Can't Relink Media

PostThu Dec 17, 2020 1:46 am

Moved files to different hard drive. Went to relink the media and right clicked on clip in media page. Nothing happened. No Pop-up to relink media. Tried again and Resolve froze. Happened in Beta5 and Beta 4. Was hoping Beta 5 would have fixed it. Any other way to relink media? Same problem with right click in the equalizer in the fairlight page.

Relinking working here. Right click on a clip opens this dropdown.

Selecting Relink opens the Windows finder. Select the folder the clip is in and select. Clip re-links.

Are you referring to the Equalizer in the Inspector, or by clicking on the Equalizer box on a mixer channel?
In the Inspector Equalizer panel the right mouse button does nothing, only the left.
In the channel Equalizer, double clicking with the left or right mouse button will open it but the right mouse button has no influence on the controls, again left only.

From the Edit page, Media Pool, above the list of bins, there's a new Relink Media icon that will light red whenever there's missing media.

Well, thanks for trying. There's a problem somewhere, hopefully it'll be fixed when the final addition comes out of Beta. Again, the problem is clicking on the link icon or right clicking on a missing clip does NOT bring up the proper box so that you can relink the footage and instead freezes the program.

Problem solved. Wasn't a DaVinci Bug. Using two monitors with different resolutions. When switching to a one monitor setup, everything worked fine. With two monitors, it depended on which monitor you were right clicking on. Graphics driver issue......
