The DRP file format is a proprietary project file format used exclusively by Blackmagic Design's DaVinci Resolve, a professional-grade non-linear video editing, color grading, visual effects, and audio post-production application. Unlike a video file, a DRP file does not contain the actual raw media assets (such as video clips, audio files, or images). Instead, it acts as a database container that stores the project's metadata, including the edit timeline, color grading nodes, transition settings, effect parameters, bin organization, and links to the source media files located on the user's storage drives. Because it is a lightweight file, it is frequently used for project archiving, sharing between editors, or moving projects between different workstations. When a DRP file is exported, it essentially creates a portable snapshot of the project state, allowing another user to import the file and relink the media to continue working exactly where the original editor left off. It is the standard method for collaborative workflows in professional film and television production environments.
