I'm hoping someone can help with what appears to be a rather unique reconnect/conform problem. I started a short project several months ago, and attempted to resume editing the other day. However, all of my footage was suddenly offline.
I hadn't moved it. Much searching found that the original footage was still present in the Photos app (I had shot in on an iPhone). But no amount of manual reconnecting would work; when I tried to do a search of the whole drive via Resolve, it took several hours (essentially overnight) and produced nothing.
Finally, I did a rough attempt at conforming, after moving the video files to a new folder. This only worked for one or two clips - Resolve seems to think that the whole project was made using only 2 or 3 clips, so it's a bunch of un-synced overlapping cuts of the same source video file.
I think this is because I imported the files from Photos (I know, that wasn't a good idea). All of the file names look like this:
xPTrghuwShKpKO0ko8u96w.MOV
When I tried to "CHANGE SOURCE FOLDER" it gave the old directory as something that ended with:
/Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users/*myname*/Movies/CacheClip/audio/Users/*myname*/Library/Containers/com.apple.MediaLibraryService/Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iLifeMediaBrowser.ILPhotosTranscodeCache
And there is *SOMETHING* in those folders, but not video files.
Can anybody help?
