DaVinci Resolve on Mac systems require three simple hardware items to be configured when you start
the application for the very first time.
Start the application, select the DaVinci Resolve menu, and choose Preferences. The three items to
establish are: the location of your media images; the video capture card, if any; and the type of control
panel that will be connected to your system, if any.
Media Storage Volumes
In the Media Storage Volumes window select the ‘+’ (add) button to add a volume, folder, or mount
point to the list of disk storage for your media. The first location in the storage list will become the
default location for images, all proxies, cached files and gallery stills. This location should have plenty of
storage capacity and be permanently connected to your Mac. Often this is the internal RAID you have
established, but it can be an external drive too.
Click on the ‘-’ (remove) button to remove a volume, folder or mount point from the list of disk storage.
