Use this workflow every time you work on a DaVinci Resolve Project to create a backup project.
File > Export Project.
|  | |
|---|---|---|
| You will have to save first before exporting |  | |
Choose a place to save the file in this case we are using the tempstorage drive. click Save
|  Tick all the boxes and save anywhere you want. It basically creates a contained file with all relevant material (these files can be quite big, one for me was 80MB). |  |
| Export is finished successfully |  | |
Copy this DRP file onto your new computer. then in the Project Manager make a new project timeline (create a folder first if you want, such as Music Videos or such for organisation). Right click inside it and select import and navigate to your exported project file save. It will then basically copy and paste all material to your DaVinci's default scratch disk (unless you moved it prior). Alternatively you can open a new fresh project timeline then File > Import Project. |  | |
| Click on Media Tab |  | |
| Go to >File>Import Project |  | |
Go to your .drp file
click OPEN |  | |
| Quit >Resolve |  | |
| Open Resolve again |  | |
| Open your project that should show media offline since you moved computers and or hard drives |  | |
| Go to Media Tab |  | |
| select all the offline files and choose Relink Selected Clips |  | |
| Choose the location of the files and click on 'Open |  | |
| All the clips will relink |  |
