Lesson 16
Managing Media
and Databases
Unlike almost all other editing, audio
mixing, or color grading software, DaVinci
Resolve uses an industry-standard
database to store all of your projects, bins,
clips and timelines-basically any item that is
not an audio or video media file is kept in
the database. As a result, DaVinci Resolve
works a little differently from other apps
when you want to move projects from one
system to another or create backups of
your projects. It is not any harder to do
those things, and in some cases it can be
a lot easier. But it is different.
In this lesson, you will explore ways to
back up and move projects and media,
as well as learn how to manage the
DaVinci Resolve database.
