You can drag the magenta confidence bar down or up to adjust the sensitivity of the cut detection, which should make your entire sequence more accurate to the original cutting copy. If they are all the same… There is something out of whack, and this didn’t find the right cut point. If the left viewer is one clip, and the middle and right viewer are the same clip, you have succeeded.

After the progress reaches 100%, you can use the ‘Cut list’ to view the first clip and use the three viewers to determine whether the scene detection was a success, or if you have to do some modifications. This will open the ‘Scene Cut’ window, where you select ‘ Auto Scene Cut’, and Resolve will begin to interpret the clip as shown by the progress percentage. Now we can scrub through the timeline, and make sure that all of our clips match the Offline reference. If not ,make sure you reference clip has the same timecode start as the timeline. We will match this up to the newly imported FCPXML sequence, by right clicking the timeline and select OFFLINE_REFERENCE_TIMELINE.mov from the ‘Link Offline Reference Clip’ menu.Īfter selecting the ‘Offline Checkerboard’ button on the left under the Source Viewer, the Offline clip should match that of your Timeline viewer. During the Media Page tutorial we looked at importing an Offline Reference Clip. Now that our XML has imported, and relinked to original Raw media, we need to verify the edit hasn’t changed by using an Offline Reference Clip. Typically I uncheck both of these if I know I will be doing a round-trip and the scaling re-applied in FCPX after the media is graded. You can also 'Use Color Information' if coming from FCPX.

The great thing about this feature is that if you were doing a 25% pushin on the 1080p transcode, then Resolve will do that same pushin on the 5K resolution footage so when you export to a 1080p file, there will be little to no degradation. ‘Use Sizing Information’ will import all the scaling and transforming data from FCPX project. Use the Directory navigator to locate the PICTURE_RAW folder on your System Storage. If you started a new project file then keep the 'Automatically Import Source Clips into media pool’ checked which will likely bring up the above dialog to select another folder to search for the clips that were not found. In this case we already imported the files from the Media Page tutorial. ‘Automatically Import Source Clips into media pool’ will bring all the media from the FCPX project into your Resolve Media Pool. ‘Automatically Set Project Settings’ will use the same timebase, resolution, audio settings found in your Final Cut X sequence.

Whether it’s a misplaced clip, moved file, or different camera codec, I hope you found this article helpful on how to fix DaVinci Resolve media offline. If for some reason, you have linked the wrong one, you can always right-click the clip in your Media Pool and relink it again. You always want to make sure that you have relinked the correct clips.

This isn’t all completely hopeless because I also spoke to a Sony rep at Cinegear this year, and they have said that is something they plan to address to make sorting their footage a little bit easier. Think of my unfortunate experience as a cautionary tale.Īfter almost a year of not finding anything online about this issue, I was able to attend NAB, where I spoke to a Black Magic rep, bless this human, and they said this was something specific to that codec and Sony cameras. The best way to attack this issue is to be ahead of it in the first place. Right now, your only step is to offload all of your footage again, reimport it into DaVinci, and then do all your renaming and sorting. All while praying to the film gods that you haven’t reformatted the card with your files on it. Your media will forever be offline, and you will have to do another media dump of all of your cards. The minute one of those folders is renamed, or you have renamed a clip, there is no going back because that codec is labeled and placed in those folders the way it is for a reason. Don’t touch, rename, move, or even look at those source folders. I say this with all of the enthusiasm in the world.
