Using the Project Manager
Starting with DaVinci Resolve 14, the Project Manager is the only centralized place in which to
manage all your projects and is the first window you’ll see when DaVinci Resolve starts up. It
shows all projects you’ve created, and provides an overall environment in which you create,
organize, import, and export DaVinci Resolve projects.
Project Manager
If you’ve already opened a project, you can reopen the Project Manager at any time by clicking
the Home button at the bottom right-hand corner of the DaVinci Resolve window.

Launching DaVinci Resolve for the First Time?
If you’ve just installed DaVinci Resolve and have opened it for the first time, it’s time to
set the preferences in order to specify your language, scratch disk volume, and
hardware configuration for video and audio I/O and control panels (if you have one).
For more information about setting the preferences in DaVinci Resolve, see Chapter 3,
“System and User Preferences.
Project Management
The Project Manager provides an in-application interface for creating, renaming, and deleting
