I have what appears to be a 20-minute contiguous file consisting of lots of individual shots. Is there a way in Davinci Resolve to clip the individual shots in the file, name them (and do other housekeeping) and bin the individual clips.
Further info:
I've had to deal with this problem before with 20-minute files – .avi and .mov – that were scans of 20-minute 8mm film. As the job was to scan/grade/output the films for the client, I could just throw the file on the timeline and clip the file into individual shots for grading.
The client has kindly allowed me to prep some of the events footage for sale as stock footage. I splurged and got a DCI-4K scan done at 16-bit depth, as a series of .dpx files. I did this previously with a 20-minute reel of family 8mm footage my fatherhas (actually, he has 7 20-minute reels, but the other 6 will have to wait to be scanned.) My system played the series of .dpx files back at 16FPS, and the SSD the files are on should handle 24FPS playback as well.
Anyway, I'd like to be able to clip and bin the individual shots by events, so I can grade & prep by event. I don't relish doing this on the EDIT timeline (or the CUT timeline, either.) I'd like to be able to open a new timeline for, say, "MotorcycleRaceJun54", and drag all the clips from bin "MotorcycleRaceJun54" onto it and start tucking flash frames, then move to the COLOR page for grading.
Is there a way to do that, or do I still have to establish a master timeline, then copy/pasta to the sub timelines?
