I don’t comment a lot but I must say this has become my favorite channel for Davinci Resolve content. Something about the way you explain things. It’s so clear, to the point and helpful. Keep up the good work!
@@CreativeVideoTips And may I add to the fact that you add content that is really needed in editing & invaluable; like the subject of this video; consolidating and archiving your project. I did this quite effortlessly in Premiere but somehow it seems more elusive in Davinci.
Get this - Pilots with over 20,000 hours, and decades of experience, still use a checklist for every single take-off and landing. Every single time! They do that because skipping something on those lists by mistake can lead to catastrophe! I love your videos, and I think it's an injustice that you're only at 22K followers, so I'm sharing an idea that I think will really help you and, as far as I know, nobody else is doing it, and everyone would use. It's also particularly well suited to you as you're an expert at cutting videos down, and you don't have to produce any new footage, plus I think that this could really grow your channel fast and you'd retain your subscribers. Here's what you do: Relaunch the videos you've already made, but cut down to just the sequences from start to finish. You would use your existing footage, but with new VO covering the steps one after another until it's done. No explanation, no instruction, NONE! This would be geared towards people who already know how to do it, but like your pilot, wants to make sure that they don't miss anything crucial and want to get the best results. For example: "Rendering your video for RUclips in HD", "Rendering your video to RUclips in 4K", "How to share a project with another Resolve user - hand off", How to send someone your Resolve project to someone who uses Adobe PP or FinalCut". No explanations or reasoning allowed, just the steps. If someone sees that you do something differently and wonders why you do things that way, they can go and watch the full explanation video that you made. For instance, I just watched the video above because I haven't used media manager in a little while, and I wanted to see what tips you have that I might not know (you usually have something to offer that I didn't know, and I think I know a lot about Resolve!). But in a little while, I'll have to watch this video again when it's time to clear some space on my computer because I don't want to make a mistake that I'll only realize after I've made it when I open my archive! You already make amazing videos that are to the point and not a huge time commitment and still explain the how and the why, so you'd be advertising for yourself and people would find you because that's what they're looking for. I don' t know about other people, but when I search RUclips for a video, I look at how long it is first. I love many RUclipsrs, but I don't want a comedy sketch or their backstory when I'm on deadline. This idea will work (still a ton of work, sorry) and selfishly, I really want that list of videos for myself. But if you're up to it, these videos will catch everyone who is new and experienced in Resolve alike and drive them to your existing content.
In general, great, relaxed, fast precise way of explaining stuff, man. Highly appreciated among all these partly pretty unsorted guys here on youtube...
I was dreading my inability to trim down to my used only files and stumbled upon this video. This is such a time saver and great deal of help. Liked and subscribed. Thank you so much!
MAAAN Such a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow!!! A BLESSING!!! Just saved myself TBites of backpain // tnx a load >>> keep it up >>> btw bell is activated, damn you deserve it! Peace&Love from Berlin
My habit with footage files is to rename them after offload and backup. Something like projectid-projectname-cameraid-colorspace-prefix.filetype Ie ABC123-MyGreatProject-A-Slog3-001.mov Makes it easier to see what you have especially on big multi camera shoots and searchable within resolve. Takes 2 seconds with a filenamer and makes media management much easier.
This is a fantastic idea to retain that metadata! I have often used a program called edit ready to rewrap into mov and rename but hadn't though of putting color space info in the filename. Love it dude.
This is great! I've been getting these half hour long clips (literally, sometimes more) and of course most of it is junk. I am a fan of keeping raw footage so this will save tons of space for me.
I think it gets overlooked often. Partly because it is an extra step and sometimes on some footage it will error out. I love saving space though whenever possible. Thanks for watching.
I learn something new every video. You ARE, helping us. This program has so many surprisingly smart functions. Even though you're on a MAC, I can still appreciate every tip. Please translate the keys when you can. Thanks for your dedication!
@@CreativeVideoTips thanks for the heads up. Been using Davinci now for almost 2 years and really stoked with the tips on your channel. It's really opened my eyes to quicker workflows so I can spend more time on being creative.
@@CreativeVideoTips Thanks Chadwick, I've been wondering about this. Next question...How do you delete the originals? Does hitting the delete key on the project remove all related files (timeline, footage, all the other files that Davinci might make in a project to fully free up the disk space)? Or is there a better way to remove all remnants of the project and free up all the disk space used by that project?
Thanks so much for explaining so clearly what handles are. Terminology is so different from everything I know from 3D and even AE. Been looking everywhere including the manual for this :)
Thanks for the video! I’ve had resolve for a few years but have just been using the basic features. This will help me to save storage space once I’ve finished a project and want to store someplace else for backup.
Davinci Newbie here. Where is the best practices location for all the Davinci files? I have (2) drives. My C: drive with the program installed on it. (SSD) and my work file drive D: (Non-SSD). Do you have any guidance as to where the best places to store the Proxy, Cache & Export (Rendered) files should be? -- Thanks in advance, I really like your channel! No BS & no over-acted, over-hyped talking head videos.
hey Chadwick, thanks for this simple well paced explanation! obviously I only found your channel fairly recently! I am still looking for a way to shorten some clips out of my camera which, being wildlife, run on way too long without anything happening - and I'd love to trim them to keep only the juicy useable bits at the same quality, Could this media management do that too???
The issue I have with Resolve's media management is that its H264/5 encoders are... for lack of a better word: rubbish. I can get much smaller and better looking files encoding with some custom settings using HandBrake or ShutterEncoder. Out long-term storage format looks like this: 4K H265 10bit 4:2:2 at Medium Q10 with FLAC audio. This results in aber 60-70% space-savings compared to the 100Mb/s H265 files straight out of camera. While my RTX 3060 6GB and even 40% slower GTX 1660S 6GB play back up to four of these highly compressed H265 streams, once you introduce color grading and have more than one clip timeline perforance suffers. Mainly for my co-editor that only has a GTX 1050 Ti 4GB we use H264 8bit proxies which work like a charm, even on our 2.7K timeline with some heavier color grading. Just thought I'd throw in my experience.
Hey everyone, heads up that Media Manager in version 18.0.4 seems to be broken (fails to copy all files on every attempt for me). If anyone is having success let me know, or if a fix has been found also let me know please! PS - thanks for the video sir! Your stuff is great!
