Relinking footage starts every cut from the start

So I had to relink some footage on a project in Davinci Resolve,
but it's starting EVERY single cut that I have in the footage at the 00.00 timecode of the relinked footage, rather than working like normal?

Luckily I had an old save to revert too but this could cause horrible issues in the future is there a reason this happened that I can avoid?

Maybe someone else has an idea, but I don't have enough information to even begin to guess.

Does the media have timecode? Are externally created proxies in use? Do they have timecode? How did the files go offline? Are network or removable drives in play?

Details.

Yes we need more details of your workflow. When you say you’re “relinking”, do you mean an existing Resolve project that previously linked correctly? Or do you mean you’re trying to link an imported XML sequence from another app like Premiere?

If your clips even show a TC with all zeroes I assume they don't have TC in the first place.
Add some with a tool like EditReady before using them in any NLE!

I just had a project that I had cut up, one of the video files had a name changed by someone else so I had to replace the footage with the same base footage of a different name now, and that's where the issue happened.

I'm only confused as to why it happened like this as I've done it countless times in Premiere and never had this issue

See my sig.

one of the video files had a name changed by someone else

Change it back.

See my sig.

I'd agree if there was any logical reason that it was happening this way I know they're all different but that doesn't change a weird behaviour haha

Thanks Jim that was the first thing I tried it's cool I worked around it for now just made sure everyone at work knows not to change things once an edit has begun

Well, that's a basic principle that applies to all NLEs
