USING STRINGOUT TIMELINES in DaVinci Resolve

In this episode I show you how to work with “pancake” or stringout timelines in the Edit page, a technique favoured by many editors.

This technique is particularly useful if you are working with large numbers of clips in your project as you don’t have to open each one individually to view it, and is similar to working with the Source Tape in the Cut page.

I look at two main workflows. The first uses stacked timelines to copy and paste clips from your stringout into your main edit. The second shows you how you can leverage all the editing functions in Resolve by loading the stringout timeline into the Source Viewer.
