Hi,
I also have this problem, my mp4 4k videos are straight from a Sony AX100E 4K camcorder, offloaded and placed into the media pool, then into timeline and in places in that clip is saying on some frames media offline. if in a location where that wasnt present I do a cut, then either side of that cut then becomes media offline.
I am told elsewhere that WD eco green drive is at fault, 5400 not enough, also the co varies its drive speed to be eco.
I have always done video editing in premiere pro with such, so why now DaVinci requries 7200 rpm, or perhaps SSD.
I am about to make this win7 64bit pro PC a win 10 64 bit pro, so do I get 7200 HDD or SSD instead.
Urgently need to know.
the 2Gb drive is full , so get a 2.5 or 3Gb SSD, BUT they dont make them ! and 4Gb is horrendously expensive, all cos of Resolve.
update, I see this article,
https://beginnersapproach.com/davinci-r ... a-offline/nothing about replace the HDD in that and nothing there that applies to me, unless the mp4 needs making into a massive file thats easier to edit than the codec H264 as is one fix suggested, so DaVinci doioesnt wirk with H264...why ? , but I cant go bloating up 100s of videos, drive is almost full. Are other 4K editors also afflicted with this annoying error, to rebuild the PC to win 10 and replace HDD and still have it exist after much expense will see me go ballistic. I cant even get started with Resolve with .mp4 placed straight from Sony camcorder being supposedly offline when it hasnt even been moved.
