For DaVinci Resolve 20.2, we have taken efforts to keep the project libraries compatible with DaVinci Resolve 19.1.4. While this allows you to access the project library with 19.1.4, individual projects created or opened in 20.2 will no longer be accessible in 19.1.4. We recommend a full project library backup as well as individual project backups before opening projects in 20.2.
