For more information on the 'cut' page, see the chapter named 'The Cut Page' in the
DaVinci Resolve manual.
Media Tabs
At the top left corner of the user interface you will see five tabs.
Click on these tabs to open the media toolsets you will use when creating your edit.
For example, the first tab is the media pool and you can see it is already selected. The other
tabs are for the sync bin, media transitions, titles and effects.
Media Pool
The media pool contains all your clips, folders and files you imported using the media page.
You can also import files directly from the cut page, so you don't have to go back to the media
page if you want to import a new clip.
Sync Bin
This powerful feature automatically syncs all your clips via timecode, date and time so you can
choose angles from all cameras on a multi camera project.
Transitions
If you click on the neighboring transitions tab, you will see all the video and audio transitions
you can use in your edit. These include common transitions such as cross dissolves and
motion wipes.
Titles
Next to transitions is the 'titles' tab. Here you can select the title type you want to use. For
example a scroll, standard text or lower thirds title. There are also a list of Fusion templates
you can use for more animated dynamic titles which can be customized in DaVinci Resolve's
'Fusion' page.
Effects
The fifth tab is the 'effects' tab. This provides all the different filters and effects you can use to
bring more life to your edit, for example customizable blurs, glows and lens effects. There are
many powerful effects to choose from and you can find them quickly using the search tool.
TIP
Use the search tool near the media tab icons to find the exact items you are
looking for. For example, if you have the transitions tab selected, type "dissolve" in the
search tool and only dissolve transition types will be shown in the viewer, making it
quicker for you to find the dissolve transition you want.
Viewer Tabs
In the top left corner of the viewer window you will see the viewer mode buttons.
