学习目标LEARNING OBJECTIVES

学完你能说清实时保存（Live Save）是什么、在哪里确认它开着，以及软件崩溃后如何找回工作成果。

概念说明CONCEPTS

实时保存（Live Save）是 Resolve 的自动保存机制：开启后你做的每一步都立即写进项目——不用按任何键，而且它默认就是开的。

  • 从建项目那刻起工作：在 Project Manager 新建项目后，所有更改随操作即时保存。
  • 崩溃断电都不慌：重启 Resolve、重新打开项目（见 项目库），成果就在原地等你。
  • 它不是版本历史：Live Save 只保留"现在"这一个状态，想回退要靠备份。
  • 备份在同一个面板：Timeline Backups 默认每 10 分钟一次；Project Backups 默认关闭，可按需打开。
  • 演示时可以关：教学演示不想存下随手乱试的操作，可在 Preferences 取消勾选，回到手动保存（Cmd-S / Ctrl-S）。

操作步骤STEPS

  1. 打开 DaVinci Resolve > Preferences（快捷键 Cmd-, / Ctrl-,）
  2. 点窗口顶部的 User 标签页
  3. 选择 Project Save and Load 设置组Project Save and Load 设置组
  4. 确认 Live Save 处于勾选状态（默认就是开的）
  5. 顺手确认 Timeline Backups 已开启，备份间隔默认 10 分钟Timeline Backups 备份间隔

练习PRACTICE

  1. 崩溃演习：新建练习项目，拖几段素材进时间线、切两刀，然后强制退出 Resolve（Cmd-Option-Esc）模拟崩溃。
  2. 重启 Resolve 并重新打开这个项目，检查你的操作是不是都还在。

常见问题FAQ

软件崩了，我剪了一下午的东西还在吗？

只要 Live Save 开着，基本都在。重启 Resolve、重新打开项目即可——这就是别关它的理由。

那我是不是永远不用按 Cmd-S 了？

对，Live Save 开启时不需要。手动保存依然可用，按了也没坏处——很多人保留这个习惯求个心安。

开了 Live Save 还需要备份吗？

需要，两者不冲突。Live Save 只保存最新状态；误操作想回退，要靠 Timeline Backups / Project Backups，或定期导出 .drp 文件。

演示时不想把乱试的操作存进项目怎么办？

在 Preferences 的 Project Save and Load 里取消勾选 Live Save，演示完记得勾回来。

After this card you can explain what Live Save is, where to confirm it is on, and how to get your work back after a crash.

Concepts概念说明

Live Save is Resolve's auto-save mechanism: with it on, every action you take is written into the project immediately — no keystroke required, and it's on by default.

  • Working from the moment the project exists: once you create a project in the Project Manager, every change is saved as you make it.
  • Crashes and power cuts don't scare you: restart Resolve, reopen the project (see Project Library), and your work is waiting.
  • It is not version history: Live Save keeps only the "now" state — rolling back needs backups.
  • Backups live in the same panel: Timeline Backups run every 10 minutes by default; Project Backups are off by default and can be enabled.
  • Turn it off for demos: if you don't want experimental fiddling committed while teaching, uncheck it in Preferences and you're back to manual saving (Cmd-S / Ctrl-S).

Steps操作步骤

  1. Open DaVinci Resolve > Preferences (Cmd-, / Ctrl-,)
  2. Click the User tab at the top of the window
  3. Select the Project Save and Load groupThe Project Save and Load group
  4. Make sure Live Save is checked (it is by default)
  5. While you're here, confirm Timeline Backups is enabled — the default interval is every 10 minutesThe Timeline Backups interval

Practice练习

  1. Crash drill: create a practice project, drag a few clips onto the timeline, make a couple of cuts, then force-quit Resolve (Cmd-Option-Esc) to simulate a crash.
  2. Relaunch Resolve, reopen the project, and verify your edits survived.

FAQ常见问题

Resolve crashed — is my whole afternoon of editing gone?

As long as Live Save was on, essentially nothing is lost. Restart Resolve and reopen the project — which is exactly why you shouldn't turn it off.

So do I never have to press Cmd-S again?

Correct — not while Live Save is on. Manual save still works and does no harm; many people keep the habit for peace of mind.

With Live Save on, do I still need backups?

Yes — the two don't conflict. Live Save only preserves the latest state. To undo mistakes or return to an earlier version you need Timeline Backups / Project Backups, or regular .drp exports.

What if I don't want my demo experiments saved into the project?

Uncheck Live Save in Preferences' Project Save and Load group before the demo — and remember to turn it back on afterwards.
