About

A Python script that parses Blackmagic® Davinci Resolve® project files (.drp) and allows patching (downgrading) project version.

Note

This tool does NOT convert or migrate data structures or adjust XML data to different project versions' schemata! It does nothing more than patch a project file such that Davinci Resolve® regards it as a project file of a certain version.

Resolve versions v. Project versions

Davinci Resolve version	Project version
20	15
19	14
……	……

Usage

Prepare system:

$ uv python install
$ uv sync

Run the tool to set a version for Davinci Resolve® project files:

$ uv run drprojver.py [-h] -s ‹SETVER› [-a ‹ASSERTVER›] ‹input› ‹output›

• Positional arguments:
  • ‹input› input project file (.drp)
  • ‹output› modified output project file (.drp)
• Options:
  • -h, --help show a help message and exit
  • -s, --setver ‹SETVER› version string to write into project file
