panic - DR 19 not recognizing project backup

PostWed Apr 16, 2025 12:47 am

I'm on a Mac, and can find my project backup folders in the finder.

Unfortunately I can't get Resolve to connect.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Tell us the name of the thing you’re trying to open. Maybe it’s a database rather than a project. Or vice versa.

Thanks for replying!

It's my project library, which should have six or seven projects in it.

I’d suggest doing a screen video capture of you trying to attach it - preferably with narration - and link to it here. Then we can help.

The Backups are accessed from the Project Manager by right clicking on the project. You don't use them from Finder.
My Biases:

You NEED training.
You NEED a desktop.
You NEED a calibrated (non-computer) display.
