Blank timeline after opening saved clip

PostSat Mar 20, 2021 1:01 am

Hello guys!
I just few days ago bought and transfered to davinci from FCPX.

I did one project here, but unfortunately when i trying to open it i just saw blank timeline.
Full edited video were saved ~10 times. I saw my sellected clips in media pool, but i cant found my edited timeline with synced 5 camera angles via audio.
Before i closed this after finished my first part of editing work i were able to normally watch edited video with cuts and transistions.

Idk what happend here. Can i fix it and restore my work?

My PC specs:
iMac Pro with catalina, 14 cores and Vega 64

The biggest mistake I made after switching from Premiere Pro was thinking that my previous experience meant I could just jump into a new NLE without difficulty.

Nope.

As a new user, your first course of action should be to complete some Resolve training. The Beginner's Guide and Advanced Editing are an excellent groundwork to get you moving smoothly. ;)

You might have more than one timeline and you are looking at an empty one.
Or, the timeline was deleted.
Above the trimming viewer in the edit page, does the dropdown give you other timeline choices?
