Duplicating in DaVinci Resolve creates a copy of the selected clip, timeline, or effect, allowing for multiple instances of the same element within a project. It’s a fundamental technique used for creating complex compositions, organizing timelines, and experimenting with different versions of a shot.
Duplication streamlines the editing process by eliminating the need to manually recreate elements, saving time and effort. It also promotes organization within the timeline, keeping the project structure clear and manageable, especially when working with numerous clips and effects.