I wish, I feel the struggle as someone who edits in both apps. The older pre - FCPX version did have this feature. I believe you need a 3rd party app to do this in Final Cut now. www.arcticwhiteness.com/finalcutlibrarymanager/ Makes some good stuff, however I haven't tested it so I can vouch for how it performs.
That's a good suggestion - but I could probably answer most of that in a quick comment. I would pick avid for multi-user workflow (yes resolve has it, it just isn't as solid from an offline perspective), I'd pick avid for very large episodic shows that deal with lots (and I mean thousands of hours) of footage - .mdb files track assets much better, and I'd pick avid for offline editing trimming responsiveness - things like marking i/o with a dynamic trim. EVERYTHING, and I do mean just about everything else I'd suggest davinci resolve. I have close to a decade experience on both systems and very confident that there isn't much you can't do with Resolve, it might just struggle more in the mentioned things above.
Great informative video. 🙂 Although, I am trying step by step to do the same and it says that the system failed to copy the files. It doesn't give any explanation why. I have 2 Tb documentary that with the media management is cut to 50GB Project which i have to send to our grader but i am stuck. Need some help. please any advices are gold. (All the clips on the time line are in the Media pool)
Fantastic information and I love your clear and concise way of presenting. I have 2 observations if you could shed some light on this for me (if possible). I did try the Media Management timeline space saving option but it did fail many times. 1. I pin-pointed the issue to the file format m4v (Apple Devices HD (Best Quality)). How would I get around this? Try to reformat those clips to something else? 2. The Media Manager highlighted that the 'NEW SIZE' would be 7.69gb (for timeline Copy, used media & trim editing (15)), yet when I go to the folder with everything inside it was 27.12gb!?! What's going on there as it's not then as 'space-saving' as anticipated. many thanks for comments.
I'm not sure if I feel comfortable getting rid of the old files since I may only grab a couple seconds here and there. But to your point my disk is almost full... I see you don't rename your files. Do you use Kyno or anything like that to manage your videos, where you can add tags and things for later lookup? I'd like to see how you manage hundreds of files in a single project. I have a lot of difficulty managing the timeline with so many clips.
I edit my videos from a 2TB Sandisk but after every video project is done I archive all video, audio, photo's and anything related to the project on to two separate 18TB external drives using one as a back up. Then I just export the Davinci project without any media, renders, proxy or anything, just a raw project to a master folder along with all my other old Davinci projects. Then if I ever need to re-edit an old project, I just open the project back up in Davinci, transfer the old archived media folder back onto my 2TB external drive, then re-link all the files to the timeline. To me, my method seems like it will save more hard drive space in the long run while also preserving all the old media just in case the client wants to use an odd clip or audio that we ignored previously or I want sell stock footage or make a highlight reel later. What are your thoughts on my process compared to yours? Are you deleting your master media files after you do your process, is that how your are saving hard drive space?
Very helpful video! Is there a difference in editing directly on a high end computer like Mac M1 Max vs a very fast SSD - having 4K Multicam and Color gradings aso… ?
@@CreativeVideoTips Thanks, I thought I buy the M1 Max and then I don’t have to care about proxies, grading and other stuff - I was wrong 😭 Keep on doing your great videos!
Hi, this was super helpful. I am confused about do we save projects on the internal drive, and the footage on an external drive? If so, how exactly? Sorry, I am editing my first Resolve project.
Aewesome. Yes in general you will save your project files in an internal drive stored in a resolve database. Footage can live wherever you’d like. This video goes over databases for ya. Have fun - How to MOVE a DaVinci Resolve Project File Location EASILY! - Tutorial ruclips.net/video/TsKwaJtQFA0/видео.html
@@CreativeVideoTips Thx man! This was super helpful. I followed the steps. Do we then delete the original project so that we free up hard rive space? And for some reason when I choose "Used media and trim keeping" (24 frame handles) the file size becomes drastically SMALLER. Any idea why? Thanks again for the great tutorial!
For long term storage consider exporting a Project Archive and uploading the result into AWS S3 Glacier Deep Archive. The per-month storage cost is VERY low and you don't have to worry about HDs going bad. There is a cost to restore but you can build that into the bid if you have a need to revisit the old footage.
great suggestion Jason, I have used backblaze B2 before but not glacier - either way, I like the way you think. My understanding is with the project archive you don't have the option to trim the media, is that still the case do you know?
@@CreativeVideoTips Correct, so if you still wanted to trim you'd make use of the Media Management features you went over to cut down the clips, then make a Project Archive of the resulting project. If the delta is some reasonable number of GB I'd suggest not trimming since the marginal cost to store in Glacier is tiny, while if you are doing local storage it makes more sense as once you need a new HD the cost is high.
I use a Synology NAS for most of my data, and I have it set up to backs itself up to Glacier automatically. The initial backup was baaaad (so much data!), but it's a one time thing as from then on it's done incrementally. If you have a NAS, see if it'll do the work for you!
I have had S3 for maybe a decade or more. I have some old archive stuff in deep freeze that costs me pennies a month. I don't have any timelines stored in there though. I really ought to use it more instead of endless TBs of spinning disks!
I really like this approach you showed, but there is one big flaw or maybe you have a solution for me. If you use Clip grouping and grades on pre- and post group nodes in your project, those settings are not stored to the timeline files. Since is use the POST-Group for my Look-Dev they are gone importing the values back to a project. This would be an awesome fix for DR and I don't understand why this is not working right now. Thanks for you awesome content. I really enjoy your teaching style.
Davinci Resolve is surprising me more and more each time! If I chose to keep (copy) entire clips rather than the trim handles+ would that keep information (like that would be accessible by Sony Catalyst Browse)? Or would that still be lost?
Hey me too! The more I learn about it, the more there is to it. Now this is a good question that I actually don't know the answer to, but my strong hunch is that you will lose the necessary metadata for things like catalyst browse to stabilize footage (if that's why you're using it). However raw clips like blackmagic raw can still change color temperature and all the things so this might work. I just haven't tested it yet. Please let use know if you do a quick test.
So I am looking to make a master export of my project to archive so someone can just take the master folder and have everything. My question is why when you media manage the project why doesnt it export a drp like the timeline? and how would I do this. Basically I would like to have an archive of the whole project and all footage and a master archive that is just the used media.
