Roll Bin Creator - Free Plugin for DaVinci Resolve

Roll Bin Creator
Plugin for DaVinci Resolve

This script generates camera roll-style bins inside the DaVinci Resolve Media Pool using a simple dialog. It allows assistant editors and DITs to quickly create structured bin hierarchies like: A001, A002, A003. Perfect for on-set dailies organization, postproduction prep, or DIT workflows, where naming consistency and speed are critical.

Works on Free and Studio Version of Resolve.

How to start?

I. Installation

Download the latest version of the plugin from EditingTools.io.
Make sure to close DaVinci Resolve before installing the plugin.
Copy the ".py" file into the plugin folder.
On macOS the plugin folder is located under: "/Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/Fusion/Scripts/Edit/"
On Windows the plugin folder is located: "C:\ProgramData\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Support\Fusion\Scripts\Edit\"
Restart DaVinci Resolve.
Open a project in DaVinci Resolve. Go to Workspace > Scripts > Edit > Create_CameraRoll_Bins
Optionally you can add a 24×24 PNG next to the script with the same base name (e.g., `Create_CameraRoll_Bins.png`) to show a custom icon in the Scripts menu.

II. Run the script

Open your project.
In the Media Pool, select the parent bin where you want the roll/card bins to be created. (If nothing is selected, the script uses the Root bin.)
Launch the script from Resolve’s menu: Workspace > Scripts > Edit > Create_CameraRoll_Bins.
In the dialog, set how many bins to create, the starting number, camera letter and amount of digits.
Press "Create" to create the folders.
Example, the settings: Letter `A`, Digits `3`, Count `10`, Start `1` will create the folders: `A001` to `A010`
Existing bins with the same name are skipped safely (no duplicates).

Disclaimer

The tool is developed and distributed in cooperation with Daniel Bañuelos. Although it has been tested in professional environments, you should always verify the outputs before integrating them into production workflows.
