Resolve Locks Up When Opening Project

I was almost done with a project and I went into Fusion and tried to move the point tracker icon. Resolved locked up and I eventually had to force quit it. Now I cannot open up this project because it locks up Resolved. Unfortunately, I was not aware of the Back and I don't have one. Is there any hope?

What version of Resolve are you actually using? Resolve 12.5 doesn't have Fusion included.

Are you on Mac or Windows?

Open a Finder window.

In the /Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/Resolve Disk Database/Resolve Projects/Users/guest/Projects folder, you should see a folder with the name of the project you are trying to recover.

Zip that folder, put it on a file sharing site, and provide a link to the zip file, either here or in a PM.

We'll see if the project can be recovered.

Dwaine, did you get my link sent in the private messages? Was there any hope?

Yes I did, and I responded on Friday.

Your project works fine here. I sent you a link to a project export .drp file and asked you to import that, to see if it worked any better.

Unfortunately, it still does not open. It now gets to 100% but won't go any farther. Before it would only get to 92%. I check my RAM and CPU in the activity monitor and did not see anything maxing out.

I downloaded Resolve again and installed. It works!