Very curious how the Copy and Trim function works for long GOP (non-intra-frame) footage, since it usually isn't possible to trim these files without transcoding. I wonder if Resolve is smart enough to trim to the nearest i-frame and make a bit-for-bit copy of the file, or if it is actually transcoding.
Hi Ben, it is very specific to certain codecs. I can't find a rhyme or reason to it (long gop or not). I would suggest just testing on your specific footage in your project you'd like to shrink down. I would love this whole feature to get a warning on clips that might cause issues or it to fail.
Hi chad, genuine worry here! I have a question and I think you might actually be able to help. I’ve got a nearly 2hours 4k movie project to edit pretty soon - all files are bRAW, and I’d like to know of any tip to allow for efficient editing without it driving me nuts with lagging. I say that because I recently did a less than 5 min edit and the strain on my iMac was considerable. Easy at first but by the time I added sharpness, NR, grading, fusion compositions etc it slowed down and often froze my computer altogether. I am quite anxious what will happen when I need to edit the 2 hour project in a few weeks. Do you have a workflow that allows for this sort of heavy editing requirement? Is there a way to edit those bRAW files in a compressed way of sort? Really looking forward to your response on this. Thanks for all you do!
Hey I am so glad you asked this, because heck yes there is a solution! They are called proxy files and I cover them in this video here - ruclips.net/video/3WZ28rOy-Co/видео.html - This workflow will create a lower resolution, easy to edit, stand-in file that works behind the scenes. Then on your exports it will use your BRAW originals.
That was really helpful but do you know is there any possibility to exclude certain files? For example I use B-Roll in multiple projects and don't need to archive it with each project.
Awese video once again! Am really enjoying your content, especially as a noob to DR. If you copy the timeline as you have demonstrated in this video, and then import again at a later date, does it retain all the edits and enhancements made in colour, fusion, fairlight etc?
We looked seriously at cantenmo several years ago but never pulled the trigger. I don’t have much experience with any of them other than I use a tool called neofinder. Neofinder keeps a scan of every disk, holds metadata about them and thumbnails.
Great process but has anyone had luck getting around failed exports? Every time I try this, it fails at the first file it comes across. The files are there because they're in the timeline and the render. Also having an issue doing a full dra export from studio. Loading onto the client's free version and get the watermark on ~1/2 the clips despite there being zero fx used. Also doesn't export the color grade which is a pretty massive issue.
The biggest culprits are non-timecoded H264, jpegs, pngs, and tiffs. I know this covers a lot of material that is in a typical project, but try seeing if you remove those if you can manage the bulk of your footage.
Hey Chad: you're talking about a 5 minute video with maybe 10 minutes total video clips shot. I make TOY R/C Model airplane videos where I'll have several hours of video clips in a folder and make multiple videos from all these separate clips shot at a 3 day event. What happens to all those clips not used, If I do this process?
great video!! in order to save space on the internal HD is it possible to use and edit files directly in the external hard drive such as samsung T7 ? Thank you ric
Thanks for some very informative and helpful videoes! I just experienced that I LOST ALL MY GRADE, when exporting the timeline via media management, because I use a lot of pre/post GROUP-grades. It's only the nodes/grade made on the individual clip which is copied... Just a word of caution. OR am I missing something? (I also lost my bin/folder structure though I had ticked the box, "preserve hierarchy')
Love your channel! Question: I've been having some issues with media managing a project in DR18 . . . are you showing here that DR is supposed to automatically create the drt or drp as part of the mdeia management process?
Hello. Since I use Resolve, and media Management (since 12 years now), the consoldiate often failed at 99%. Is this something you allready experimented ?
Man, I need to get into the habit of doing this. I currently have about 10TB of archived footage... entire motorcycle rides that I cut into videos for my YT channel.. this would drop that by probably 8TB [I cut out a lot of stuff] :D Thanks!
It certainly could! Note that some file types struggle more than others with the built in media management tool. You should for sure give it a try and let us know how it works on your next project.
@@CreativeVideoTips yeah, I have about 100 projects in an archive folder in DR's project manager, and all the footage in folders, most of which was in DR16. Interesting test with very little down side.
@@CreativeVideoTips OK, I tried it on 2 small projects that I won't be reusing footage from: one seems to have worked OK, the other one has Media Offline for one of the relinked clips. The clip in question is part of a longer clip that I sliced & diced to shorten the video and remove takes. Any suggestions?
Hi, this simply does not work for me. I trimmed out more than 90% of my original footage, but the "New Size" remains exactly the same no matter what I do, including selecting the "Used media and trim" option. And when I go through with it, I find copies of the entire raw videos despite me only using a few seconds of each one.
Hello. Thank you for this video. I have a problem: each time I try to use the media manager: it crash (with all the settings). Do you have any idea for a solution? Thank You so much (would you excuse my poor english, i'm from France).
Thought I would mention subclips do not keep their audio right now (ver. 18.0.2). I checked my footage after using Media Management and it lost the footage associated with subclips. It also failed for me when I had "Preserve hierarchy after 0 folder level". Once I deselected it, I was able to generate the trimmed media with timeline. One interesting thing is I think the .drt (Davinci timeline) is no longer needed after it is imported. I dont know where the .drt are stored in Davinci. I looked for them and couldnt find them.
I've been trying to trim my Canon Raw Light footage (.crm) but sadly no luck on it. No matter what I do, it will save the same original files without trimming them. I have no idea what to do, there doesn't seem to be any other program that supposedly does that. :(
For some reason, when I follow all the steps, I don’t get the .drt file, I’ve tried with the entire project as well and no .drp either. Is there something I’m doing wrong?
Since when you save the timeline it includes a .drt file to re-import it whenever I assumed the same thing would happen if I saved the entire project. However when saving the entire project it seems to only save the media and not the project itself meaning there's no easy way to re-import it. I was gonna use this as a way to re-organize all my files so they're not all scattered across my computer anymore and as a way to backup my project. However if I wanted to do that would I have to save each timeline individually?
Good stuff! :) If I understand correctly in case if I archive my project this way ( in order to save space on my hard drive and be able to delete the original footages afterwards) I won't loose any quality of the footages ( 4k footages remains the same quality as the originals from the camera) and I will get copy of the original footages without the color grade I made in the relevant project? I only loose some information you mentioned in the video regarding gamma etc. Thanks! :)
Hi Joel, I have in the past with footage from Dragons from several years ago. Our church is currently testing out a Red Raptor and some Komodo's so I'll see what happens with that media because I haven't tried since they moved to the Light, High Quality style of codecs and away from the ratios.
