User Manual

If you have two monitors connected to your computer, you can make the Viewer fill one entire
screen and keep the Resolve UI in the other monitor by choosing Workspace > Full Screen
Viewer On, and selecting the display you wish to use for the Viewer.
Media Pool
The Media Pool contains all of the video, audio, and still image media that you import into the
current project. It also contains any media that’s automatically imported along with timelines
that have been imported into DaVinci Resolve. Ordinarily, all media imported into a project goes
into the Master bin, however the Media Pool can be organized into as many user-definable bins
as you like, depending on your needs. Media can be freely moved from one bin to another from
within the Media Pool. The Media Pool also appears on the Edit, Fusion, Color, and Fairlight
pages, making it possible to browse and open clips and timelines everywhere they’re relevant.

Metadata Editor
When you select a clip in any area of the Media page, its metadata is displayed within the
Metadata Editor. If you select multiple clips, only the last clip’s information appears. The
Metadata Editor’s header contains uneditable information about the selected clip, including the
file name, directory, duration, frame rate, resolution, and codec. A series of editable fields within
the Metadata Editor lets you review and edit the different metadata items that are available.
A drop-down menu at the upper-right of the Metadata Editor lets you choose from many
different sets of metadata fields and checkboxes, each grouped for a specific task or workflow.
