Shared Database and Locked Projects

If you are using a shared database with other DaVinci Resolve systems some of the projects will have
a lock icon to the left of the project name. A locked project is loaded in read-only mode and changes
must be saved to a new file name. Once a shared project is loaded, it is automatically locked in order
to prevent multiple users from accessing the project at the same time. To unlock the project, login as
Admin and then click on the ‘Unlock’ button.

For large projects that are being worked on in parallel, often the project is split into logical segments
so users can work simultaneously in different suites. For example, a feature film may be split into reels,
or the film separated from the trailer and video press kit. Each segment can use grades from the other
segments as required to keep the shots in balance.
