[@Metal_Face_Doom]

I came here to learn how to import a timeline from one project to another... and left this video supercharged after learning about "Smart Bins"!!! Thank you for this short and powerful tip!

[@gaxjr7137]

I'm an indie filmmaker currently editing each scene of a feature separately in different projects, unsure how I was going to connect them all. THIS has really helped me. Thank you!

[@apunkagamer3924]

Hey can you hire me as freelancer i have experience of davinci resolve more than 5 months .

[@TCR128]

We have a new you tube channel and we are in it for the long haul. We are enjoying the journey and learning so much from you. You are a great instructor and making all this fun. Thank you so much. 😊

[@mrkillakarebear]

I have done this for 90% of my YT Shorts and it works great. I glad to someone do a video on it. Thank you for all the great Davinci tip and tricks keep them coming.

[@hamradiowithkevin]

That was freaking awesome. Had no idea. This will be VERY VERY useful. Thanks for being a rockstar and sharing such tips.

[@joyoffilming9500]

This video, already watched month ago, now became a lifesaver for me. Thanks, Alex!

[@waynieoaks]

MrAlexTech to the rescue again... Every time I want to quickly know how to do something (or remember how I did something 6 months ago) Alex has a video about that...

[@GaryCunninghamyouareenough]

Alex, you literally save people tonnes of time man - thank you so much 🤟🙏🏻

[@tornadostories]

Brilliant. Thank you. I've had to do this loads recently, and it took me forever with the way I was going about it. This is quicker!

[@martocodo]

Thanks for the help! also the Timeliney tips genuinely made me laugh and almost spill my coffee so I had to subscribe 😂

[@MrAlexTech]

Timeliney Tips... Timeliney tips! It's still fun to say 😄😄👍

[@RobertShaverOfAustin]

I was a bit confused by the name "ExistingTimeline." At first I thought it was a special item named by Resolve that is always the timeline you are working on. After listening carefully about what you said, I now understand it is the name of the timeline you had created. (Naming things carefully is really important for understanding, especially if you come back to a project months or even years lager.) Thanks for an outstanding channel.

[@xariyl]

"Smart bin for timelines"... I swear. I think I know everything you're going to talk about, and then you surprise me with something that SHOULD have been obvious but somehow I missed. I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos.

[@MrAlexTech]

I'm going to run out of secrets eventually though 😄

[@xariyl]

[@shayrealestatephotography]

This works perfect, so easy! Thanks Alex.

[@andrewchristiephoto]

I LOVE you solved this problem in the first 20 seconds 🔥🔥🔥

[@-Mohog]

Thank you for this great tip. This is pretty much what I was looking for and needed, but couldn't figure out myself.

[@SirTools]

Always something nice to know. I've had trouble in the past with cut and paste on timelines. Thanks Alex :)

[@CinderGamingChannel]

Thank you for all the Tutorials!! I can't tell you how much I've learned from them all!!!!!

[@TheThinkersBible]

Great information. Exactly what I need to do right now. I've watched another video that said you have to copy all those elements by hand then paste them into another project. That may work -- but your method is dead easy and makes it impossible to miss an Adjustment Layer or whatever. Thanks!

[@Comedy4cast]

It took me forever to re-find this video! But I'm glad I stuck with it. I remembered the concept from my first viewing, but wanted to re-watch it now that I'm about to use the technique myself.

[@Despacitoporelmundo]

So simple, yet sometimes I need this kind of help. Thank you!

[@jinkart]

i was searching for this. Thanks you very very much my friend, it's helps me a lot 👍💙

[@danielhorgan8918]

That was extremely helpful and well made. thank you!

[@michaelmontano1]

thanks for making this straight fwd and simple. I went to 4 other KZbin channels and they all seemed very slow to get to the point.

[@Algo_Trader_2024]

are you serious??? THAT saves me sooooo much time man thanks for that!!

[@Diego_Cabrera]

Thank you!! Saved me so much time, I had a fully edited video that I had to re-film because davinci crashed and corrupted all my footage

[@timesausages]

Top Notch work as usual!

[@DellanaMetalArts]

That Smart Bin tip is great! Thank you!

[@waterfallrich]

Just what I was looking for. Your videos are the best - thanks!

[@tonyodonnell9655]

Alex 'ya bugger! Where were you last week! I was Ctrl C/Ctrl V all over the place but couldn't get it on my new timeline. Cheers as always amigo.

