You can do that now from the Home screen.
It's not a bad idea for backups and archiving.
But I think the current Database method of project storage offers benefits that other NLE's like Avid and Premiere Pro can't replicate.
If they could add the ability to choose it would be great.
IE: When creating a new project a checkbox - "Project Files Location":
*Let Resolve Handle This
*Let Me Choose
Devs, I understand that that Resolve probably needs to sort files in it's own folder structure, but most DAWS simply handle this by having the program create them in the specified top folder. For example you create a folder for the song, then when creating the project in the DAW it asks where to save, and you point it to that folder. Then when you view that folder you will find "Audio", "Waveform Images" etc subfolders that the DAW has created for it's housekeeping.
I do understand that the professional community has the standard practice they're used to. But with the editor addition, Black Magic appears to be expanding the user base to us YouTubers and wedding folk etc. who will probably make up 98% of the user base once everyone comes over from Adobe, (and we are) so I see this becoming a hot topic.
I'm not asking to change it, just add the option to decide.
Hopefully we'll see something like this in Ver 16 which I'm
very excited to have a look at
