Get used with the Media page interface and know what's the purpose of the first page of DaVinci Resolve.

You need now to import your media, so you can organize your project to start the assembly and the editings of your video.

Understand the importance of removing the media from your Media Pool the right way.

It's crucial to know how to preview your media in the Media Pool to review what clips you have.

Sometimes you can get a choppy preview and playback, and this lesson will help you to improve the preview for a very smooth playback.

Don't want to deal with a big clip everytime you need a part of it? Then the subclips will help you with that.

Do you have an already edited video with many scene cuts, and want to split that clip in many others automatically?

DaVinci Resolve will help you with the Scene Cut Detection feature.

Metadata are informations about your clips inside the own clip's file, and they can be used to organize and search your media in many useful ways inside DaVinci Resolve, specially if you have a lot of media in a big project.

Make automatic and smart organizations of your media using smart bins and metadata combined.

Use many clips' attributes and metadata to search and sort them, so you can find them much easier.

Here we are going to evaluate your knowledge about the fundamentals of DaVinci Resolve.

Here you will know the first page where you can create your video and make your editings.

It's possible to import media in the Cut page too, and this lesson will help you to this very easy.

Importing media  on the Cut page is specially recommended when you have only a few clips to import.

You need to know how to navigate well in your bins and move your media between them when you want to rethink your organization.

Configure and create how many timelines you want inside your project to start making your editings.

Have total control over the way you insert media into your timelines.

Do you want to insert media faster and easier into your timelines? This lessons will teach you THE BEST shortcuts to make that and to improve your PRODUCTIVITY.

You need not only to insert your media into the timeline, but you can also need to remove them sometimes. There are some tricks on doing this, and I will teach all the details in this lesson.

Does your clip is not at the position that you really want? No problem, let's see how to reposition them in many ways.

Practice your new knowledges about DaVinci Resolve with this VERY NICE guided exercise, where I will be your director asking you to make some basic editings in the timeline.

You can use how many tracks you want in DaVinci Resolve to make your editings shine!

Your clips should be exactly the size that you want them to be in the timeline, so this lesson will teach you how to trim clips to reduce or expand them.