[@lucabastianello9830]

Learnt day one this, but always useful. When really big timelines I still prefer to export and import timelines, less trouble

[@horizontalblanking]

I’ve been doing this with my silly YT blog. I made an opening that I really like, so I just keep copying it from one timeline to the next as a make new episodes… super handy!

[@s7evenTV]

I was wondering about this a few days ago actually, thank you for this!!!

[@Foreverr90]

Hello greetings. Thank you for making it so enjoyable, simple and rewarding. A hug

[@nikita.kapustin]

Exactly what I needed! Thanks!

[@XEONFX23]

Wow i'v always wanted to know how to do the timeline thing. Thanks for sharing!

[@abi219]

I have been looking for how to do this for a while. So darn handy. Thanks 😊👍👍👍

[@OrchestralMusicMidJourneyArt]

I so needed to know this tip!!! Now I know thanks to you!! THX!

[@adedayoaladejebi3285]

Nice 👍🏾. Copying and pasting this instanta. Thank you Bàbá mi

[@charlieross-BRM]

I've been using this feature since the summer and it's very efficient. I bring in opening titles and ending credits from a set I've got "just right" in a project I have whittled down to only having that sort of content I will repeat with or without changes to entries. This segment by Alex was a good reminder though because I just went to see if it jibed with what I was doing and my setup has disappeared! Up to then I was able to open multiple projects, use a menu item or the dropdown over the monitor window to switch projects and timelines, etc. etc. Resolve is getting a bit confounding.

[@urgebharadwaj9081]

Thankyou so so much❤ it saved me a ton of time!!❤❤❤

Awesome, I had no idea you could do that, thanks for sharing and for being Awesome yourself!

0:42 click on House icon - doubleclick target project - locate the timeline Ctl+C - Click on House icon - open your original project - Media Tab create new bin - Paste

[@its.sayeh_]

Thank you so much for sharing this! It’s very useful 🙏

[@larrymuana2260]

awesome tutorial thank you

[@margotunger6936]

Hi Alex! - Your "Timelineyyyy tips" are really great!!👍🎉🎉thank's a lot!! They help me to connect different smaller projects!! But, when importing a certain timeline into my new Masterproject, the footage is always out of focus! Although it's definitely sharp in the "original project"! Do you have any advice?? Please!! - It drives me crazy....😵‍💫

[@SimonStansfield]

Timeline in Smart Bin! Genius!

[@redumbrella4218]

Great job thank you!

[@mauridocarmo7167]

It helped a lot. Thx ;)

[@stormcrow3642]

Great tip thanks. Any chance you can retain the footage file structure when pasting?

[@TheThinkersBible]

Cool tips, thanks! Is there a way to copy all the elements of one timeline into another timeline in the same project? Yes we can select all the data from all the tracks and copy/paste but we could miss some things that way - is there a way to copy/paste into another timeline in the same project they way you can copy/paste it between projects?

[@camlar007]

That is EXACTLY what I am needing to know! I really wished he would have thought of and included that in this video. I am so stuck.

[@camlar007]

I fiddled around a bit. I noticed that you can do above steps, but then when you paste onto your timeline, it will by default ONLY paste in current position where it originally was on the other timeline. It is rather crazy, but at least I got it on there by shifting my current content on timeline 2, in order to paste desired content from timeline 1 onto it. You can then shift everything afterwards. I am sure there would have to be an easier way, but this is the one that will do for me, for now.

[@DrPawfection]

Thanks Alex

[@funsly.]

I came and got my answer within the first 12 seconds.

[@CyborgOTS]

Thanks man!

[@marianamontessandoval859]

ohhhh thank you!!!

THANK YOUUUUU

[@tzuuyaolee9402]

Ahh so that’s how to open another project when u have one opened haha😂always close and relaunch the whole davinci 😂

[@mishanmnch]

thank you bro!

Hey Alex, thanks for the video. Is there a way, when pasting, to retain the media bins structure from the copied timeline project?

[@LaureninGermany]

Ok. Too weird. I literally searched yesterday to see if you’d made this video. I ended up selecting everything and pasting like that. Right, let’s see it there’s a better way… Ahhhh yes, there is! Thanks!

[@ADLtheMusafir]

your videos are great...i dont understand why my smar bin doesnt show past timelines any video you have on that or any tips?

