  Keywords

  Posted by Nina Tailor on July 25, 2025 at 10:07 am

  Keywords : is there a way to have a keyword collection listed within a bin ( like in FCPX) as opposed to in collections ( which lists keywords in the whole project- which in the doc I’m working on is begining to look like an unwealding phone book )

  Hey Nina,
  That’s a great question. Resolve handles keywords globally, so once you tag a clip the keyword shows up in the Keyword Collections panel for the entire project, not just inside a bin like in FCPX. There isn’t a per-bin keyword collection view, but you can keep things tidy with Smart Bins and metadata:

  • Smart Bins with filters: build Smart Bins that include a keyword and also narrow by bin/folder or other metadata (e.g., “Interview” and inside “Day 1”).
  • Bins + keywords combo: keep bins as your main structure (Day 1, B-roll, Interviews) and apply keywords within them; search/filter combines both.
  • Custom metadata (Studio): add fields like Scene/Take/Day and build Smart Bins on those for more control.

  If it helps, I can share screenshots to guide you step by step.
