About This Video:
If you are a one-man crew or a content creator, brand continuity is key. I walk you through my exact process of using Adjustment Clips to save color grade presets and effects directly into the Power Bin. Whether it's a "Vintage Lens" look or a standard YouTube Subscribe animation, keeping these in your Power Bin ensures they are just a drag-and-drop away in any new project timeline.

NOTE: Keep in mind that while effects created inside Resolve stay linked, video files (like film burns or logos) dragged into Power Bins reference a specific location on your hard drive. If you move the source file, you will need to relink the media!