[@timodeeCOM]

Hey Alex! Thanks for that video 👍🏻 I want to use DaVinci mainly for adding elements like Titles and Thirds to almost ready videos. I got presets that I downloaded as projects. Can I use what you said above to copy the elements I need from the preset projects to the project I do my edits in? Can I create a new project that has everything I need in it for the future? So I copy everything I need from there? Thanks! Awesome channel ✌🏻

[@IanConnel]

Hagrid: Yer a wizard, Alex

[@MrAlexTech]

Haha best comment I've had recently! 😂

Thaaaannk You!

[@aliikarra4839]

THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[@ElTimba]

thank you.

[@asphaltandtacos]

Very cool tip!

[@serenjiminie]

Is there a way to save a compund clip for future use? I have a made a video with transparent background and want to use it with transparent background later? Is there a way to make a shortcut for it or do I need to go and copy it from the old project everytime?

[@rayvelt]

is there a way to copy the cuts and retime curves so i can place them over a other video?

[@EnglishEvolution]

I sooooo tried copy paste before I came here. Didn't paste before, still doesn't paste.

[@l0rdcroissant]

great simple video that reminded me of some options to use when working between two projects, thank you so... for smart bins would the clips appear in any project if they are in there.

[@MrAlexTech]

Not Smartbins. Smart bins basically automatically filter your media pool within your current project. For access to clips across all projects, you'll want PowerBins :)

[@l0rdcroissant]

@@MrAlexTech excellent and thank you ;)

[@FLASHAHOLIC_TV]

Certainly doesn't work like this on my DaVinci resolve!

[@redumbrella4218]

I tried and it worked. However all the color correction is off. I also tried Dynamic and the color goes crazy as well. Do you have any ideias how do deal with it? Best

[@goofyCatttt]

Dumb question but what If i want to copy and paste all my existing audio settings from my Audio track 1 to a new project

[@ilikemyrealname]

Although this worked to get the timeline and media into a new project, Resolve did a poor job in keeping the edits how they were in the previous project. More than a handful of edits were just slightly off when compared to the previous project. It was not a 1:1 copy/paste. Thank you still for the information.

[@treythethird3487]

Why can’t you simply copy your cut up footage hit command whatever and create a new project like you can in Final Cut Pro?

[@VzuallStudio]

Is this equivalent to creating new sequence??

[@jbconcepts4459]

you're awesome

[@ShotByZevon]

🔥🔥🔥

[@BanderaFilmsAndMusic]

Let's say I have a timeline with my own editing, and a friend of mine wants to edit my timeline, too, to practice. If I copy it and paste it in a new project to export it without any FX, would that change my original timeline, too? If I take everything off in that second timeline, am I also taking it off my first one?

[@SailInFinland]

Found this when needed to copy timelines between projects but following this, I cannot get the Fusion stuff to follow along. Any hint on how to also include Fusion in the copy process?

[@BharathManjesh]

facing the same issue, doesn't look like it works for fusion clips

[@details-details-details4390]

can I import the continent of a .dra file into an existing project?

[@tripachu3804]

Amazing video as always! I do have a question however every time I activate to show multiple timelines at once it would show up for only that project. When ever I start a new project it doesn't show up any more and I have to re enable it. That also is the same for the fusion tab with locking thing on to the node's Grid and the same with changing the timeline settings. Is there a way to make them stay up there permanently without having the change them every single time I start a new project

[@MrAlexTech]

you know what, this is a good question! I thought you could save the layout but that doesn't work either. Hmmmm. I'll look into it so more :)

[@okechukwuanudokem2060]

Second . Timelinely

[@fredpolo69]

My grade didn’t copy over. It only copied the raw files. Help please😮

[@ExploringEarthEP]

My immediate thought here is that I could somehow have a timeline for long form and a timeline for shorts and create the shorts as I'm creating the video it's cut from.

[@horseshoe804]

how to do that in hitfilm tho??

[@dr.gregoryf.maassen2637]

Hi Alex, here is an idea for your channel. AI is going wild, so how is DR going to keep up with AI developments? We have depth maps, audio correction, content fill already, but it looks like that this is just the beginning. Cheers and congratulations on your channel's success.

[@tommyboyvisuals]

This deosn't work. Not actually able to copy clips from timeline and paste into another
