Newb question – Organizing Project List
Hello,
Just curious if there is a way to make folders in the Config tab for my projects to live within for the project list? I have this long list of projects and I would like to be able to categorize them into folders.
thank you in advance for your help.

One database per project, one project per reel, one timeline per edit.
Thats how we roll…A slice of color…

Hey Sacha thank you for the reply,
Just a little confused here by your response…I am coming from the FCP & Color world and still trying to wrap my head around Davinci.
“One database per project, one project per reel, one timeline per edit”.
So i have my user I created and then I have a whole list of projects in the Project List area which I have created (mostly just fxphd classes and a couple test ones attempting fcp xml round trips…can you possibly explain in newbie terms what you mean exactly I am so sorry i feel learning disabled right now – ha!
I wish I could just create a folder and put all the DAV101 class projects I created into that, and then the DAV202 projects into its own folder, FastForward into its, etc. coming from FCP & Color the whole database / reel thing is new to me and I want to get it right!
thank you

Well, I am doing a 24 episode Tv thing now, and it goes through three Resolve stations for Onlining, Grading, VFX I/O, Dailies and Mastering.
That alone is one huuugge DB.
I like to log out and log back in to select the project and backup the single DBs from the server daily.
So every time someone changes something to a newer version, they save a new entry in the DB and I make sure we always the last three in the DB.A slice of color…

To answer Andrews original question, not at the moment. All projects in a database are at the same level.
In Resolve you can manage your work by user account, database, project and session and each facility has their own work practice. Some like everything in one database and have a very long list of projects, some like to start a new DB for each major film or TV series. We even have customers who start a new user every 12 months so archive and recall can be automated.For now my guess is you can start a DB called FXPHD and have all that work there and use another DB for your paid work.

Hey Peter thank you for the reply!
So just curious as to whether I can move all my training projects and put them into a database and make another database for paid work / non-training projects and move those into there proper category? If so exactly how would I do this moving / organizing of these projects I have already created and worked on?
cheers
