Right click and hit Edit, and type in the same line you used to create the symlink with. I would also recommend you to create a new textfile in the Resolve folder and name it Symlink LUT.bat - This will create an executable file. Resolve will now have access to the LUTs stored in the shared folder. Once the command is executed you should see a folder named LUT pop up with a shortcut icon and it's done! You've created a Symbolic Link. (Note: You may need to adjust the drive letters or path) So, therefore, all we would need to do is replace LINK with the path of the Resolve LUTs folder, and change TARGET to the folder in the shared directory, like so: mklink /d "C:\ProgramData\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Support\LUT" "X:\MY_SHARED_DRIVE\RESOURCES\LUT" (Command Prompt needs to be run as administrator.) The syntax for creating links in Windows is the following: mklink /d "LINK" "TARGET" Windows users can create a symbolic link using the command prompt. In order to use the Shared folder in Resolve we need to create a Symbolic Link between the Resolve folder, and the shared folder. Rename the folder to LUT.backup, so that you still have an offline version, should you lose connection to the shared drive.Ĭreate a LUT folder on your Shared Network Drive, I store mine in a directory named "Resources".

Mac users will find it here: /Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/LUT Preparing the LUTs folderįor Windows this is usually located at: C:\ProgramData\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Support\LUT Meaning if you use multiple NLE's you'll be able to use the same LUTs folder. It's also possible to create multiple symbolic links for the same folder. If you create a link from your local LUTs folder to a network folder, you will need to be connected in order to use them. The following method uses whats called a Symbolic Link, which requires a connection to the target directory.
