Lesson 3
Organizing a New Project
Configuring essential settings
When you started the project in the lesson 1, you didn’t configure any settings at all. In fact,
you even didn’t give your project a name until the end of the lesson. That project was
designed to skip the sometimes dry project setup tasks and jump right into the fun stuff.
Now you’ll take a step back and correctly set up a new project. To do so, let’s return to the
project manager.
1 If DaVinci Resolve is closed, open the application to get to the Project manager. If
DaVinci Resolve is already open, choose File > Project manager, or press Shift-1.
The project manager opens with a thumbnail that represents the project you created
in the previous lesson. You’ll create a new project in this exercise.
2 At the bottom of the project manager, click the New Project button.
3 In the Create New Project dialog that appears, enter the project name My New Project ,
and click Create.
The new project opens in the edit page.
TIP If the Quick to Cook project is open when you create the new project,
the cut page will be displayed. Switch to the edit page to begin this project.
