Hi Anyone know why the drp file won't successfully  open in resolve.? I was hoping to see it all set out like the tutorial but nothing is imported when I select import project. I'm on a win 10 machine.Thanks.

I have a question about Lesson 12.

1. What's the reasoning behind exporting a Mono Music track in the first place? Is this just to show that you can easily convert Stereo to Mono or does that have any 'real life' practical reasons?

2. Why did you create a M&E track and didn't include it in the Export?

Kevin Hi:)

Just finished the course. It's very educational. Thank you!

I have a question, maybe you can help me.

I have a multicam timeline with 3 multicams and 8 more audio tracks. I do all my sound works in this timeline. 

But when I use this multicam timeline in another timeline (as a scene from a longer movie) - I only hear the first stereo channel of the timeline - while I need to hear the stereo output of all the tracks.

Can you guide me on how to do it?

Thank you and Happy Holiday!
