Amazing, thanks. I am so glad that i switched to davinci a couple of weeks ago. Stil learning. Davinci handles a lot of things different than other apps, but i think it is actually very clever

Welcome to the pack. Me too, I switched to DaVinci around a month ago. But as i see it, some stuff is just great and amazing, but lots of stuff just simply drives me crazy in negative way.

That was absolutely the best tutorial of the project manager I’ve seen. As a new user who just switched from Final Cut Pro to Davinci Resolve Studio this was incredibly helpful. Looking forward to viewing more of your Davinci videos.

Final Cut Pro… Yucky! 😂 And now welcome to the club.

Really informative and highly useful as usual. Thanks Alex.

Thank you, Alex, for a great video. As a starter in DaVinci Resolve, this really gave me a lot of insight into things I didn't know yet. Lots of useful things I will use in/with my projects from now on. Thanks again!

Thanks Alex! I just started a channel a few weeks ago and since then I have probably watch more than a dozen of your videos, some more than once lol. Very informative and have dug me out of a jam several times. I'm enjoying Resolve so much I actually just upgraded to Studio. Beyond happy with the software and videos like yours make it very easy to learn. As someone who has no experience with video/audio editing and no experience with a KZread channel, your videos have been a tremendous help. Thanks again.

I forgot how to do a project archive. It's a great tip, just what I needed a good reminder. Thanks 👍 😊

Excellent! Very thorough and covering exceptionally useful features. Thanks!

Another great video, Alex. You present info in such a wonderful, helpful way - concise, easily understood, no fluff. Thank you!

Thank you. A great series.

Great overview, so much I didn't know. Thanks!

Such a useful tutorial! Thank you.

Really well explained! Thank you for posting this tutorial.

Fantastic! I particularly liked that last section on Project Archives. I never knew about that, and I've sometimes had trouble finding the project files to re-link media. This makes it So much easier as I have to store several projects on external HDs.

Excellent summary of the various ways to manage projects and libraries. Very useful!!!

Thanks - your explanation always very easy to understand and follow,

Thanks Alex, learn something new from you every week. Seems like I take a break from every video I edit to jump on your channel and figure out a better way to do things. Keep up the great vids.

I'm old, Dynamic Project Switching really impressed me. Thanks Alex

Brilliant as usual. Cool stuff.Thank you Alex.

Always useful to watch the tutorials. Great educational style and practical. If more KZreadrs were to follow your format, the world would be a better place.

Thanks for this video, even though I‘m working with Davinci for more than 2 years. First of all it helps to remember things you forgot and second I learned something new: switching between 2 projects. Your tutorials are helpfull every time.

Amazing Alex, as usual

This is great Alex. I was looking for this info and could not figure out how to reorganize my projects and libraries. I had projects in the wrong library and wanted the "series" projects all in the same properly named library. I created new libraries under the proper name and moved the projects into them and cleaned up the old ones. Yippee!!!

Excellent Video. I now have my Mac and PC sharing the same project library that is stored on OneDrive and connected to both platforms.

Great video as usual. Can't believe I missed the backup database option and was exporting individual projects.

Quite a frilly Thumbnail you had there. 🤣 No matter how long I keep playing with Resolve, I still learn stuff from your Tutorials. Thankfully you make it so easy to never have to read the Manual, because its HUGE! 😀

Great video!

Holy shit! I know, I should have figured this out by just spending a few seconds clicking around instead of just opening the recent project right away. But I always thought: what a weird way to access your stuff by just dumping everything into one big folder! lol, the library structure was closed and I didn't know you could create different libraries and folders and stuff. I use Resolve irregularly for fun and then just work on one or two projects. This definitely cleaned up my mess A LOT!! Thanks man :D

Excellent!!!

