Managing Media and Databases

The Media Manager manages clips, timelines, and bins.

What operations can be performed on selected media in the Media Manager?

When archiving a project from the Project Manager, what files are being exported?

A DRA (DaVinci Resolve Archive) folder is created which contains only the project media. The project metadata needs to be exported seperately.
A DRP (DaVinci Resolve Project) format file is being exported which includes the project settings and all media.
A DRA (DaVinci Resolve Archive) folder is created which containes both the project media and a DRP file with the project metadata.

Where can you view the databases that are connected to DaVinci Resolve?

In the upper left of the Project Manager, click the Databases sidebar button.
You cannot view databases in Resolve. Databases can only managed by system administrators via console tools.
In the Database Manager.
In the DaVinci Resolve Preferences under User -> My Databases

It is best practice to create a new database for every new project.
