Hi,
I'm editing al large Project in Resolve 17. Unfortunately some files where destroyed on my RAID and I'd like to know if there is a way to search for all "offline media" in the Project.
In AE or Premiere I can filter my media by "missing footage" and reconnect them from this filtered list.
I'm sure Resolve has a way to do this too – going manually through bin by bin and search for the "red media" is quite a lot of work..
cheers
Jörg-Mark

Hey Jörg, I've not found a 'Status' attribute or similar that you can directly search/filter by, but if you switch your Media Pool to List View, Alt/Opt click on the 'Master' bin (to open all contained bins) and then select all of those bins , then in the displayed (black and white) file list its very much easier to scan for those 'red' missing media items.

Thank You Andy,
I did not think about Alt Clicking

this is a great help.
PLEASE BMD add a "status field" to the search / filter options – even with all bins open this can be tedious in a project with thousands of assets.

I just had a look in the Feature Request forum and see that someone already asked for it ... and it already exists! My bad for misdirecting you... I swear I looked and didn't see it, but I just looked again and there it is.

THANK YOU

Obviously the Status field exists in the smart bins but NOT in the media tab column list...
So in future we might always look at both options
