So I want to 'revert to saved' because undo doesn't do anything but nope, it just saves everything I did so yeah effed. Live save effed me several times in the past year, because it was enabled again automatically. In regards to preventing eff-ups like the OP, At the end of a day I always export the project to a different disk as extra working backup and add the date to the file name to keep a backup of every day. It would be rather painful to retrieve those shots from the latest backup. The main reason I disabled Live Save, is that on a very complex project I'm working on, Live Save would cause a short 'freeze' after every edit due the large size of the file.Īnother reason is that it also saves after a cut, and if it crashes after that, the cut shots are gone from the project because a save has been done before pasting. I think the Live Save concept is great, but it should save to a different 'live save' project file.

And you need to know to right-click on the active project and choose "Project Backups" to do so if you lose work to a crash it won't prompt you that you have a backup like some other software will.

Note that if you need to restore from a project backup, you have to give the project a new name - a bit like when you Import a DRP file. So project backups aren't affected by live save, and live save isn't affected by project backups. I think it actually creates a new project database for every backup saved, so each separate backup is its own database with a single project in it. Project Backups periodically creates a copy of the project at the current state (including any unsaved changes) in a separate database in a different location.

Live Save (and manual save) updates the active project in the active project database. Or is it an entirely independent thing? It's independent.

I gave my opinion about it here, with points of view from others, and why it should go back to be OFF by default and let those who want : That's fine if it's just an option to activate. Yeah, there is NO reason to have this feature turned ON by default, it was OFF in the other versions. Of course, I did not want to loose the grade of the other 95 shots, so I DID NOT hit "save" thinking, almost logically, that I will just render these things and then will close the app without saving.Īh well - Davinci was too smart to let me think I am smarter.Ī "live save" feature? Its like I do not have my own brains to know when I need to save manually?Īnd why was it turned ON, without even asking me? So I open the project, and as I need to only export 5 shots out of the whole sequence, it seemed easy to just delete everything else and leave only these 5 shots in the sequence. Then the client wanted to change the colors of only 5 of the shots. Emilian Dechev wrote:I just graded a big project with around 100 shots.
