What is a .DRT file?
DRT is a timeline exported from DaVinci Resolve. Created and opened by DaVinci Resolve.
- Did you know
- Two of Resolve’s built-in pages began as entirely separate products: Blackmagic bought the Fusion VFX tool from eyeon in 2014 and audio specialist Fairlight in 2016, then folded both into Resolve.
- A DRT carries a single timeline’s cuts, effects and clip references so it can be dropped into another Resolve project.
- It deliberately excludes the source footage, so a recipient sees “Media Offline” until the original files are relinked.
- What Analyser reads
- Identify and read video-editing project files: Adobe After Effects (AEP, AET, AEPX) - walks the RIFX chunk tree for compositions, layers, effect match-names and asset paths; Adobe Premiere Pro / Elements (PRPROJ, PREL) - sequence, media-item and clip counts plus media paths; Sony / MAGIX VEGAS Pro (VEG, VF); DaVinci Resolve from Blackmagic Design (DRP, DRT); Wondershare Filmora (WFP, WSP); and CapCut drafts (draft_content.json) - canvas resolution, duration, tracks and material counts.
- Depth of analysis
- .DRT is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
- Open a .DRT file
- Drag a .DRT file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