When I "copy used media and trim with handles", it always fails to copy the WAV audio file, if I just copy used, the audio file gets archived as well. Any idea why? Thanks
I am just starting to watch this and trying to move over from FCPX and this seems pretty "confusing" IS there any way just to copy the project with out all the media and then reconnect the media later? As it is with FCPX I just keep a copy of my original clips on 2 separate hard drive then just copy my library that has all my projects in it to another hard drive and then later can just open that Library and reconnect all the media files and clips? IS there an easy way to do this with Davinci? I would rather manually keep my Media and clips somewhere else and reconnect when I need to and not have to save double the media and clips unnecessarily. Hope that makes sense. I am sure it should be the same way pretty much but not sure you have donde it that way here..
hi, i really enjoyed your video it was so informative :) im really afraid about makinga mistake and taking a risk of losing my data in the future so, i would love to go over with u for a few min (zoom or whatsup call) if possible :)
Hello, how do you copy used media and trim in FCPX? So the same thing as in DR. I am searching in RUclips but can't finde anything as useful as this video!
A think this companies product is the I only way that isn’t manual - arcticwhiteness.com/

Hi, this tip is amazing, however, I have a problem. It looks like I have everything set as you do, but every time I'm pressing "start" it fails. Resolve tells me which file was problematic so I tried copying only selected clips. Then it tells "Failed to copy X media files". Do you have any idea how can I fix that?
Hi - thanks for giving this a try. Can you let me know what the file format is (camera, codec, etc...)? Also - do you have the option to try to copy to a different hard drive or location - it could potentially be a disk permissions issue.
my first clip, where It says it fails, is a.MP4 ,4k, from SONY FDR-X3000R, theres also a music track in the background .
3 года назад
@@CreativeVideoTips These are clips from Sony a6400 (4k, 25p, mp4). I tried copying to different locations, but I have to check if doing it from other places makes any difference.
I just tried this too, and it only works if I disable Preserve Hierarchy for some reason, and will otherwise fail on the first file (a .wav file from an external recorder, but I expect that it'd fail on any file). Oddly, it also takes more space than the original project (even when using 0 handles), as it's copying both the original media and the trimmed media?! This is with the latest DR (17.2.2), and clips from an A7SII, but I don't think the clips themselves are a problem. My gut says it's something about how the project is structured. Maybe that I have all the audio files linked to clips in the timeline, not sync'd (uhh... I derp'd up good there, haha). Or maybe something about how I've set up the colour grading, though that's super standard I think.
Frustrated! Davinci Resolve media management blocks on wav files. Watched your video and various RUclipss. Tried various settings. Process fails after a bout 40 minutes, always on a wav file. My project has 682 clips. Otherwise Resolve 18.6 runs quite well on my machine (i9-12900, 32Gb, RTX 3090, Win 10). I've heard mention of Resolve Collect as a solution but I'd have to fork out $55 USD just to see if it solves my problem? 🙀 Any suggestions?
Thanks for the tutorial!! At 7:23 you are mentioning an app that can read sony picture profiles but I can't quite understand the name. Do you mind please mentioning which one is that? Thanks a ton!

Great content, Keep it up !!!
I don’t comment a lot but I must say this has become my favorite channel for Davinci Resolve content. Something about the way you explain things. It’s so clear, to the point and helpful. Keep up the good work!
You made my day Brian. You are too kind. It’s great to hear the tips have been useful. Cheers!
@@CreativeVideoTips And may I add to the fact that you add content that is really needed in editing & invaluable; like the subject of this video; consolidating and archiving your project. I did this quite effortlessly in Premiere but somehow it seems more elusive in Davinci.
Agreed!
Get this - Pilots with over 20,000 hours, and decades of experience, still use a checklist for every single take-off and landing. Every single time! They do that because skipping something on those lists by mistake can lead to catastrophe! I love your videos, and I think it's an injustice that you're only at 22K followers, so I'm sharing an idea that I think will really help you and, as far as I know, nobody else is doing it, and everyone would use. It's also particularly well suited to you as you're an expert at cutting videos down, and you don't have to produce any new footage, plus I think that this could really grow your channel fast and you'd retain your subscribers.
Here's what you do: Relaunch the videos you've already made, but cut down to just the sequences from start to finish. You would use your existing footage, but with new VO covering the steps one after another until it's done. No explanation, no instruction, NONE! This would be geared towards people who already know how to do it, but like your pilot, wants to make sure that they don't miss anything crucial and want to get the best results. For example: "Rendering your video for RUclips in HD", "Rendering your video to RUclips in 4K", "How to share a project with another Resolve user - hand off", How to send someone your Resolve project to someone who uses Adobe PP or FinalCut". No explanations or reasoning allowed, just the steps. If someone sees that you do something differently and wonders why you do things that way, they can go and watch the full explanation video that you made. For instance, I just watched the video above because I haven't used media manager in a little while, and I wanted to see what tips you have that I might not know (you usually have something to offer that I didn't know, and I think I know a lot about Resolve!). But in a little while, I'll have to watch this video again when it's time to clear some space on my computer because I don't want to make a mistake that I'll only realize after I've made it when I open my archive!
You already make amazing videos that are to the point and not a huge time commitment and still explain the how and the why, so you'd be advertising for yourself and people would find you because that's what they're looking for. I don' t know about other people, but when I search RUclips for a video, I look at how long it is first. I love many RUclipsrs, but I don't want a comedy sketch or their backstory when I'm on deadline. This idea will work (still a ton of work, sorry) and selfishly, I really want that list of videos for myself. But if you're up to it, these videos will catch everyone who is new and experienced in Resolve alike and drive them to your existing content.
I always feel lucky when I found a RUclipsr like this guy, you can simply to learn and get the information you need. Gem
Ah dude - you are too kind. Thanks so much for the support.
I think I've found "my guy" for DaVinci tutorials:) I like your way of explaining things. Subbed! Good job!
Hey, thanks! I really appreciate you watching and never be a stranger in the comments - I try to collaborate and learn from everyone as much as I can.
Same here!
