Project file disappeared!

PostThu Apr 08, 2021 8:57 am

My project file disappeared inside of the launcher for Resolve 17. I checked inside of the Resolve Disk Database folder and I can see the folder for the project but when I click on it I get a "Location is not available" error message. Additionally I should note that I did change the name of the project earlier inside of the Resolve project launcher and just before the issue started I was working on the project and all sound cut to my headphones specifically. I closed everything and when I reopened Resolve the project was gone.

Please help!

My database is on my main C drive.
I just turned on Backups and Live Saves. So in regards to the project, no, they were not on.

Using the database location as detailed in the FAQs, see if u can find the project in the database folder.

I found it. When I click on it I get an error message saying the location is unknown.
