The Media page is the first screen you see after loading DaVinci Resolve 11. The media page lets you access your hard drives, add footage to the timeline and render the completed project. When digging deeper on the Media page in DaVinci Resolve 11, watch this online tutorial to learn how to import videos, change Media page views, examine metadata and add shots into the media pool.
- It's now time to take a deeper look at the media page.…But before we begin, if my screen doesn't look…quite like yours does,…one of the things you might want to do is come up to View…and use this pull-down menu to reset the UI layout.…Now you should have your various panes and palettes…looking in the same position that I have here on my screen.…Whenever we launch DaVinci Resolve,…we always end up here, in the media page.…The media page is where we can browse our hard drives,…find footage we want to import…and then import them here, to DaVinci Resolve,…to eventually be placed into a timeline and then,…from the timeline, get color graded and then rendered out.…
To achieve that, in the upper left-hand corner,…we have our library browser.…The library browser will show us all the hard drives…that are both attached to our system…and viewable by DaVinci Resolve.…In an earlier movie, I showed you how you can…come up here to DaVinci Resolve Preferences…and use this media storage tab to customize…precisely what drives DaVinci Resolve sees or doesn't see.…

11/7/2014In these tutorials, indie-feature-film and broadcast colorist Patrick Inhofer guides viewers through color grading with DaVinci Resolve and Resolve Lite 11. With emphasis placed on real-world techniques and workflows, the course will help editors and aspiring colorists edit in the timeline, perform primary and secondary color corrections, match shots from multiple cameras, create mood-rich looks, and render out movies to share with clients. Interspersed throughout the course are "lingo" movies, which will help you learn the language of colorists, and "in action" chapters, where Patrick applies the lessons learned to a real-world music video for the band Minimus the Poet.