Like to see the Grandma's Chocolate Chip Cookies. It be great to see the final video of your timeline. That would make for a great tutorial.
Chad your channel is the BEST for Davinci Resolve. Thank you for the knowledge.
Help a lot! Finally growing up and managing my footage in a more professional way!
Amazing! I think it's the middle ground I've been looking for, between saving everything and saving nothing. Thanks!
You are so welcome! I "try" to do this as often as I can remember to - although you can see I have an issue with keeping too much data. :)
One of the only channels I don't have to increase the playback rate of ;). Great content.
In general, great, relaxed, fast precise way of explaining stuff, man. Highly appreciated among all these partly pretty unsorted guys here on youtube...
That is very kind of you to say. I really appreciate you watching!
Your tips helped me slash my media hoard in half and archive it safely to an external HDD.
Brilliant. Love your low-key style-and your offbeat humor🤣
I was dreading my inability to trim down to my used only files and stumbled upon this video. This is such a time saver and great deal of help. Liked and subscribed. Thank you so much!
Glad it helped! Thank you so much for watching.
MAAAN Such a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow!!! A BLESSING!!! Just saved myself TBites of backpain // tnx a load >>> keep it up >>> btw bell is activated, damn you deserve it! Peace&Love from Berlin
Dang, I wish I had seen this before archiving a bunch of projects and saving them offline. Would have saved space and time!
Haha! I always find myself re-doing “finals” then extending the name with “final for sure”
My habit with footage files is to rename them after offload and backup. Something like projectid-projectname-cameraid-colorspace-prefix.filetype
Ie ABC123-MyGreatProject-A-Slog3-001.mov
Makes it easier to see what you have especially on big multi camera shoots and searchable within resolve. Takes 2 seconds with a filenamer and makes media management much easier.
This is a fantastic idea to retain that metadata! I have often used a program called edit ready to rewrap into mov and rename but hadn't though of putting color space info in the filename. Love it dude.
Great tips my man
Glad to help
This is so incredibly helpful - thank you! Now I'm off to watch your videos on the speed editor so I can utilize all of its functionality 🙂
This is great! I've been getting these half hour long clips (literally, sometimes more) and of course most of it is junk. I am a fan of keeping raw footage so this will save tons of space for me.
Great to hear!
I had no idea this was possible. I've just been deleting my projects to save space and keeping the final videos 😫 thanks again man!
I think it gets overlooked often. Partly because it is an extra step and sometimes on some footage it will error out. I love saving space though whenever possible. Thanks for watching.
I learn something new every video. You ARE, helping us. This program has so many surprisingly smart functions. Even though you're on a MAC, I can still appreciate every tip. Please translate the keys when you can. Thanks for your dedication!
You are so welcome! This is great to hear.
Very helpful. Thank you.
Never knew this existed! This is going to definitely change my workflow and media management. Thanks!
Happy to help! Watch out for jpegs and pngs, and some types of H.264 without timecode. I have found those to sometimes be problematic.
@@CreativeVideoTips thanks for the heads up. Been using Davinci now for almost 2 years and really stoked with the tips on your channel. It's really opened my eyes to quicker workflows so I can spend more time on being creative.
Your tuts are so helpful and, i can feel the hard work behind them...thank you so much...keep rising brother.
Your sister from Seville Spain
I really appreciate the kind words and encouragement. And back atcha. Cheers.
Awesome video, helped me A LOT!!!! Thanks man
What a great way to reduce my HD archive space - thank you!
dude thank you! I'm sorry i'm so far behind on comments and missed this. I really appreciate your generosity!
Love the tips and the KYD shirt! :-)
KYD is the best! They are one of my top 5 favorite youtube channels for sure. Thanks for watching.
Thank You Chadwick for another super useful workflow tip
Very welcome
Super clear and well presented tutorial 🤘
This saved me a whopping 3 gigs. yippee
Awesome great channel 👍 subscribed
cool tips brother....Thanks♥
Thanks for the fast response. I thought you can now delete the originals.
Sure thing! Yep, I just always double check myself (before I wreck myself) - ok, let's pretend I didn't just make that joke.
@@CreativeVideoTips Thanks Chadwick, I've been wondering about this. Next question...How do you delete the originals? Does hitting the delete key on the project remove all related files (timeline, footage, all the other files that Davinci might make in a project to fully free up the disk space)? Or is there a better way to remove all remnants of the project and free up all the disk space used by that project?
I actually thought I was sub’d …..ur nice welcome clip worked!
You rock Tim, thanks for the support and watching :)
This was very helpful thanks!!!
Thank Joshua!
Thank you so much for this tutorial you've made my day! Your channel is awesome keep going!!!!
Glad I could help! I really appreciate the comment.
Wow this was again super helpful!! So glade RUclips recommended me your channel 🙏🏼
Welcome!! I"m glad you ended up here.
You Sir are awesome!
You are!
Thanks so much for explaining so clearly what handles are. Terminology is so different from everything I know from 3D and even AE. Been looking everywhere including the manual for this :)
Glad it was helpful! Yep it's those extra little bits/frames left and right. The color page has a clever way of letting you use those too.
Thanks for the video! I’ve had resolve for a few years but have just been using the basic features. This will help me to save storage space once I’ve finished a project and want to store someplace else for backup.
You are a legend. Thank you.
Mate this was awesome! I never knew you could do something like this! 🙏🙏
Glad you liked it! Note, it can be finicky on some file types - but I think they made it a lot better here in version 17.
great video! I had no idea this was even possible with resolve!
Thanks Jordan, it’s a great thing for sure. Test out with your footage because it can be finicky depending on the codec.
great channel, will stick around during my transition from premiere to dvr and beyond :)
Thanks for the video, keep up the good work!
thank you, much needed
Davinci Newbie here. Where is the best practices location for all the Davinci files? I have (2) drives. My C: drive with the program installed on it. (SSD) and my work file drive D: (Non-SSD). Do you have any guidance as to where the best places to store the Proxy, Cache & Export (Rendered) files should be? -- Thanks in advance, I really like your channel! No BS & no over-acted, over-hyped talking head videos.
hey Chadwick, thanks for this simple well paced explanation! obviously I only found your channel fairly recently! I am still looking for a way to shorten some clips out of my camera which, being wildlife, run on way too long without anything happening - and I'd love to trim them to keep only the juicy useable bits at the same quality, Could this media management do that too???
