Upgraded to 12 - all my projects are gone

PostSun Aug 02, 2015 12:40 am

How do I solve this? I had a feature film in here 90% complete and after upgrading to Resolve 12, it's gone along with the rest of my projects. Can anyone advise?
Thanks!

On the project page, There is an icon on the left side SHOW / HIDE GROUP PROJECTS. Press that button and then the admin user should become visible. Then you click on the ARROW next to the name, and it should show you all your old projects. You'll need to import it into V12 and should be good to go. Hope this helps.

Thanks David.
Unfortunately when I do this, Resolve simply ends up Not Responding. I'm going to leave it overnight and see if it can import the project. If not, can I downgrade to 11 to get my work back?

Yes you can downgrade to Resolve 11. I upgraded this morning and had issues so I have now gone back to Resolve 11 via the website at the bottom.

Going back to 11 though I lost a project. I managed to recover it but all the nodes have now disappeared except 1. The grade is still there but all on 1 node. Strange.

Thanks Lein. I tried to run the installer but it tells me I need to uninstall v12 first - just to be totally sure, when you do this, the database isn't removed, is it?

If you are on Windows, you must uninstall the current version to install an earlier version. Do this in the Windows Programs and Features control panel.

The database is not disturbed by normal Resolve install/uninstall operations.

This might sound harsh but why would you upgrade a software to a beta version in the middle of a big project?
