Multi_editor setup & automated used font detection on open

PostSat Jan 30, 2021 12:49 pm

After some unsuccessful searches, I ended up asking this from here and see if someone else already tackle this issue.

We have multi editor setup for DaVinci where we work on our projects over the common PostgreSQL databases (from NAS in 10GbE LAN). Problem is that where editors use inside of projects fonts locally from their computers and currently when the next editor is opening the same project again he don`t get a notification if fonts used on that project are not currently installed on his/her machine.

An optimum solution would be that Resolve could include used fonts inside of the project database, but we don`t expect that to happen anytime soon. Therefore we were thinking to create our own script to do a check (when opening the project) on used fonts inside of the project (we believe this information is still inside of a project database somewhere) and compare those fonts to locally installed fonts, then prompting a message to the user when the font match is not found.

So do anyone knows where we could find detailed documentation on how to retract information out from the Resolve databases? After some google searches, we couldn't find such information easily, but it might be that our search keywords were not the correct ones.

The DB is not user accessible. We recommend putting the same fonts on every machine or list those that your editors can use if you have a limited use set.
