MediaStorage.start_clone_media#

MediaStorage.start_clone_media(source_dir: str, target_dirs: str | List[str]) → bool[source]#

Starts cloning media from ‘source_dir’ to ‘target_dirs’.

Use set_clone_tool_settings() to configure PreserveFolderName and ChecksumType beforehand.

Note

Every target folder has to exist already - DaVinci Resolve returns False instead of creating it.

Parameters:

  • source_dir (str) – source folder path

  • target_dirs (str | List[str]) – one target folder path, or a list of them

Returns:

Returns True if the clone job was started, False otherwise

Return type:

bool

Raises:

APIVersionError – If Resolve version < 21.1.0

Version:

Added in DaVinci Resolve 21.1.0
