Resolve Clean Install Process for Mac
Note: This process is NOT for App Store Resolve.
If you are using a Resolve Studio activation key, make sure to de-activate the license first, if you can (In the Resolve Help menu).
After this clean install process, you'll need to enter your activation key again. Make sure you have the activation key available. If you are using a dongle, then this would not apply.
Start by uninstalling Resolve, with the Uninstall selection in the DaVinci Resolve folder in the Mac Applications folder.
Next, in Finder, rename the /Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve folder to DaVinci Resolve.bad
Then rename the /Library/Preferences/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve folder to DaVinci Resolve.bad
Note: This folder may not exist, depending on what the oldest version of Resolve that has been installed on the system is. If this folder doesn't exist, ignore this step.
Note: the following folders are hidden folders.
To see hidden files and folders in Finder, press the <CMD> and <SHIFT> and <.> (period) keys simultaneously.
Then rename the /Users/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve folder to DaVinci Resolve.bad (Where USERNAME is your Mac user name)
Then rename the /Users/USERNAME/Library/Preferences/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve folder to DaVinci Resolve.bad
After all the folder renaming above, install Resolve again.
After you've run the installer, launch Resolve and the onboarding video will run, then the Quick Setup option, which you should do, then hopefully Resolve runs again.
If you are installing Resolve Studio, and were using an activation code, you'll be prompted to re-enter it here.
