Jason, You are a master at teaching. Thank you

[lesportautrement]

Cool your series on project management. Indeed, regularly unloading my work disk to an external archive disk, refashioning the links with the media and also exporting projects for backup, I followed with interest your tutorials on the subject because yes they deserve to be studied. Moreover, I have no problem when DVR crashes, I must have the right settings because it’s incredible I find my work where I left it!

Jason, always helpful tutorials. When you copy your project file with the media files, does it copy just the media associated with the time-line or does it copy all media, even unused media clips as well? Thanks for all the helpful advice! Your enthusiasm is appreciated!

DRP can be attached to an EMail But you'll need to use a (LARGE FILE TRANSERVICE) like Drop Box , I use Google Drive.

Hi! I wanted to ask if you could do a video about how to make a "vintage radio" voice over effect, like those 50's speaker distortion, i'd need it for a personal project, but I'm still a beginner with davinci resolve and I only trust your videos.
Thank you and cheers from Italy!

Is there a way to update an existing project to conform with one you've been sent/given, if it's got new media, outside of using the cloud? I do a short, weekly 'coming up this week' video. I'd like to be able to send the project to someone else for them to do it if I'm on holiday, and then pick back up with the updated version.

What's the best way to work between your computer and iPad? Is there a way to have the same project file saved in both the Davinci for desktop and the one for iPad so I can seamlessly move between the two? Thanks

Hi Jason. Great info. When I export the project archive there is media that is offline. It has worked in the past but now it happens all the time. I started using an external SSD drive. Can you set the search entire hard drive for offline media function to only search on the external drive? Could this be happening because too long file names? It's mostly still images. Worked fine in the past. Some say there is a bug in the latest version as I have read about this on reddit.

How about a Video on using BMD's DaVinci Resolve's collaboration, each artist can work on the same project, in their own dedicated page with the tools they need.
Even better a Tatorial on how to be able to watch another person (STUDENTS') computer screan and show/tell them how to accomplish a task. i.e. either take control and do/show them oe see their screen and explain what to do to accomplish the task at hand. I learn much better by repeatedly acomplishing a task where someone keeps me from making mistakes and then getting all confuesed fixing mistakes rather than learnibng, like when watching a tutorial and make a wrong key strok and find out farther things aren't worrking as showen in the tutorial. Happens often when your memoury fail in 15 seconds. CRS (Can't Remeber Schit)

How do you move a Project with multipul time lines from one Library (DATA BASE to a newer one with out creating duplicate Files/Clips on your SSD.HDD?
I have 5TB of storage and 7 Librarys/Data bases and from 41 Projects with motipul Time Lines to 2 DB's with 7 Projects each.

So I just got my Mac mini m1 16gig 1tb ssd. This my 1st time on Mac, should I work off of a ssd external hard drive or the Mac mini itself? Also can I send power bins as well? Because I set up power bins on my old lap and I didn't want to redo everything again.

Can you please make a video on how to do that zoom-in effect you use for your tutorials? The effect is where you zoom in and focus on a specific part of the frame, but the rest of the frame is darkened and blurred out. I can't seem to find a video tutorial anywhere on YouTube.

[sukafonek]

every time I import and select the .drp file it pops up unable to import project do you know what to do

[juststeve]

How about, as I found recently, exporting your entire library to a new machine and restoring it, but your videos are in a different path on the new machine? The only way I found to export the entire library of projects was to use DB backup and restore, and then copy my video directory over manually.
I ended up correcting the path in each project, one at a time, it's slowly driving me insane!

[kioze]

May I ask how am I suppose to transfer the recordings?

[juliusherberg]

is this working for DaVinci to premiere as well?
