I can't use resolve

PostThu Jan 14, 2021 9:14 am

Back then before I changed my directory names to a new one I could use it but now ever since I changed it the local database is gone. I don't really care about my previous projects all I really want is to be able to use resolve once more please help

Yes.

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

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. ;)
