Ordinarily, the Project Manager is the first window you’ll see when DaVinci Resolve starts up. It’s a convenient, centralized browser for creating, organizing, and managing all of your projects. Unlike other applications that rely on your file manager for organizing projects, DaVinci Resolve requires you to do most project organization in the Project Manager.

Project Manager
If you’ve already opened a project, you can reopen the Project Manager at any time by clicking the Home button at the bottom right-hand corner of the DaVinci Resolve window, in the Page Navigation bar. If you’ve hidden the Page Navigation bar at the bottom of the DaVinci Resolve window, you can open the Project Manager by choosing File > Project Manager.
