Can't access library in DaVinci Resolve Lite

PostThu Apr 18, 2013 9:15 am

I've just installed the Resolve Lite on my Macbook and I want to test it out, but I can't access any files to work with.
When I open up a project it just shows the small globe and "...". Nothing comes up when I drop down the folder with the small arrow on the left side of it.

Anyone have any idea of how I can get to access my files so I can start using the program?


Thanks in advance :)

Go into Resolve Preferences / Media Storage and add your media drive to the Scratch Disks list, using the + icon at the bottom of the Scratch Disks window. Also enable the "Show all mounted volumes in the Library" checkbox.

Disk "J" is sounding like windows not Mac OS. Please confirm your system config.

Hello. I'm having the same issue. I've gone into preferences>media storage and added my drive. I didn't see a box with "Show all mounted volumes in the library" I'm on a PC running Windows 10 64-bit

What version of Resolve are you using?

In Resolve Windows Resolve Preferences - System - Media Storage, there should be a checkbox called "Automatically display attached and network storage locations". You don't see that?

After you added your drive in Preferences - Media Storage, it's not showing up in the Media page Media Storage list?

If you right click in the Media page Media Storage area, are you able to add a drive?
