Exporting BINS in DaVinci Resolve is OVERPOWERED - Make Project Templates To Reuse in Resolve

you say in the install instructions "You can copy and paste our template snap captions folder into any project you want" but I have to export bin then in the new project import bin - is that what you mean or is there a better way?

Dope, bro! Can I ask something? I have a sound effects folder (on my computer), that I keep adding onto. Is there a way I can have it auto update/check for new files by pressing a button, so it checks the computer folder for any new files vs the project sound fx bin?

I really thought this would do the trick for my needs - an intro sequence with sound effects and a fusion composition that animates 2 images. Alas, importing the bin with all that in it causes the fusion composition to show 'media offline' -- it seems the images in the fusion composition loose their linkage to the actual images on the drive. Have you seen that happening too? Is there a fix? Thanks in advance. And thanks for your wonderful pile of videos that help newbies like me learn!

Exactly what I needed, thanks for the video Casey.

Hi, thanks for the video. I tried this on DaVinci Resolve 18 (Studio), unfortunately it only partially worked. It didn't being in the Project Settings such as Resolution or Framerate?

This is crazy. Also, great to see that you and Alex are friends — you're both my current go to's for Resolve tutorials 💪🏻

Seems to be a workaround to share compounds between projects? Save them in a bin and export the bin.. but the bin file includes only references and settings and not the media itself? So its highly recommended to use a "assets" folder with footage and stuff shared between projects?

This is exactly what I was looking for!

How do I link folder to Resolve which contains music and automatically update without every time importing music

I want to create a "startup file" that has my specific aspect ratio, and fps. Exporting the bin doesn't seem to do this. When I click on the desktop icon, it comes up as the standard aspect and fps that it always does... In the past, I've tried just simply creating a "startup project", which works in most programs, but because DVR is constantly updating the file, this doesn't seem to work.

Thank you. Your channel is very helpful. I've learned some tips over your tutorials, just wanted to pay my gratitude. Have a great weekend.

This is wild, so helpful. Thanks Casey!

Thank you! This will save a lot of TIME!

Tried this 3 times and it would never save the bin folders, only the timeline.

Excellent, thank you! I often wondered what the 'Import Bin' function was - I should have RTFM!

great tool, will use pronto, love it!

This tip by @MrAlexTech for me is a huge time saving, I learnt this from him way months back and its been amazing, I learnt how to make all sorts of timelines and save them as a template. Bingo 😃😃 Thankyou you both for making video editing a breeze to the non professional video editors. ✌

I've been doing the "reuse intro/outro/etc." thing by enabling Dynamic Switching & copy-pasting from a previous video - but this is pretty dang slick, thank you!

That bin template thing has been an amazing time saver. Thanks @MrAlexTech and Casey for posting stuff to help us do better=)

Sir please your nonedited video please share a drive for video editing practice in description.🙏🙏🙏

Oh wow, this is really useful. Begs the question why Black Magic didn't just call it a "Template", thus making it much more easily findable and usable. 🤔

What would be the difference between doing it this way vs exporting a project? I currently have a blank project with my media files imported into and the project exported on my harddrives or saved in the davinci resolve project window that i duplicate and rename when starting a new project?

Would you make episode 2 as a separate project or as a separate bin/timeline in the same project?

Great job Casey, so helpful as usual. I'm glad to see Mr. AlexTech getting some props. That boy is on point!!

MrFarisTech you are the best! ❤️

That is very powerful and very useful. It will be a real time saver for me. Thanks for sharing.

THNX ALex :-) and Casey, Really like both your video's

I already subscribe to him. This was a PHENOMENAL tip too! Thank you!

I've been using resolve since 2018 but had no idea. My version of this method was to create a project called 'Template' and put all my default materials/effects on it. Then for each new project, I would duplicate the original 'template' project and put the new footage into it.

The downside is that for every new database, you need to export the original template project and import it into the new DB.

But this is so freaking amazing!

Thanks Casey, you're the best! <3

great tip thanks

This is mega Casey - helps a lot in a studio environment where Resolve is used for all kinds of stuff, not just color grading.

Very good

Cool tip, thanks.

Thanks a lot. I have been trying to move from premiere to resolve. I use Picture in Picture a lot with bevel edges, which I couldn’t find equivalent in resolve. Could you please help.

Between you and Mr. Alex, I am still trying to figure out which one of you is Obi-Wan and which is Qui-Gon Jinn.

You are BOTH Jedi Masters!

LEGEND!!!

Is this how you also transfer power bins to future versions of resolve?

**waves** oh haaaaaaay! Thank you for the shout-out as always kind sir ☺

Love time savers! Yeah gotta work on this cause I don't even use bins yet, LOL.

For sharing templates is really useful, but in the series of videos example I would just duplicate the timeline in the same project.

I wish I could give you triple thumbs up on this one!

God Daaamn, that smart

sadly color groups don't transfer over this way ):

You could probably also do that by putting your "template" in a power bin. Right?

Awesome, I've just been saving it as a project but the opening it and then saving as new.

Thank youuu