Hi. Absolutely that is the best part of this tool. Note some camera codecs don’t work so it’s hit or miss, but do give it a shot.
The issue I have with Resolve's media management is that its H264/5 encoders are... for lack of a better word: rubbish. I can get much smaller and better looking files encoding with some custom settings using HandBrake or ShutterEncoder.
Out long-term storage format looks like this: 4K H265 10bit 4:2:2 at Medium Q10 with FLAC audio. This results in aber 60-70% space-savings compared to the 100Mb/s H265 files straight out of camera. While my RTX 3060 6GB and even 40% slower GTX 1660S 6GB play back up to four of these highly compressed H265 streams, once you introduce color grading and have more than one clip timeline perforance suffers. Mainly for my co-editor that only has a GTX 1050 Ti 4GB we use H264 8bit proxies which work like a charm, even on our 2.7K timeline with some heavier color grading.
Just thought I'd throw in my experience.
Did you ever end up making a tutorial about Remote Grading?
Hey everyone, heads up that Media Manager in version 18.0.4 seems to be broken (fails to copy all files on every attempt for me). If anyone is having success let me know, or if a fix has been found also let me know please!
PS - thanks for the video sir! Your stuff is great!
I also just found out about that and it's a time saver.
This is amazing! Can you do this in Final Cut Pro too??
I wish, I feel the struggle as someone who edits in both apps. The older pre - FCPX version did have this feature. I believe you need a 3rd party app to do this in Final Cut now. www.arcticwhiteness.com/finalcutlibrarymanager/
Makes some good stuff, however I haven't tested it so I can vouch for how it performs.
@@CreativeVideoTips Thanks for your answer. Really apriciate
Whoa! We just met. maybe a dinner and a movie first? lol 4:43
Very Cool 😎👍🏼
It sure is - hope this helps!
Hi sir , can you do a davinci resolve vs avid comparison, so that we can know the strength and weakness
That's a good suggestion - but I could probably answer most of that in a quick comment. I would pick avid for multi-user workflow (yes resolve has it, it just isn't as solid from an offline perspective), I'd pick avid for very large episodic shows that deal with lots (and I mean thousands of hours) of footage - .mdb files track assets much better, and I'd pick avid for offline editing trimming responsiveness - things like marking i/o with a dynamic trim.
EVERYTHING, and I do mean just about everything else I'd suggest davinci resolve. I have close to a decade experience on both systems and very confident that there isn't much you can't do with Resolve, it might just struggle more in the mentioned things above.
Great informative video. 🙂 Although, I am trying step by step to do the same and it says that the system failed to copy the files. It doesn't give any explanation why. I have 2 Tb documentary that with the media management is cut to 50GB Project which i have to send to our grader but i am stuck. Need some help. please any advices are gold. (All the clips on the time line are in the Media pool)
Fantastic information and I love your clear and concise way of presenting. I have 2 observations if you could shed some light on this for me (if possible).
I did try the Media Management timeline space saving option but it did fail many times. 1. I pin-pointed the issue to the file format m4v (Apple Devices HD (Best Quality)). How would I get around this? Try to reformat those clips to something else?
2. The Media Manager highlighted that the 'NEW SIZE' would be 7.69gb (for timeline Copy, used media & trim editing (15)), yet when I go to the folder with everything inside it was 27.12gb!?! What's going on there as it's not then as 'space-saving' as anticipated. many thanks for comments.
I have another reply here with more details, but try disabling Preserve Hierarchy.
I'm not sure if I feel comfortable getting rid of the old files since I may only grab a couple seconds here and there. But to your point my disk is almost full... I see you don't rename your files. Do you use Kyno or anything like that to manage your videos, where you can add tags and things for later lookup? I'd like to see how you manage hundreds of files in a single project. I have a lot of difficulty managing the timeline with so many clips.
I edit my videos from a 2TB Sandisk but after every video project is done I archive all video, audio, photo's and anything related to the project on to two separate 18TB external drives using one as a back up. Then I just export the Davinci project without any media, renders, proxy or anything, just a raw project to a master folder along with all my other old Davinci projects. Then if I ever need to re-edit an old project, I just open the project back up in Davinci, transfer the old archived media folder back onto my 2TB external drive, then re-link all the files to the timeline. To me, my method seems like it will save more hard drive space in the long run while also preserving all the old media just in case the client wants to use an odd clip or audio that we ignored previously or I want sell stock footage or make a highlight reel later. What are your thoughts on my process compared to yours? Are you deleting your master media files after you do your process, is that how your are saving hard drive space?
Very helpful video! Is there a difference in editing directly on a high end computer like Mac M1 Max vs a very fast SSD - having 4K Multicam and Color gradings aso… ?
Thanks, yes for sure there’s a difference but a lot has to go with the codec and resolution. If you work with proxies you can make ANY computer sing.
@@CreativeVideoTips Thanks, I thought I buy the M1 Max and then I don’t have to care about proxies, grading and other stuff - I was wrong 😭 Keep on doing your great videos!
Hi, this was super helpful. I am confused about do we save projects on the internal drive, and the footage on an external drive? If so, how exactly? Sorry, I am editing my first Resolve project.
Aewesome. Yes in general you will save your project files in an internal drive stored in a resolve database. Footage can live wherever you’d like. This video goes over databases for ya. Have fun - How to MOVE a DaVinci Resolve Project File Location EASILY! - Tutorial
ruclips.net/video/TsKwaJtQFA0/видео.html
@@CreativeVideoTips Thx man! This was super helpful. I followed the steps. Do we then delete the original project so that we free up hard rive space? And for some reason when I choose "Used media and trim keeping" (24 frame handles) the file size becomes drastically SMALLER. Any idea why? Thanks again for the great tutorial!
If I save the timeline, can I then delete the original raw footage folder?
For long term storage consider exporting a Project Archive and uploading the result into AWS S3 Glacier Deep Archive. The per-month storage cost is VERY low and you don't have to worry about HDs going bad. There is a cost to restore but you can build that into the bid if you have a need to revisit the old footage.
great suggestion Jason, I have used backblaze B2 before but not glacier - either way, I like the way you think.
My understanding is with the project archive you don't have the option to trim the media, is that still the case do you know?
