CLASSROOM: DaVinci Resolve 15’s Marker Keywords in Range-based Keywording1 min read
Reading Time: < 1 minute
A combination of small featured in Resolve 15 can come together to sort of emulate Final Cut Pro X’s Range-based keywording. These aren’t all features that were new to Resolve 15 though some of them have been added and matured in recent updates. They also don’t add up to equal the unique, efficient and powerful way that FCPX can log and organize materials. But by having keywords in general Resolve has a level of logging and organization that is one feature beyond both Avid Media Composer and Adobe Premiere Pro.
Once you add those keywords to clips in Resolve you can do things with them, like collect them into a Smart Bin. If you add Marker Keywords you can add them to a range of frames by setting a duration to that marker. You can also collect them as sub-clips into other bins or even selects sequences. And there are probably more things you can do with them that I haven’t discovered yet.
This is often what I do when a new editorial tool comes around that I may have to use. I dig into some of the tools and techniques that the tool might offer and try to find unique, cool, efficient and just fun ways to use them to make craft/offline editing easier. When I do these things I often post about them on the Editblog.
