If you have current projects you expect or need to work with after the upgrade, I'd suggest you multistep the upgrade.
In that case, I'd recommend you install 16.2.6 until you can update your GPU. Hopefully you are not in the middle of any projects, and your plan is to start fresh with a new Studio version. I would not expect 12.5.x projects to open well, if at all, in 16 or 17. drp files for any important projects (which you should already be doing). If you are happy with the way 12.5.5 is working, that could be an option.īut so much has been added and improved since then, I'd think you'd want to move to a newer version.įor sure do as Peter suggests and BACKUP your current Resolve database(s). You should be able to install Studio 12.5.6 over your free 12.5.5 version, if you really wanted to do that. The last version of Resolve that properly supports that GPU is 16.2.6.
You really don't want to use your GPU in OpenCL mode. So in that case, we'd recommend backing up the free database, and then restoring that in the Studio version. If you had the free App Store version installed, and you installed the Studio App Store version, it would NOT see the project data of the free version. If you are on Windows, you can only install a newer version, else you'll need to uninstall the current version first.Īll of the above assumes we are not talking about the Mac App Store version, which has uniquely located user project and config data. To summarize, if you are on Mac or Linux, you can install any version over any version at any time. If you had free 16.2.2 installed, and a 16.2.3 Studio version was available, you could install that on top of the free 16.2.2 without uninstalling the free 16.2.2 first. Resolve 16, all your project data and config data will remain intact.įor Windows, you can't install the same or an older version without uninstall the current version first, i.e, if you have free 16.2.2 installed, and you want to install Studio 16.2.2, you'd need to uninstall the free 16.2.2 first. You can only have one version of Resolve installed at a time, and the free and Studio versions are separate versions.įor Mac and Linux, you can install Studio over the free version.