@@CreativeVideoTips Correct, so if you still wanted to trim you'd make use of the Media Management features you went over to cut down the clips, then make a Project Archive of the resulting project.
If the delta is some reasonable number of GB I'd suggest not trimming since the marginal cost to store in Glacier is tiny, while if you are doing local storage it makes more sense as once you need a new HD the cost is high.
@@Toramt Ah makes sense. I need to take a look at glacier storage again.
I use a Synology NAS for most of my data, and I have it set up to backs itself up to Glacier automatically. The initial backup was baaaad (so much data!), but it's a one time thing as from then on it's done incrementally. If you have a NAS, see if it'll do the work for you!
I have had S3 for maybe a decade or more. I have some old archive stuff in deep freeze that costs me pennies a month. I don't have any timelines stored in there though. I really ought to use it more instead of endless TBs of spinning disks!
I really like this approach you showed, but there is one big flaw or maybe you have a solution for me.
If you use Clip grouping and grades on pre- and post group nodes in your project, those settings are not stored to the timeline files. Since is use the POST-Group for my Look-Dev they are gone importing the values back to a project.
This would be an awesome fix for DR and I don't understand why this is not working right now.
Thanks for you awesome content. I really enjoy your teaching style.
Davinci Resolve is surprising me more and more each time! If I chose to keep (copy) entire clips rather than the trim handles+ would that keep information (like that would be accessible by Sony Catalyst Browse)? Or would that still be lost?
Hey me too! The more I learn about it, the more there is to it. Now this is a good question that I actually don't know the answer to, but my strong hunch is that you will lose the necessary metadata for things like catalyst browse to stabilize footage (if that's why you're using it). However raw clips like blackmagic raw can still change color temperature and all the things so this might work. I just haven't tested it yet. Please let use know if you do a quick test.
So I am looking to make a master export of my project to archive so someone can just take the master folder and have everything. My question is why when you media manage the project why doesnt it export a drp like the timeline? and how would I do this. Basically I would like to have an archive of the whole project and all footage and a master archive that is just the used media.
I work with 2 guys, and we have a lot of trouble to get file editable by 3 persons on the nas
Have you checked out the new Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini - this should solve a lot of problems. I will have one in soon to try out.
Very curious how the Copy and Trim function works for long GOP (non-intra-frame) footage, since it usually isn't possible to trim these files without transcoding.
I wonder if Resolve is smart enough to trim to the nearest i-frame and make a bit-for-bit copy of the file, or if it is actually transcoding.
Hi Ben, it is very specific to certain codecs. I can't find a rhyme or reason to it (long gop or not). I would suggest just testing on your specific footage in your project you'd like to shrink down. I would love this whole feature to get a warning on clips that might cause issues or it to fail.
Hi chad, genuine worry here! I have a question and I think you might actually be able to help. I’ve got a nearly 2hours 4k movie project to edit pretty soon - all files are bRAW, and I’d like to know of any tip to allow for efficient editing without it driving me nuts with lagging. I say that because I recently did a less than 5 min edit and the strain on my iMac was considerable. Easy at first but by the time I added sharpness, NR, grading, fusion compositions etc it slowed down and often froze my computer altogether. I am quite anxious what will happen when I need to edit the 2 hour project in a few weeks. Do you have a workflow that allows for this sort of heavy editing requirement? Is there a way to edit those bRAW files in a compressed way of sort?
Really looking forward to your response on this.
Thanks for all you do!
Hey I am so glad you asked this, because heck yes there is a solution! They are called proxy files and I cover them in this video here - ruclips.net/video/3WZ28rOy-Co/видео.html - This workflow will create a lower resolution, easy to edit, stand-in file that works behind the scenes. Then on your exports it will use your BRAW originals.
That was really helpful but do you know is there any possibility to exclude certain files?
For example I use B-Roll in multiple projects and don't need to archive it with each project.
Awese video once again! Am really enjoying your content, especially as a noob to DR.
If you copy the timeline as you have demonstrated in this video, and then import again at a later date, does it retain all the edits and enhancements made in colour, fusion, fairlight etc?
It also fails for me if I tick the box "preserve hierarchy after..." any ideas?
Can you recommend a third party Media Asset Management MAM software that works well with Resolve? I have a small team that use Shared NAS storage.
We looked seriously at cantenmo several years ago but never pulled the trigger. I don’t have much experience with any of them other than I use a tool called neofinder.
Neofinder keeps a scan of every disk, holds metadata about them and thumbnails.
Great process but has anyone had luck getting around failed exports? Every time I try this, it fails at the first file it comes across. The files are there because they're in the timeline and the render.
Also having an issue doing a full dra export from studio. Loading onto the client's free version and get the watermark on ~1/2 the clips despite there being zero fx used. Also doesn't export the color grade which is a pretty massive issue.
The biggest culprits are non-timecoded H264, jpegs, pngs, and tiffs. I know this covers a lot of material that is in a typical project, but try seeing if you remove those if you can manage the bulk of your footage.
Hey Chad: you're talking about a 5 minute video with maybe 10 minutes total video clips shot. I make TOY R/C Model airplane videos where I'll have several hours of video clips in a folder and make multiple videos from all these separate clips shot at a 3 day event. What happens to all those clips not used, If I do this process?
some clips getting failed to archieve can you please sir
great video!! in order to save space on the internal HD is it possible to use and edit files directly in the external hard drive such as samsung T7 ? Thank you ric
Thanks for some very informative and helpful videoes!
I just experienced that I LOST ALL MY GRADE, when exporting the timeline via media management, because I use a lot of pre/post GROUP-grades. It's only the nodes/grade made on the individual clip which is copied... Just a word of caution. OR am I missing something? (I also lost my bin/folder structure though I had ticked the box, "preserve hierarchy')
Love your channel! Question: I've been having some issues with media managing a project in DR18 . . . are you showing here that DR is supposed to automatically create the drt or drp as part of the mdeia management process?
Why is it that some of the files are offline when i do what you just did.
Hello. Since I use Resolve, and media Management (since 12 years now), the consoldiate often failed at 99%. Is this something you allready experimented ?
Man, I need to get into the habit of doing this. I currently have about 10TB of archived footage... entire motorcycle rides that I cut into videos for my YT channel.. this would drop that by probably 8TB [I cut out a lot of stuff] :D Thanks!
