I just got done cutting a feature in Resolve after switching from Avid. I loved being able to work with the camera source files and spit out a full quality render whenever I wanted. One thing I did miss though was the way clips can be arranged and grouped manually in Avid bins.

You could group by scenes, by takes, etc... It was like a free flow canvas where you drag a clip to a spot in the bin and it stays there. Is there anyway to get that functionality in Resolve?

This feature has been added to version 20, now out in Beta.

Thanks Jim!

I just downloaded the Beta 3 on my MacBook to test drive, I can't figure out how to enable this feature. Any ideas?

Go to the … menu in the media pool and change sort by to User.

I couldn't find that exact option, but it got me in the right spot. I ended up changing my "Sort By" menu to custom, then unchecked "Snap to Grid". Works perfect!

Anyone find a RESET button for the custom sort order ? (i.e. for when you totally mess it up and need to start again )


EDIT: Not seeing a "reset", but of course it is easy enough to just highlight all the clips and make another bin, pull that up a level, then delete the old one and start "custom sorting" again. This effectively "resets" the custom order.
