All language subtitles for 5. Smart Bins Media Tab Kolder Creative

So smart
bins are a very, very useful feature

with individual resolve

that allow us to find, filter
and organize our footage within our media

pool regardless of the folder structure
that we've created.

So, for example,
let's say you're working on a project

with tons of different cameras,
resolutions and frame rates,

and you want to create a folder
with only one specific frame rate.

While smart bins allows us to do that,
and it makes it very easy.

So let me show
you guys exactly how to do this.

Okay, So I'm in my media tab
within Da Vinci, and you can see that

I have all of my files here,
all of the media

that I'm using in my project,
in my media pool.

Now, this footage
consists of different frame rates.

It consists of 24 frames per second, 6120.

And for some reason,
sometimes it is shooting at 119

and sometimes exactly
120 frames per second.

Now, what would be the fastest way to find

only the footage
that is shot at 120 frames per second?

Well, that's where smart bins
come into play.

Now you can see that
we have this little smart bin

window down here right
next to the media pool.

If you're not seeing that,
you can go up to view

and just make sure that show
smart bins is selected.

It has a little checkmark there.

What we could do is in the smart bins
window

here, right
click and select Add Smart Bin.

Now we have this pop up window
that allows us to filter out

what is going to be
put into this smart bin

or left out of the smart bin.

So let's call this smart bin.

120 FP You can call it whatever you want.

It's just good to label
the folders that you know

what the contents of each folder is.

So what we could do down here is select
what we wants to put in this folder.

So Media Pool properties
lets changes to metadata clip details.

So the details of each individual clip

we want to focus on the frame rate

and we want it to be 120 frames
per second.

So we could see behind this pop up window.

It's showing me all of the clips that are

120 frames per second within this project.

So all of those folders that we saw
in the master

folder, it's
filtering through all of those

looking for everything that is 120 frames
per second.

Now, I know that this project
also has some footage

that was shot at 119.98,
and it's not showing me that.

So what I could do is click
this little plus button

right here and it's going to add
another row of properties

that smart Bins is going to look for

to put into this smart bin
that we're creating.

Now we can see that everything disappeared
behind us here, and that's

because over here at the top,
we have match all of the following rules.

So if all of the following
rules is selected,

that means that the clips
that we're trying to put in this folder

both need to be 120 frames per second

and also one 19.88.

Now, a clip
can't be both of those frame rates.

So what we're going to want to do
is changes from match all to any.

So now back here
we can see that we not only have

just 120 frames per second clips,
but also clips that are one 19.88.

Now we have all the clips that are 120
frames per second in the entire project.

And what we could do is click create.

And now we have this folder in the Smart
bin section called One Traps.

Now we've created this folder.

It's not actually moving anything
in our media pool.

Everything's still stays
the same within the master

folder here and our folder structure
in the media pool.

This is just creating a folder
that we can quickly access

all of the stuff within our project
that's just shot at 120 frames per second.

So I could just click that
and very quickly it's going

to show me everything that was shot
at 120 frames per second.

Now this smart bin window can be found
throughout all of the different tabs

individually,
except for the cut tab in the export tab.

We could see in the edit tab
we have our smart bins here.

Fusion smart bins,
same place next to the media pool.

Same with color, same with Fairlight.

All of those give us quick access
to the smart bins window.

Again, if you don't see it,
you can just go up to view.

Make sure that smart Bins is selected
and you'll be able to view it in

all of these different tabs
down here below.

Now, when we are creating a new smart bin,
we can see that

Da Vinci gives us
so many different options to choose from

when filtering out
what media we want to be

putting into the smart bin.

It even gives us the option on what
we don't want to put in the smart bin.

So if there are some specific files
within a project

that we want to exclude from a smart bin,
we can do that as well.

So let's say that I want to include
everything in this project

except for everything that was shot
at 24 frames per second.

So I could do the same thing
and instead of is I can select is not

and we can choose 23.9 76 or actually 24.

I could see
a lot of the stuff was shot at 24 and now

it's going to create a bin for us
with everything in the project

except for the stuff that was shot
at 24 frames per second.

And now we can call this folder
not 24 frames per second.

We can click create.

And now we've created another smart bin
that can allow us

to quickly access all of the footage
that was not shot at 24 frames per second.

Now, this specific project
was all shot on the exact same camera.

It was a phone, it was a OnePlus Pro nine.

But on most of my projects
I'm using a bunch of different cameras

and in my master folder here in the media
pool, I don't organize by camera.

I organized by day, right?

And within each day it shows
the individual cameras that I used.

But let's say I wanted to create a folder
with just all the drone stuff

within my project
without messing or compromising

the original folder structure
that we've created here.

So what I would do in that situation
is create

a new smart
bin here, call it drone footage

and media pool properties

leave that file
name contains and right DJI.

Now DJI drone files
always have DJI in the file name.

So now what it's going to do
is filter through the entire media pool

and look for any files
with DJI in the file name.

So by writing DJI here, it's
going to filter through all of the media

in the media pool and only show me
the footage that has DJI in it.

So if this project had DJI footage in it,
it would show everything back here

and it would create this smart bin

that would hold all of the drone footage
within our project in it.

So now when I'm editing,
does it matter what tab I'm in?

I can go to my smart bins
and when I need some drone footage,

I can simply go to the drone clips
folder and see

all the drone footage
from the entire project.

This would be much, much faster
than going into

each subfolder in the media pool

and going into the drone subfolder
within that folder,

trying to sort through
all the drone clips in the project.

We've essentially bypassed

the need to do that by creating
this smart bin called drone clips,

where we can quickly access
all of the drone clips within our project

or all of the footage
that was shot at 120 frames per second.

Smart bins can save you so much time
and I'm super stoked

that Da Vinci gave us this feature.

So there you go.

That is how I use smart bins
within my projects.

I highly recommend that you guys start
using these in your projects

not only to stay organized,
but also to save time.

So that's it for this video
I hope you guys enjoyed.

I hope you learn something new
and I'll catch you in the next one.
