Changing A User Password
Change your user password by simply selecting your User Icon to make it active and then the
‘Change Password’ button. In the Changed User Password window enter your old and new passwords
and confirm.
Multiple Database Support
DaVinci Resolve works from an internal database server so it’s possible to have multiple databases for
maximum flexibility in organizing your projects. You can create a database for each year, or whatever
timeframe you desire. Keeping the database size small makes loading and saving faster.
Facilities with multiple systems can implement a shared Remote Database Server.
Selecting the Database
You don’t need to do or know anything about databases to use DaVinci Resolve. It’s all set up for you
when you install the software.
To make a database your active working database, click the ‘Database Manager’ button on the Login
screen. Select a database from the list and confirm with the Select button. This database will now
be used for saving all new projects. The other databases that are connected, the internal and also
remote databases, will continue to appear in the list and you can import projects from those databases.
However when you save a project, regardless of its origin, it will save into the active working database
you selected.
