Projective brings multi-NLE freedom and automated media management with new Strawberry panel for DaVinci Resolve

The integration extends Strawberry’s multi-NLE workflow directly into DaVinci Resolve, delivering advanced media intelligence, configurable guardrails, and total storage independence to simplify migrations and eliminate vendor lock-in.

Berlin, 10th November, 2026. Projective, a software provider that brings structure to post-production workflows for broadcasters, creative agencies and production facilities worldwide, is announcing the launch of its new Strawberry panel for Blackmagic Design’s DaVinci Resolve. The strategic integration extends Strawberry’s industry-leading multi-NLE project management, media intelligence, and automated workflow guardrails directly into the DaVinci Resolve editing and finishing environment, giving existing customers the exact same seamless experience they already rely on in Adobe Premiere and Avid Media Composer.

Restrictive licensing models and third-party storage limits are driving many productions away from Avid Media Composer and toward the more flexible and open worlds of Premiere and Resolve. At the same time, though, the lack of any prescribed media structure in those applications causes its own media management headaches.

Strawberry bridges this gap by providing automated structure and maintaining sensible workflows for professional productions. It empowers facilities to transition new projects to DaVinci Resolve or adopt multi-NLE workflows without replacing underlying infrastructure, forcing hardware upgrades, or paying for costly proprietary enterprise storage upgrades. With the new Resolve panel, the experience is even more intuitive for colorists, editors, and post-production managers, enabling them to seamlessly bridge Avid Media Composer, Adobe Premiere, and DaVinci Resolve without friction.

Existing Strawberry sites can now onboard Resolve users into their managed pipelines instantly, while facilities new to Projective can gain full Production Asset Management (PAM) capabilities without being tied to specific storage vendors or restrictive subscription models.

“My favorite compliment we hear time and again from customers is that Strawberry ‘gets out of the way,’” says Derek Barrilleaux, CEO, Projective. “We’ve enabled thousands of creatives around the world to focus on their work rather than looking for media or guessing where assets are. This enables our customers to do more with less, which in the current media landscape is key to survival. The powerful new Resolve panel dramatically increases value we can provide to the entire creative content process.”

Key benefits of the Strawberry panel for DaVinci Resolve

The new integration provides the same functionality as Strawberry’s existing Adobe Premiere Panel, giving post-production facilities unified control across editing platforms without replacing infrastructure or duplicating media. By managing project files and databases centrally in the background, Strawberry simplifies asset tracking and collaboration across complex creative pipelines. 

• Seamless editing and finishing bridge: Enables simultaneous multi-NLE and grading collaboration without media duplication or complex roundtripping. Avid media files are directly available within Resolve through the Strawberry panel, eliminating the need for manual file migrations or custom scripts.
• Bring your own storage: Delivers full Production Asset Management without vendor lock-in, enabling teams to manage versions across cloud, NAS, or hybrid storage environments.
• Advanced media intelligence: Accelerates discovery with AI-powered transcription and visual search directly in Resolve, making untagged content findable via semantic search and turning transcripts into searchable metadata. Import only subclips with the relevant material into Resolve projects.
• Automated workflow guardrails: Automates project structures and eliminates guesswork, while enforcing project-level access control to safeguard high-value media assets.
• No more media offline errors: Detects unmanaged external files in the Media Pool and automatically copies and relinks them into shared storage to eliminate orphaned media.

Furthermore, the panel streamlines the review and approval cycle. Renders generated in Resolve can be exported straight back into Strawberry projects for immediate editorial access. Colorists can also send graded renders directly to custom-branded Strawberry Galleries, routing feedback to the post team effortlessly.

“By decoupling management software from the underlying storage, Strawberry delivers an intelligent layer for multi-editor workflows across any platform,” explains Marco Stahl, Product Owner and Co-founder of Projective. “This software-defined approach future-proofs operations against market volatility, allowing facilities to maintain complete storage independence and avoid proprietary hardware lock-in.”
