Your channel has really helped me learn Da Vinci Resolve after leaving Premiere Pro. Keep up the good work man.

Always feel a need for your help when it's come to Da Vinci Resolve ❤

Great video, thanks.
I can recommend another way. You can export the bin with all the folders and files. Then every time you open a new project, you can import the bin with all the folders and materials you saved.
A little tip - you can't export an empty folder.

Thanks for this video George. Your videos are always very helpful and to the point. I just started my own channel and I'm hoping to improve as I go. Keep doing your thing!

more people watch you than comment. Thank you so much for covering this maybe unsexy but _very necessary_ topic.
I have a crap ton of assets in a crap ton of folders spread across several places in my computer & it is a gargantuan mess. At least I've backed up everything on more than one drive. Any organizing strategies to tame the sprawl is _greatly_ appreciated!

Thanks for the great tips, a few of which I have not seen elsewhere. have have been very helpful to me as a novice to DVR. The best, for me, was to color code the clips by frame rate - saves me so much time.
I also love the reasonable pace as you are not rushing through everything as fast as possible to trying to cram 30 minutes of info into an 8-minute video.
The chapter markers are essential and allow me to go back to review just the pieces the I may not have fully grasped the first time through.
Lastly Ohhh thanks, thanks, thanks for not ruining your great presentation by overlaying LOUD discordant "music" to compete with your very clear dialogue. Well done. Just subscribed.

Thank you, sweetheart ❤ as always a hugely helpful video 🙏 why would you want to convert 60/120 FPS to 24 FPS once they’re in Media Pool?
