Resolve seems more complicated, trying to link back, perhaps because of its multi-user basic design. NLE programs (Power Director and FCPx as well as Resolve) seem to 'lose' their path to media on any external drive. I've been having to same problem, Can be a real problem if one tries to put a computer to 'sleep' - because one has to - in hopes of continuing the next day.

If it is working, then there is some internal issue with Resolve (I would imagine). Here is another idea to MAYBE help trouble shoot (I think this would be my first step).Ĭreate a NEW project and then try to drop one of the clips (the one that are listed as Media Offline) on to the timeline of the new project, just to see if it is working or not. I didn't do any file deletion or moving outside of Resolve.Īlso, apparently using the Auto Save function can cause problems, so best to try and avoid using it?!?!?! I tried relinking all my media files but that didn't fix it. I used Resolve's delete optimized media option. You are correct, I used the wrong terminology, I meant projects. In your case, it appears there is some critical file or information on the projects itself are missing,Īll my source video clips are in their original locations with original names. Have you tried to 'right click' and see what options you have?Ī simple fix for lost files within a project is 'replace footage'(other programs) or in Resolve 'relink selected clips' or 'change source folder'. You need to solve the problem externally in file explorer before Resolve can go about finding the necessary project file(s) if all other options don't work.ģ.

Then you can't expect Resolve to know how to fix this.

If you deleted the files outside of Resolve (like with windows file explorer or something), How did you go about 'I did delete the optimized media when I was done with the project because it takes up an incredible amount of hard drive space. You say 'my videos,' but it appears your screenshot shows the projects list.Īt least with older versions, (14/12/below) I am familiar with, the projects list only shows project files, not individual video files.Ģ. I need more information about your situation.ġ. Is to inform the program where the new location is. If of course one did not accidentally/purposely delete the particular needed files, I'm sorry you received such an uneducated response as to 'live with it.' You need a better source of advice. This is a common prompt that all NLE programs give for the same reason, a message that has been seen by editors for years. Then this is easily caused by the program not finding a particular file in the location you told the program.

Unless you are pointing out a particular bug that a recent version has(which is how the thread title reads BTW), That's a bit sad if that's what it comes down to. Someone else said they 'just live with it'. But I was hoping for a way to go back into the project and select a new representation frame. I did delete the optimized media when I was done with the project because it takes up an incredible amount of hard drive space. Every thing is on my D: drive which doesn't move when I plug in an external drive. Someone mentioned that this may be an issue with using 'optimized' footage, which I am, because I'm editing 4K.

So my media is usually on my G drive, but if I insert an sd card reader (or remove one) the drive letter may change, and it will then five me the media offline notification. Sometimes this happens when you have removable drives and after removing or inserting them, the drive letter changes. I've done some searching for info on this but haven't seen anything that quite fits my situation. I don't think that I did anything to cause this, it just appeared. However, when Resolve comes up now it shows two of my videos as 'Media Offline'. I'm new to Resolve, so far I've only done a few short videos but I'm impressed with it.
