Many YouTubers today edit their videos and vlogs with DaVinci Resolve. Does DaVinci Resolve only save your editing as a DRP file? It will not play in Windows Media Player, either uploaded to YouTube or Vimeo.
So how does one convert the DRP to MP4 files? It's actually a matter of how to export a DaVinci Resolve project as MP4. Check this article for proven solutions.
DRP File - What Is It?
DRP stands for DaVinci Resolve Project, so it's actually a project file created by DaVinci Resolve. The DRP file is not a real video file that contains actual data like video, audio, or subtitles. It's just a project file with references to the media files and settings information. That's the reason why the DRP file cannot be opened with other third-party software. It's exclusive to DaVinci Resolve. That is to say, you will not successfully convert DRP to MP4 with some online tools and video converters.