I must say Alex, you have a true gift and it has improved over the years! Thank you. Your *concise* 😉explanation here was eye opening. It seems that DR matures faster than some of us folk in absorbing the new while continuing to "struggle" with the previous improvements installed. As a serious hobbyist the time available to me is not what it used to be. Your efforts have been very rewarding to many and especially to me. In the future, unless I've missed it previously, can you dig into the WHY and WHEN one would use Local vs Network vs Cloud and WHERE the best locations to place files (especially since DR has the new preference of "PROJECT MEDIA" Location (Project Media), plugins, and the like. I wish you continuing success - Bravo Zulu @MrAlexTech

I need to stop using certain professional editing software and learn davinci resolve and this video has really helped with "step 1". Thanks!

Thank you very much I really like your videos

Alex, love your content and personality! I reckon it would be good if you Casey perhaps did a community poll to try and understand the percentages of your audiences. Beginners, versus intermediate, advanced etc so that you can get the videos in the ideal ratios. (Which they may well already be!) I suspect there are a lot of beginners (and people who have switched) but as someone who has watched basically every video of yours 😂...struggling to find new stuff. (I am by no means advanced though!) I guess there is always Patrick boy who covers some geeky fusion pieces though. Keep up the good stuff. Cheers.

Thanks!

Another great video for helping us all out, Thank you Alex,

I’m not sure what blew me away more, the educational content of this video … or the bird sitting on a pig in the pool. Either way, both are great.

Thanks again Alex. Obrigado mais uma vez Alex. Greetings from Brazil. Saudações do Brasil.

Oh my goodness that had me do a rewind several times 😂

Hi Alex, thanks for your share. I am going to format my computer, do you have a vdo to teach how to back up the contents of power bin? Thanks

Good video. I knew about 50% of this… Good to know the rest of it!

I've just started a darts channel about a month ago and pretty much all my editing has been done from your davinci tutorials. Thankyou for great work!! Just have a quick question about making a scoreboard for cricket in darts, whether you do it in the fusion section or import one from canva or somewhere?

Alex, Great tutorial! If you keep your media/assets on removable drive, can you store your project file in the folder with all your other elements or is it best to put all all project files in a library folder separately? Should project files/library stay on your hard drive or is a removal drive an acceptable location? Thanks for your great instructional videos!

As always, a great video. I already knew most of it, but you just explain it so wonderfully well. What was new to me was "Copy Project Settings". That should make my life a bit easier in the future! :) What I'm wondering: I often have a lot of data in my project (B-Roll). I often only use 5 seconds of a 2 minute clip with 900GB, for example. If I save all of this via a backup with Project Archive, I have copied a huge amount of unused data. Is there a way of backing up only the parts of the clip that you have used? I mean, I saw this somewhere, but I can't find the video anymore. It would be super cool if you could save it all in one go, just with the (partially) used clips, without saving the whole clip, most of which was not used.

Good grief! It took me a minute - but time is all I had, since I've been dead in the water trying to fix my mess! Thank you Alex! I've taken plenty of notes, for the inevitable next time I create an issue. Hehe😅

Hi Alex, since you have the ears of Davinci Resolve, please can you tell them to fix the importing the xml files from Pluraleyes or any xml files for that matter

It's worth noting that importing a project archive doesn't actually copy the media (unless I'm doing it wrong), so if you archive to an external drive you'll need to copy that archive folder to your machine or leave the external drive connected. If you back up from PC and import to Mac, you'll have folders like c_drive and d_drive in the archive to denote where those files initially came from.

In .Dra file we will get two things. one is Drp file ( project file ) and second is mediafles folder in which all the media will be copied.

