The Project Manager provides an in-application interface for creating, renaming, and deleting projects. Many of these commands exist within the contextual menu that appears when you right-click the background of the Project Manager.
— To create a new project: Double-click the Default Project icon, or click the New Project button at the bottom of the window. A new project is created, and DaVinci Resolve opens up the Media page. Once a project is open, you can alter its project settings by clicking the gear icon.
— To open a previously saved project: Double-click any Project icon, or Item if you’re in List view. You can also select a project and click the Open button.
— To open a project in Read-Only Mode: Right-click a Project icon or Item, and choose Open in Read Only Mode. This lets you open a project without danger of altering it. If you make changes, you can use the Save As command to save a new copy of the project with a new name.
— To rename a project: Right-click a Project icon or Item, choose Rename, and type a new name in the dialog that appears, clicking OK when you’re finished.
— To load project settings from another project to the currently open project: Right-click a Project icon or Item (other than the currently open project), and choose “Load Project Settings to Current Project.” This lets you change a project’s settings prior to opening it in cases where the project settings are causing some kind of problem that prevents you from opening the project.
— To update the thumbnails of a project in the Project Manager: Right-click any project, and choose “Update Thumbnails.”
NOTE: You cannot move or delete the currently open or loaded project.
