  • Where does Resolve save grading projects?

    Posted by Brad Wright on May 31, 2012 at 3:34 pm

    I’m sure this question has been asked before, but I can’t seem to find the answer anywhere. I’m testing out Resolve Lite for my facility, on a Mac Pro, and I can’t seem to figure out where all of the project files are being saved. One of our engineers installed the software, but I have been tasked with configuring it. I see that a database has been set up, with the name Local_DB, but I don’t know the location of the database. Does Resolve have a default database? Since it’s the Lite version, it has to be on the local drive, but where? Even when creating a new database, there is no option to select a specific database location. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

    Resolve uses a postgres installation, the files are all in /Library/Postgres/8.4

    You can refer to postgres documentation for more details!

    Rohit, correct me if I’m wrong but resolve v9 will support a file system project format as well, right?

    Yes, that’s right.

    Actually the folder I’m seeing in my system is /Library/PostgreSQL/8.4. But there doesn’t seem to be any project named files in there. So maybe you can’t extract projects from here.

    I normally right-click on a project in the Config window and select Export+. Then import this resulting .resolve.zip file into another Resolve system. Doing this I’ve transferred projects back and forth between systems.
