Optimized Media and proxy media offline problem

PostTue Jan 24, 2023 7:58 pm

Hello,

I am trying to move from Premiere Pro to Davinci Resolve, however, I am having quite a lot of problems with my Resolve Studio 18.

First, everytime I close the project and open it the next day, all media is offline and I have never moved the Media folder of my project and second, and super frustrating is I generated optimized media and proxies for the whole timeline but everytime I open the project, I can't relink the footage to the optimized media or the proxies, the performance is super laggy and I have a powerful desktop pc.

Can anyone please help me? Thank you! :)

You're using only internal drives?

C’mon, Jim, we know it’s your mantra, but there have been too many reports of such problems in 18, even with internal storage. Something is wrong and BM should know it by now.
Regarding media on external drives in general: as long as your drives are connected and seen by the system before you start DR, it shouldn’t ever be a problem.
Maybe AI can help you. Or make you obsolete.

It is a potential issue that should be part of the troubleshooting.
