Collaboration?

PostTue Jan 15, 2019 3:24 pm

Can the collaboration be used on the free version of Resolve 15? If it requires Studio, does every machine working on the collaborative project need to have studio?

Thanks,
Ron

It is my understanding that studio is required for any machine that is collaborating.

I'm 99% sure you need Studio, and for in-project collaboration all versions of Resolve need to be identical. For simply using a shared database (not per-project collaboration) I *think* you can be on multiple Resolve versions, though I can't think of a reason not to standardize.

for the actual active collaboration, yes you need studio.

However, with a shared database, if you have (for example) a tv episodic and you have a single project per episode, multiples operator can access the same database and work on multiples projects (one machine per project).

That should work also with the free version. (Not 100% sure if you need the studio to setup the shared environment)

I actually don't think you can use any shared databases on the free version.

You can only use Local Databases with the free version.

Maybe you can hack around this if only one machine is using the free version, by having the [PostgreSQL] database on the machine with the free version installed and then having other machines access it... But it won't be able to access an external database server for project management.
