New user : Where are the programs after installation?

PostWed May 08, 2024 2:52 pm

Hello,
I downloaded the DaVinci_Resolve_18.6.6_Windows installer file. After installation, I only have these 4 programs:
-Blackmagic RAW Player
-Blackmagic RAW Speed Test
-DaVinci Control Panels
-Fairlight Studio Utility
Where are the programs for editing videos?
:?:
Thank you for your help.

Be sure to use an Admin account for this work.

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

On your C drive go to OS/Program Files/Blackmagic Design and open it. Open the DaVinci Resolve folder and scroll down to the Resolve.exe. Right click on it and either select Run as Administrator, or Create a Shortcut and put that on your Desktop.

Thank you very much for your answer. Indeed, it works with the shortcut created in my user account. I still find it surprising that the default installation only shows Resolve in an administrator account. :roll:

THANKS. Indeed, it works as an administrator. Surprising that the default installation only shows Resolve in an administrator account. I created a shortcut from the program following Charles Bennett's advice.
