DaVinci Resolve Project Server

Introduction

This guide is designed to assist you in connecting to the DaVinci Resolve Server. It's important to note that this server is distinct from the SMB File Server.

Step-by-Step Guide

Accessing the DaVinci Project Library through the Resolve Server

Network Setting:

Begin by being on the network setting in the main open folder when you start the software.

Add Project Library:

Within this section, you have two primary actions: 'Connect' and 'Create'.

Connect (For Existing Projects):

If you need to access an already established project (e.g., remote access from a different location):

Click 'Add Project Library', then go to the 'Connect' tab.

Here, you can access pre-made folders, such as WSP INTERVIEWS, created on 192.168.1.254

By selecting 'Connect', you will onboard all the projects, including those for future months (e.g., December 2023). Create (For New Projects):

Create (For New Projects):

To create a new folder for projects that haven't been done before (e.g., daylight session, showcase, or a completely new project):

Go under the 'Create' tab after selecting 'Add Project Library'.

Name the new folder, adhering to the naming conventions (preferably in all caps).

Crucial: Set the location to 192.168.1.254 to ensure that the new project library is created on the Resolve server.

By following these steps, you can effectively log into the DaVinci Resolve Server and manage your projects. If you encounter any issues or have questions, please don't hesitate to reach out for support.
