Can't relink clip (can't add new folder). Bug?

PostThu Nov 25, 2021 3:09 pm

Hi! Occasionally I've relocated a few of my clips to a different directory. Ok so far, now I want to relink media pool items back to their files. But...

DVRS does not allow me to add a different folder to look into. Clicking onto the "Add..." button has no effect at all.

What I am doing wrong?! Thanks in advance.

No one has any ideas? Ok maybe opening a ticket at blackmagick support is the only option left to me...

Did you ever figure out a fix for this? Dealing with the same problem right now.

Right click the clip and use Relink...

Yes, sir :) you need to go to settings and allow the proper part of your filesystem to become a media storage location, visible to DVRS. That simple :)

Is the whole "allow Resolve to see some part of my filesystem" still useful or a holdover from yesteryear?
If it's not useful it certainly does add complexity and its hidden-ness produces head-scratchers like this.
