I've been playing with Resolve for a few years now, and this is quite possibly one of the most useful admin topics I've seen on t'internet-land. In fact I don't think I've come across a tutorial like this. There is one more thing that I really, really, really appreciate with this specific tutorial. And that's not having to hear the closing mantra repeated by every single person who publishes an episode "Hit that Like Button, subscribe, bla, bla, bla". It is incredibly boring, frustrating and tedious to hear that monotone mantra chanted on everything I watch. You played the self promotion just right with this episode.

I find this frustrating coming from FCP and Premier. Although probably the only thing I've disliked so far. The problem is that when you do export a project to say - a specific external work drive. Then you decide you want to open this project later to make a few tweaks. It actually creates a copy and imports it back into the local database. There seems to be no option to open in place and then save in place.

These are the basics I've always needed to know with my PCs since 1989. WHERE THINGS ARE. I guess there's a name for my condition but since I get asked a lot to retrieve images from other peoples' systems. I cannot stand the blind faith mentality of "it's on my computer." Davinci just changed up things a bit but this segment helps with parts of the puzzle, especially about using "export archive" which I think I'll be applying often for backups and sending off projects.

When you archive a project ( when you are done ) I always delete all my render cache, unless I am exporting them with the project for handoff. But you have to do this in the project before you close and export. In the off chance you have to reopen and rework something, you can just give the project some time to re cache... this will save you A LOT of space on your hard drive..

I just got a new computer and am new to Davinci, this sounds like what I'm trying to do to maximize efficiency while editing, but not fill my computer's HD up. I want to keep everything on my computer while working on it, but then once i've completed a project, back it all up on an external drive and free up the space on my computer's drive. How do i delete all the render cache once I'm done with a project? I assume exporting the .DRA file to the external drive first is a good start.

Is there a good way to do this so that I don't see archived projects that no longer reside on my laptop drive unless I want to restore? And more importantly delete the cached files and media files for that project off the drive to recover space. How about a video about that?

Thank you for this video. I have a few questions. When you upgrade to version 17 can you work on any of your projects that you created in version 16? Also I have a folder that was created when I installed v 16 that is named "Resolve Project Backups" and it contains a bunch of folders labeled with a string of numbers and letters and inside those folders are more files labeled with a string of just numbers. What are these files? How could I tell which video they are connected with? Then there is another location shown in the Project Manager that has a hidden folder : Library ▸ Application Support ▸ Blackmagic Design ▸ DaVinci Resolve. Should you leave this location alone? This is so confusing about DataBases and making sure where they go and what they mean and if you can work on a project created in v16 when you upgrade to v17.
