If you restore a project it will try to link the media where it was before. If that has changed then you’ll need to relink them. This was the case with FCP 7 as well.

Life’s too short to start caring about things you have no power over. If I could work with a venue to make sure that things are even semi-in order then yeah. Otherwise: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Generate some black video, crop it/mask it from the middle and add it on the topmost track.

Your sequence should be set at what frame rate you’re delivering the final work.

The database has all projects that are in the exported database. A project file is that one project only. Archive is a project file plus the media used in the project.
Also instead of guessing you could check out the manual.

The database and the project file do not include the media used in the project. If you want the media you’ll want to use archive or copy/trim the used project media and export a separate project file.

Well that can be done and has been done before eg. The Revenant and Birdman but one would need a bunch of money and assistants for that. Soft tracked powerwindows work pretty well for color work where keys don’t work.

Keying is isolating a certain color range. If that range changes from the original selection then the key won’t work. Then you’ll need to use some other technique to isolate what you need.

[ryan elder] “I know about the saturation and the hues, just not sure how to get the program to perform tracking the skin color from frame to frame.”
I have no idea what your footage looks like but if your key is not holding then there’s probably some lighting or hue changes on the skin that are changing over time. Then you’d be better of by isolating your areas with powerwindows.

Adobe, Apple, Assimilate, Autodesk, Avid, Blackmagic Design, Digital Vision, Filmlight, SGO et al are not responsible for your color pipeline. They do not know what kind of displays, gear or delivery requirements the user has. You are (or if you have someone else on payroll that knows about this subject) responsible for your color pipeline. Even if you have a program that uses the system profiles to change between color spaces you need to verify that what you’re viewing is correct. Even if you’re only editing and you see color changes that are because of the monitor.
[Shane Ross] “Resolve’s built in display is far from accurate.”
You could make a separate calibration LUT for it to get it closer. There will still be the usual problems one might have like wrong levels in the GPU settings and OS switching your ICC profiles after updates etc. I just use a black and white viewer LUT because clients want to stare at the GUI screen where things are happening instead of the reference.
