Update Usage Data Where??

PostWed Aug 21, 2019 6:46 pm

So, the manual states that I need to be in list view in the Media pool to use the contextual (right-click) Update Usage Data menu (ver 16.0.0.050 on a win machine)
The problem is that my list view is filled with clips so there's no "empty" place to right-click on but an actual asset. And in that case the menu shows how many times that clicked asset was used
But there's no way I can find the Update usage data menu.

Is there something I am missing?

Thanks
Gabi

Are you saying you don't see any of the column headings, such as "Clip Name", "Reel Name", "Start TC" etc, etc?

If you do see any of those, that's what you right click on.

Once you have the usage column enabled, it's automatically updated in Resolve 16, so the "Update Usage Data" right click contextual menu has been removed.

Thanks Dwaine -

That was it then. I was seeing the column headers, but there was no "empty" spot to right-click in the list for a contextual menu to appear, because my list was filled with asset rows.

It's good to know about the automatic update.

Thanks!

The usage data does not work properly for me: There are clips in the media pool with a usage count of zero that have been used in timelines. Also there are clips that have usage count of >0 where the context menu (right mouse button) does not offer the sub menu for "usage", i.e. it won't tell you where the clips have been used. Or there are clips with usages of >2 (e.g. 40) where it will only show one single location in the context menu.

Is there some way to force Resolve to get the data right?

I'm facing the same issue in Davinci 17.1, the usage indicator does not seem accurate, and I can't find the "update usage" fonction anymore, any suggestion?

As far as the Update Usage function, that was removed in Resolve 16 as per Dwaine's post above.

It shows usage in the currently focused timeline.

Hm, didn´t work for me too.
Just had only one timeline but the usage shown in the medial pool is not the same as used clips in the timeline .
