 You have one or more timelines and you want to rename one or more of them.\\
 Select Media view.  See: list of media including timelines.  Click on name of timeline and you can edit/change it.
-====Adjust volume====
-Show waveforms.  You see white line; move line up/down to change volume level of the track.
-To adjust within a track, put cursor on the white line press Alt(option) key and click. This adds a white circle, you can add several, and change volume between them.
+====Adjusting volume====
+You want to adjust the volume of an entire track or a portion of it (to lower volume of a loud speaker or noise or raise volume of a speaker too far from the microphone)
+Here's how to fix this; make sure the audio waveforms are visible.
+  - Using the Blade Edit Tool (B - looks like razor blade), cut the track just before and just after the section needing sound adjustment
+  - Return to the Selection Mode (A) tool
+  - Move the horizontal volume white bar up or down over the target passage as needed to increase or decrease the volume
+Other volume adjustment notes.
+  * Change volume for whole track.
+    * Move the horizontal volume white bar up or down as needed to increase or decrease the volume of the entire track
+  * Change volume for part of a track.
+    * Using selection tool (A) put cursor to left of area needing volume adjustment
+      * //Use the zoom function, Alt(Option)-mouse scroll, to zoom in or out on the timeline//
+    * Put two dots to the left of the area needing adjustment by: put cursor over horizontal white line and press Alt(Option)
+    * Repeat with two dots to the right of the area needing adjustment
+    * Then using Selection tool, drag the horizontal white bar up or down to adjust volume
+(You can see that I prefer the previous 3-step method!)

 You can further refine the animation by adjusting the keyframe interpolation curves.  Click on the keyframe diamonds on the timeline, and the ''Keyframe Editor'' will appear on the bottom.  You can use this panel to adjust the animation curve for smoother or more abrupt transitions.

 ====Archiving/offloading projects to preserve disk space====
 You have (finally!) finished working on a project and you want to put it away some place so it won't take up space on your prime drive and also so that you can pull it back intro Resolve to work on it some more, if that's ever needed.

+From [[https://www.premiumbeat.com/blog/understand-project-files-davinci-resolve/]] (with some mods by smi)
 When you initially open Resolve, you’ll see a project window called the Project Manager. Here, you can load an existing project, or you can create a new project from scratch. However, you may notice that you don’t get to choose where the project file will be stored. Even when saving your project through the “Save Copy As” function, you still don’t get to choose the location — only the name. This is because Resolve operates within an industry-standard database system. Any item that isn’t a media file will be stored in the database. Admittedly, if you haven’t worked with a system like this, it can seem daunting at first. A quick Google search for “DaVinci Resolve save location” will bring up hundreds of frantic search queries from worried users.

 Import and Export are very different from Archive and Restore -- Import/Export only deals with the project files (timelines, bins, settings), everything but the media.
