Timeline in smithereens

PostThu Apr 17, 2025 12:05 pm

Hello fellow Davinci Resolve users!

This is my first post here on this forum so please bear with me :)

I'm having a problem with moving an edit between two systems.

We're using two MacBooks and our Resolve is up to date on both systems. We need to be able to export a timeline on one system and open it on the other. Both systems are using the exact same project settings and they're using the same media files that are not on the same hard drives but they are named the same and they are identical except for not being on the same physical hard drives.

Now, from computer A to computer B, this works flawlessly, but the other way around it's all blown to smithereens. Meaning that Resolve interprets all the footage totally wrong. Computer A sees a clip named clip005 on the timeline (as in the original media file names on the hard drives) as clip001. It uses clip001 instead of clip005 to assemble the edit on the timeline. All the rushes are wrongly interpreted this way.

Does any one have a clue?

Best regards
