Confusing Media Offline Thumbnails

PostWed Jan 27, 2021 1:05 am

I'm just getting started with DaVinci Resolve and working my way through the official tutorial videos. I'm very impressed so far but one thing is really annoying me. I have several projects that display the Media Offline thumbnail even after I've re-linked the original media files. If I open the projects everything is where it should be, but it's extremely frustrating to see those big red warning signs every time I open the Project Manager. Naturally it would also be quite nice to see the video thumbnails instead. Is there something simple that I may have overlooked? I've tried Right Clicking > Update Thumbnails : This seems to work temporarily but the Media Offline thumbnail usually comes back after a while. I know it's a simple thing, but this is driving me nuts. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated?

My advice, ignore it and move on.

The Project Manager thumbnails have never worked 100% for me since I started using Resolve at version 12.
My Biases:

You NEED training.
You NEED a desktop.
You NEED a calibrated (non-computer) display.

:D OK thanks for the quick and honest answer. I'll switch to list view and forget it