Thanks Alex, I've just been recommended your channel. I am fairly new to Davinci but I've battled through editing and colour grading, to a degree, however, project management is a mystery. Davinci must have been putting the Proxy and Cache files somewhere but I have no idea where. I have watched another channel dealing with starting a project and using the Project manager along with fixing the project settings. He explained how to deal with the Proxy files so that their location is known and can be deleted to save space when the project is finished. Sadly his explanation was very confusing so I am not really any wiser. How do you recommend dealing with the Proxy/Cache files. You may have dealt with this topic before so if you could direct me to the right location I would be very grateful. Regards

helpfull 👍

Awesome video! Did have a question. I come from premiere, and i loved how easy it was to edit one project on multiple computers. Like going from my desktop to a laptop. I constantly edit from both. Is there a seamless way to do this other than exporting the project every single time?

Cool.

Maybe I missed it, but you talked about networks a little but didn't explain much. So, for example, suppose I have an upstairs and a downstairs Davinci computer. Sometimes I want to edit upstairs, and sometimes downstairs. Both computers share a network. How should I save my projects so that I can read and write to the network? I also read somewhere that two people can work on the same project at the same time if on a network. Can you elaborate please?

quick question, I have the option to restore a project from a multiple users list on davinci 18 but not 17. I'm trying to restore the user list on 17 but cannot seem to find the option

bro I can see the grid in you glasses haha

As always mate, clearly laid out and taught. Out of interest, can you back up a project, actually I mean, archive, and just keep the media you've used without bringing all the other media?

All we need is more and more storage space. The rest will be covered by Alex. 😊

Although I seldom use DR & would scarcely need these functions it is so refreshing to watch someone as talented explain the intricacies of such a vast, complicated tool. Watch a master chef prepare a dish. It looks so easy. Watch an experienced pilot land an aircraft. It looks so easy. Just try it pilgrim. Alex makes it looks so easy because he has mastered DR and he's brilliant.

Cringe 😬 comment.

Hey. I went from the free version to the studio version. Before I did, I backed up all my projects on the free version, but now I can't get them to restore on the studio version. Please help 🙏🏾

Very useful - especially about backups (which I don't do and I really should start!) Completely unrelated note about copy/paste of clips ... If I copy a clip from just about anywhere - same timeline, different timeline, (different project) - I have no problem with paste attributes, which is very useful, but what about when I actually want to paste the copied clip? I can duplicate a clip/clips using alt+mouse-drag-dop. But what if - for some reason (as happens very occasionally) I want to paste my copied clip on the timeline? "Hit paste or ctrl*V", i hear you say! But it's not so easy. If I do that, where will the pasted clip appear and why? I've tried to do this, and seem to be completely unable to control where the pasted clip will decide to appear. There has to be some governing factors - do you know? Maybe enough material for a two minute Friday?

For some reason, copying and pasting in the project manager has never worked for me. I can cut and paste no problem, and I can use the button at the top to dupliacte a project, but I can't ctrl+c/ctrl+v or right-click copy right-click paste. Doesn't work. Strange bug, but not a big deal.

So i have an i5 with 32gigs of ram and an rx6600, you'd reckon the program would run but does it start? no. So i googled reasons and solutions, found supposed solutions, didn't work. But the more i googled the more i saw many many people have the issue of this program not running in Windows. What can we do about this other than buy mac?

Does it give you an error message? or does it just not run? or does it start on then get stuck on the boot screen? I've run it on probably 6/7 different Windows devices over the years without issue.

​@@MrAlexTech thanks for such a quick reply :). On the very first install it gave me the intro wizard asking if i had preferences like adobe workflow and it did a check that said my system was fine but my graphics card (rx6600) was not up to par (??? say what?!) and at the end of the wizard that was my final experience with the software as it never run anything again so also no errors. I tried all the suggestions from their site + yt (which there are many, thats saying something to me) but none helped. Even checked the bios if my intergrated graphics were still partially active or something which they weren't. I would say it's a mystery but after reading the coments of all the yt vids it's kinda not really? I hope someone with actual coding/creating experience can help me/us out.

Progect Manager sucks! When you open DaVincA the Project Manager has an "Open" button in right lower corner. When you open the PM when you work on timeline, there's no "Open" button, only "Close", to open a project then you have to double click a project. Weird!
