Boy i wanted to move on from this. I had gotten my databases restored and had gone back to work. Then i moved my external HD to the desktop and found that the exact same project was an older version. I mean how is that even possible?
Same drive, same media, same database, same project filename. Older version of project on desktop, current version on laptop. 2 different versions of the exact same project. Everything on the hard drive.
Per the community I exported a DRP file off the laptop and imported the DRP into the desktop machine. So I got an updated version. But now I have an older and current project version on the desktop and a current version on the lap top?? All within the same database.
Am I the only one that sees the media management mess this creates?
I cant even begin to fathom how this works, how can you get an older version of a project on your desktop mac and the current version on the laptop. wow....Ill jsut reiterate that the deeper i get into this the more apparent it becomes that Resolve is jus tnot built to be a mobile NLE.
Lots of great ideas on how to make this work better so appreciate everyone thoughts. Hopefully BM will address soon in a future update. I just cant see how this system works better then any other NLE.

Besides that, Resolve could both leave the DB the way it is and open and save to drp files. Doesn't matter to the user if Resolve is internally using the DB. What matters is that the "normal" File/Open and File/Save commands are available for operating on projects. There are a few other pathways - like backups - to get right but that's pretty obvious as well. No need for huge code churn, higher prices, and years of instability.
this is the best idea ive heard yet.... thanks Joe! Make resolve normal!!
@Shrinivas Appreciate you jumping into the conversation but after doing some research it looks like shared project libraries are server based. And thats not going to solve the issue here.
Maybe theres a workflow here im missing but I think its something BM has to explain in greater detail. Preferably on the youtube channel. Maybe the cloud based databases are a better solution......
but can anyone explain how i have the same databases, media files, project names etc, but the project is in a completely different state depending on which machine I plug into?
