FCPX XML import : "MEDIA OFFLINE" error

PostMon Sep 25, 2017 2:50 pm

Hello,

I'm a newcomer to the Davinci Resolve world, so please bear with me. I did a project in FCPX (10.2.3) and exported an xml. I then imported that XML into resolve 14.0.0.078, added the folder where all the media is, and even though i can now see the clips in the Media pool and can even play them, when I go to the editor I get "Media Offline".
I'm on Mac OS Sierra 10.12.5.

How can I convince Resolve that the media in fact IS online? Curiously, this is only happening with some clips in the timeline while other clips Resolve can see just fine. There doesn't seem to be anything in common with the clips it can't find, these are all just clips I shot using my cellphone (Oneplus 2) in 4k one after the other (I happened to find myself in a pretty interesting place without my main cameras, so I had just my smartphone), and these clips open perfectly fine in FCPX.
I've attached a screenshot for your reference.

Steps to reproduce problem:
1.)Export XML from FCPX
2.) Import XML from Resolve
3.) After the famous "* out of x files not found" and pointing to the folder with all the files
4.) Error found: As in screenshot.

do all of those clips have TC?
Now that the cat #19 is out of the bag, test it as much as you can and use the subforum.

Uli,
What's a good way to find out if my clips have Timecode?

If they all start with 00:00:00:00 there is no TC.

Then I'm stumped.
