I have decided that this has not been an issue with my files, but an issue with DaVinci.

I went back and tried to import ANY video file I have previously successfully used with no luck EXCEPT for that single one I used in the initial post.

In the short term I was able to work around the problem when I imported the whole folder instead of individual files. Once the whole folder was imported all of my video files were accessible.

Very weird. Not sure what a better long term solution will be, but at least I got it to work for now.

Ah, thank you. I didn’t know that about MP4s/MP3s. I am currently using the free version of DaVinci.

When I go back and look at the codec information, the file that did work lists the codecs as “Timecode, MPEG-4 AAC, H.264”

When I look at some of the other videos that did not upload, some list the codecs as “MPEG-4 AAC, H.264”. The other files are MP3s and don’t give me any of that information in a place I can find easily (I’m on Mac).

I went back in and relinked all of my clips. That did solve the problem, which is fantastic. I didn’t notice earlier in the process because in the library only the clip that had video (which I had imported into the library but was not using) displayed the red warning that the clip wasn’t linked. The audio-only file, which was the one I was actually working with, didn’t give me any indication that there was a problem.

I don’t know why they became unlinked in the first place since I didn’t move any of these files; either way, I’m glad I can edit again. Thank you for your help!

Hi!

I am using DaVinci 19, version 19.1.3, running it on my MacBook. My Mac is using OS Sequoia 15.3 (though I had been using an earlier operating system recently, which gave me no trouble. I tried updating my computer as part of trying to fix this issue, but that did not help).

I have been previously editing without any issue on this computer. The only thing that I did before this issue began was that I restarted my computer earlier that day. I am noticing that some of my media is giving me a “media offline” label when I check the bin though (I have added screenshots here). I haven’t moved the original files as far as I am aware, though.
