how to create a new project and import footage into your timeline and sponsor of today's video
raw film and origami lens be sure to check them out i'm gonna put links in the description below
raw film is a fantastic stock footage platform using red 8k footage and origami luts are
professional 3d film luds for your digital cameras be sure to check them out links in the description
below when you first start davinci resolve you're going to see this window this is basically your
project window this is where all your project going to be stored now to enter the project all
you have to do is simply double click with your left button of the mouse on this untitled project
or you can right click and select new project now if you want to keep things a little bit more
organized maybe you're doing a documentary or some kind of series you can create a new
folder let's say i want to call this one boot camp okay and let's click create so now if we're gonna
go in the folder we can also create new projects there and keep things a little bit more organized
but i don't have to do this because we're not talking about series or anything like that
so let's go into our project and i'm going to show you how to import footage double click
and we're going to have davinci resolve now by default it's going to be edit page however
if you want to change or remove certain pages you can go to the workspace navigate to show page and
you can check or uncheck page that you want to add or remove in my case i never work with a cut page
or fusion that's why i have them removed let's say i want to remove fairlight simply click on it and
we can see that the fairlet page has been deleted if i want to add it back go to the workspace again
show page and select fairlight and we can see now we have fairlight back now let's go to the media
so there's couple ways of adding media to your project first of all we have media storage by
default resolve going to show you all your hard drives currently connected to your computer
however you can add a new location send a message like location location i'm gonna come
let's say you have a hard drive with a project you can add this location once you plug it in
you can either have it as entire hard drive or you can select a specific
folder that you want to work with that's up to you so let's add clip to our media pool
media pool is basically what it sounds like it's where all our clips are going to be
right click and select import media okay just like that and let's navigate to desktop and over here
i have my file from the raw film i'm gonna double click on it and now we have this file
added to our media pool we added the file but we haven't created the timeline yet so
be very careful now on the right hand side there is going to give you a little bit
information about your file first of all you can scroll it around you can mute it if the
video or footage has any sound in our case no but still i like to mute it just
because i don't want to know you guys anyways so we have r3d meaning that it's a red raw format
it's a 24 frames a second and it's a 8k file and it's also 26 second long so it's pretty long file
just give us a little bit basic information okay and frame bit depth and stuff like that
just in case you need to have this information we can also go to the inspector and we can do a
basic stuff that i'm gonna cover in the future video but we can do like things like zoom in
position rotation and so on so i'm gonna reset all that we're gonna talk about it in the future
okay so we have our file let's create a timeline now let's go to the edit and we can see that
we have this file in the edit under a master folder master is your master general folder so
everything you add is going to be in the master folder if you're working with a multiple files or
you have a larger project you can create your own bins simply right click and select new bin with
the new bin you can call it let's say red raw okay now i can simply drag our red raw into this bin
and we have a little bit more organization going if you have couple clips obviously you don't have
to do that however if you're again working on a movie commercial documentary whatever you want
to keep things a little bit more organized this is a very nice way of doing this now
to create a new timeline simply drag this file right over here and we're gonna have a new
timeline now when you drag this file the timeline going to be created based on the information
of this file so we know that this is a 24 frames a second clip and if i'm gonna go to the settings
we can see that the timeline frame rate is 24 and it's locked we cannot change it
be very careful when you create timeline to make sure it matches your footage because for example
let's say you have 20 files and out of 20 files you have only one clip that's 24 frames and the
rest is 30 but for some reason you decided to drag exactly that file so you're gonna have at
44 frames a second timeline where all your footage is 30 frames so that's not correct
unfortunately as of right now davinci resolve does not allow to change your timeline frame rate
once you created a new timeline so you have to delete your timeline by clicking delete
and changing your frame rate manually if you want to have a different frame rate
so that's a little quirk as of right now but in our case 24 frames is perfect
we can verify it again 24 frames is locked and we have our clip into the timeline now
again let me delete all that there's a second way of doing this if we're going to go on top
to the timeline and we can select create a new timeline okay file new timeline over here
control n okay let's click on that and it's going to ask us basic question the name of your timeline
audio track and empty timeline by default it's always going to be empty we don't want that if
you want to have all your files from your bin or master to be loaded automatically
into your new timeline uncheck this and select create all your files from the bin gonna be
added automatically to your timeline and this how you create a timeline in davinci resolve
