New User requires HELP with Database...New Project...
Posted: Sat Jun 15, 2019 5:44 am
Recent arrival from Premiere..very experienced editor all things Adobe
My name is Craig Howard (aka shooter NZ on various forums) I come from a professional background.
I am trying to understand Resolve Database system so I can emulate how I project managed in Premiere.
Any assistance appreciated.
My file and project management system is:
I have a dedicated hard drive for PROJECTS eg Premiere Projects, After Effects Projects, PhotoShop Projects...etc
(I also have dedicated drives to O.S, MEDIA, RESOURCE FILES, EXPORTS etc..)
So in PROJECTS Drive I have Folders for every "project" in which the project file is saved as well as "copy as back ups" eg Jobnamexxx.ppj and iterations.
In Premiere I simply created a NEW Project and saved it to the Folder named as per my protocol.
Now I am trying to understand how I setup the Resolve DATABASE to do the above ..on my PROJECTS DRIVE.
Basically...does one Database manage multiple projects? What is the purpose of NEW FOLDERS? What is the purpose of NEW DATABASE?
Meantime..I will continue my research in this matter but hope someone will clarify it for me.
I am probably overthinking something here.

I am still trying to find where the database is saved in my system!!!!
