Importing an XML file into Resolve, some files ‘not yet found’

[Mads Nybo jørgensen]

Hey Thomas,

Have you tried to highlight the missing clips, and then select relink footage?
(You are likely to have to browse to the folder with the clip ion, rather than use search)

Hey Mads,

I have 4 days of material I’ve shot, so finding 14 clips that aren’t there…not sure how to do that or why those clips are not found.

[Mads Nybo jørgensen]

Hey Thomas,

Have you investigated whether the clips is actually in your media folder?
As, you need to locate them manually, before looking for them from inside Davinci.

Also, it would be helpful if you tell us a bit about your hardware and software set-up?

Hi Mads

I’m running Resolve 19 on an Alienware R16 desktop.

Resolve is giving a list of files it cannot find, but with over 20 it would takes hours to locate and transfer each individually.

thanks,

Tom

A familiar problem. I did solve it by going back to the original project and painstakingly removing all fades and dissolves, video and audio. I think I did the same for opacity and audio keyframes but try the dissolves first. It worked for me. I don’t think any edit software Da V, FCP or Prem Pro has put a lot of time into making XMLs work seamslessly. I would think far more of them if they did.

Hey Tom,

Snap, after waiting for 4-months for HP to fix my broken high-end HP Fury 16 G10, within warranty when the problem started.
(YouTube video here with my fan on overdrive, and BIOS not upgrading – interestingly, I am not the only one with this problem.
Edited on Davinci: https://youtu.be/7NvFomqastY?si=x27RJUKGAgwXmun7).

I just last week took delivery of a DELL Alienware R18 – trying to make it run every professional PC editing software going.

Sorry, just a distraction – here goes:

As you will have the file name inside Davinci.
Copy that.
Go to your File Explorer (hold Windows Key + e).
Start a search in your top directory, or on the drive, using the copied filename.

Hopefully that will tell you if the file is there, and in what folder.
Then you can relink to that – should not take you long to do.

In the past, I would just import the files into that project and try to force it from there.

In the past of course (R12 and lower).
