Please add drag & dropped files in correct sequence to TL

PostThu Mar 25, 2021 12:51 pm

Hi,
Whenever I drag n drop files from a timeline, it doesn't import in the right sequence, they are sorted by framerate, random or seemingly random.
Is there a setting to change this or is this a bug?

Use the Media Storage panel on the Media page for all Import operations.

Once imported, you can sort media in a variety of ways before adding to a timeline.

This bug appeared on Resolve 16.1.
I opened a similar thread back then but it has not been fixed so far.

Don't drag from Windows Explorer directly to a timeline. Add to the Media Pool first, as Jim mentioned earlier.

I understand that, but...I presume what you want even more is a method that works, yes?

I offered that. ;)