It certainly could! Note that some file types struggle more than others with the built in media management tool. You should for sure give it a try and let us know how it works on your next project.
@@CreativeVideoTips yeah, I have about 100 projects in an archive folder in DR's project manager, and all the footage in folders, most of which was in DR16. Interesting test with very little down side.
@@CreativeVideoTips OK, I tried it on 2 small projects that I won't be reusing footage from: one seems to have worked OK, the other one has Media Offline for one of the relinked clips. The clip in question is part of a longer clip that I sliced & diced to shorten the video and remove takes. Any suggestions?
Hi, this simply does not work for me. I trimmed out more than 90% of my original footage, but the "New Size" remains exactly the same no matter what I do, including selecting the "Used media and trim" option. And when I go through with it, I find copies of the entire raw videos despite me only using a few seconds of each one.
Hello.
Thank you for this video.
I have a problem: each time I try to use the media manager: it crash (with all the settings).
Do you have any idea for a solution?
Thank You so much (would you excuse my poor english, i'm from France).
Thought I would mention subclips do not keep their audio right now (ver. 18.0.2). I checked my footage after using Media Management and it lost the footage associated with subclips. It also failed for me when I had "Preserve hierarchy after 0 folder level". Once I deselected it, I was able to generate the trimmed media with timeline. One interesting thing is I think the .drt (Davinci timeline) is no longer needed after it is imported. I dont know where the .drt are stored in Davinci. I looked for them and couldnt find them.
I've been trying to trim my Canon Raw Light footage (.crm) but sadly no luck on it. No matter what I do, it will save the same original files without trimming them. I have no idea what to do, there doesn't seem to be any other program that supposedly does that. :(
For some reason, when I follow all the steps, I don’t get the .drt file, I’ve tried with the entire project as well and no .drp either. Is there something I’m doing wrong?
Since when you save the timeline it includes a .drt file to re-import it whenever I assumed the same thing would happen if I saved the entire project. However when saving the entire project it seems to only save the media and not the project itself meaning there's no easy way to re-import it. I was gonna use this as a way to re-organize all my files so they're not all scattered across my computer anymore and as a way to backup my project. However if I wanted to do that would I have to save each timeline individually?
So after archiving, can you delete original footage?
Yep as long as you’re confident you have everything you need. A good way to test this is to remove the drive that has the originals.
Good stuff! :) If I understand correctly in case if I archive my project this way ( in order to save space on my hard drive and be able to delete the original footages afterwards) I won't loose any quality of the footages ( 4k footages remains the same quality as the originals from the camera) and I will get copy of the original footages without the color grade I made in the relevant project? I only loose some information you mentioned in the video regarding gamma etc. Thanks! :)
Have you tried the handles on r3d’s? I know Davinci can trim r3d, but have actually never trimmed it in Davinci.
Hi Joel, I have in the past with footage from Dragons from several years ago. Our church is currently testing out a Red Raptor and some Komodo's so I'll see what happens with that media because I haven't tried since they moved to the Light, High Quality style of codecs and away from the ratios.
When I "copy used media and trim with handles", it always fails to copy the WAV audio file, if I just copy used, the audio file gets archived as well. Any idea why? Thanks
I am just starting to watch this and trying to move over from FCPX and this seems pretty "confusing" IS there any way just to copy the project with out all the media and then reconnect the media later? As it is with FCPX I just keep a copy of my original clips on 2 separate hard drive then just copy my library that has all my projects in it to another hard drive and then later can just open that Library and reconnect all the media files and clips? IS there an easy way to do this with Davinci? I would rather manually keep my Media and clips somewhere else and reconnect when I need to and not have to save double the media and clips unnecessarily. Hope that makes sense. I am sure it should be the same way pretty much but not sure you have donde it that way here..
hi, i really enjoyed your video
it was so informative :)
im really afraid about makinga mistake and taking a risk of losing my data in the future
so, i would love to go over with u for a few min (zoom or whatsup call) if possible :)
Hello, how do you copy used media and trim in FCPX? So the same thing as in DR. I am searching in RUclips but can't finde anything as useful as this video!
A think this companies product is the I only way that isn’t manual - arcticwhiteness.com/
Hi, this tip is amazing, however, I have a problem. It looks like I have everything set as you do, but every time I'm pressing "start" it fails. Resolve tells me which file was problematic so I tried copying only selected clips. Then it tells "Failed to copy X media files". Do you have any idea how can I fix that?
Hi - thanks for giving this a try. Can you let me know what the file format is (camera, codec, etc...)? Also - do you have the option to try to copy to a different hard drive or location - it could potentially be a disk permissions issue.
@@CreativeVideoTips I have the same prblem ! I used files from SONY a7 s II, on this, also some clips from SONY action cam .
my first clip, where It says it fails, is a.MP4 ,4k, from SONY FDR-X3000R, theres also a music track in the background .
@@CreativeVideoTips These are clips from Sony a6400 (4k, 25p, mp4). I tried copying to different locations, but I have to check if doing it from other places makes any difference.
I just tried this too, and it only works if I disable Preserve Hierarchy for some reason, and will otherwise fail on the first file (a .wav file from an external recorder, but I expect that it'd fail on any file). Oddly, it also takes more space than the original project (even when using 0 handles), as it's copying both the original media and the trimmed media?!
This is with the latest DR (17.2.2), and clips from an A7SII, but I don't think the clips themselves are a problem. My gut says it's something about how the project is structured. Maybe that I have all the audio files linked to clips in the timeline, not sync'd (uhh... I derp'd up good there, haha). Or maybe something about how I've set up the colour grading, though that's super standard I think.
Frustrated! Davinci Resolve media management blocks on wav files.
Watched your video and various RUclipss. Tried various settings. Process fails after a bout 40 minutes, always on a wav file. My project has 682 clips.
Otherwise Resolve 18.6 runs quite well on my machine (i9-12900, 32Gb, RTX 3090, Win 10). I've heard mention of Resolve Collect as a solution but I'd have to fork out $55 USD just to see if it solves my problem? 🙀
Any suggestions?
Thanks for the tutorial!! At 7:23 you are mentioning an app that can read sony picture profiles but I can't quite understand the name. Do you mind please mentioning which one is that? Thanks a ton!
You’re welcome - Sony Catalyst Browse is the app you want to download.
