— To save the current state of your project as a copy with a new name, choose File > Save Project As (Command-Shift-S), then enter a name into the Save Current Project window and click Save. If you chose to save as the same name as an existing project, a dialog box will appear allowing you to confirm if you want to overwrite the existing project or to cancel out and choose another name.
As you work on your project, the word “Edited” appears to the right of the project name at the top of the DaVinci Resolve UI to let you know that you have unsaved changes. If you don’t save in over 15 minutes, the word “Edited” turns yellow, and if you still don’t save in over 30 minutes, it turns red to let you know that you probably should save. If you move the pointer over the word “Edited,” a tooltip appears letting you know when the last save was performed.

DaVinci Resolve also has two auto save mechanisms that you can enable in the Save Settings group of controls, called Live Save and Project Backups.
