Need help, dragged clip in Still Gallery is lost.

PostFri Apr 30, 2021 7:59 am

Hi,

unfortunately, I dragged a clip from the Windows Explorer into the window of the Still Gallery instead of in the Media Pool in Davinci Resolve. Now the Clip isn't anymore at the original source / folder and I can't find it in Davinci. :shock:

Can anybody help me? Thanks.

Greetings

I tested this. Surprisingly, the still did move out of the folder on the hard drive and into the Stills album in Resolve.

WTF???

For a better understanding, I mean the still album of the color window which where the nodes stills are listed / saved.

Can anybody help me? If I search through the complete hard drive with the file name, nothing could be found.
It looks like, the file is permanently deleted. :cry:

Hi,

No, the file isnt in the .gallery folder of the project. There are only the .dpx files and a info.txt.

I tested it with a file and searched through the complete hard drive, nothing.
It looks like it were lost forever.

In my case, it did end up in the Gallery.

But it also disappeared from it's original location on the hard drive, and that is a problem.
