Full Screen Window with Project Name

PostWed Apr 07, 2021 7:55 am

This is a bit of a strange request.

I've recently switched over to Davinci Resolve and absolutely love what it does. I use a time-logger software (ManicTime) to keep track of the files I have open for when I do my invoicing but I found that when Davinci Resolve is in Full Screen Window mode (which I much prefer) it doesn't use the project name which means my logging software only see the title 'Davinci Resolve by Black Magic Design'. If I have the program in Windows mode it has the title 'Davinci Resolve Studio - Project Name' which is great to help me with my invoices.

Is there a way for the Full Screen Window mode to have the same title structure as the Windows mode?

Thanks. :)

I'm not aware of any user options for this.

Is that software based on OCR? You could try a (temporary) burn-in then.
Otherwise I don’t know a feature for this.

No. The software is literally just a file logger that keeps a record of all files I have active during the day and stores them to a database. It usually captures the title information of any file I open. It works fine when Davinci Resolve is in the standard Windows mode because it displays the project name when it opens it up. But full screen mode doesn't capture the project details.
