How to bring clips and markers into DaVinci

Step by step

1. 1

   Step 1: Put the clips in the Selection

   In the left column, click Clips. Each clip shows its score, title, start and length. Check the clips you want and click Put the N checked in the Selection. With none checked, Put the N clips in the Selection brings them all.

   Step 2: Check it in DaVinci

   In the Media Pool, under FilmScribe, in your timeline's folder, under Clips, you find the Selection: one timeline with the clips in the list's order, 1 s between them and one marker per clip with its title. It uses the media already in the project, without copies, and your timeline stays open.

   Step 3: Adjust a clip's range

   Click a clip to open it. In the Range step, drag the yellow start and end handles over the waveform (or use Shift and the arrow keys). Back to the saved clip undoes the change.

   Click Create this clip's timeline. The timeline goes to the Clips folder, in the format you picked, with the captions and the template on our own tracks above the video. The range is saved in FilmScribe and shows in the app. After changing something, click Update this clip's timeline.

   Step 6: Bring the markers

   In Markers, turn on the types you want: Chapters, Emotions, Moments, Hooks and Clips, each with how many the file has. Click Add to timeline, or Add again after the first time. Your own markers stay as they are.
