All about DRP Files
The DRP file type is primarily associated with DaVinci Resolve.
What is a DRP file?
DRP files mostly belong to DaVinci Resolve by BlackMagic Design. DRP is the file extension associated with a DaVinci Resolve project file. DaVinci Resolve is a non-linear video editing and color correction program by Blackmagic Design. The DRP file format stores a project created by DaVinci Resolve. It is a binary file that contains details about the video project's timeline, effects, and settings. The DRP file does not store any media files used in the project. Instead, it just stores references to the media files used. DRP files are also used by DrawPad. DrawPad is a basic graphic design program from NCH Software that allows designers to create simple layer-based images. In this case, DRP files are used to store an image project made in DrawPad. It is used to store details of the different layers that are used to make the image. The layers may include text, images, drawings, and shapes. DRP files can be opened only in DrawPad, but they can be exported to common image file formats such as PNG, JPG, BMP and SVG.
