Restoring Deleted Timeline

[Marc Wielage]

Did you export a backup copy of the project? The deleted timeline should still exist in that project.

I’m paranoid enough that I save backup DRPs every single day (sometimes twice a day if it’s supervised and I get a lunch break), and I try to backup the Project Database once a week. It’s rare I delete anything and have to do a restore, but it has happened.

Thanks for the reply Marc – I’ve never done a manual backup, no, I have Time Machine backups and I’m used to Premiere’s approach where the archives are there in the background waiting to be accessed if needs be. I’m learning it isn’t that straightforward with Resolve – it seems I can’t even access a previous save of the project on the Time Machine disk, which is baffling me.

I’m assuming I’ve lost that timeline, which is incredible. Time to set up some auto-saves…

Thanks again.
