    Posted by Pat Wintersgill on November 25, 2011 at 11:23 am

    Hi everyone,

    I’m a long time reader, first time poster 🙂

    I’ve migrated to the Resolve 8.1 from Quantel’s iQ and I think it’s fantastic.

    However I fired her up this morning and realised I can’t save any projects. I get “Failed to Save Project” on all of them.

    Repairing permissions didn’t fix it, and I’m worried that re-installing the software might endanger my projects. I’m in the middle of four and haven’t delivered any of them yet!

    Any advice or wisdom would be gratefully received.

    Best,

    Hi there,

    Did you backup your database first..?

    I m having the same problem,
    I cant load any projects and the new one I cant save it.

    I cant even backup my database, and I m in the middle of 4 jobs.

    Any suggestion would be helpful.

    Try to get in touch with Rohit at Blackmagic Design, he’s a legend and will sort you out.

    Good luck!
