Simple clip relinking
- In DaVinci Resolve 9, 10, 11, if you ever had to relink your media in your media pool back to the media on your hard drives, you know how tedious a process this could be, especially if the editor handed you a project that was really sloppy, everything's all over the place in a bunch of different directories and you had to use the Change Source Folder command, I'm here to tell you those days are over and we can now do simple, intelligent clip relinking here in DaVinci Resolve 12, let's see how that works. Now for this demonstration, I've imported from the exercise files in the folder for Projects, I've got a DaVinci Resolve project titled "Chapter 01a - Relinking." If you want to follow along, feel free to import that. It's going to take us to a media pool that looks like this. I've got a bunch of clips, they're all broken. Why? Because I've changed the media path and if you take a look at the edit timeline, everything is pretty much offline, so what I need to do is relink these files. So I'm going to click on one of these files, select all, right-click, and there's the Relink Selected Clips command above the Change Source Folder which is precisely where it should be because this is a superior method. I'm going to select it, so now I've got my normal browser, I need to browse to the media location. Except, I don't have to browse to the precise folder. All I have to do is get close to where the media files actually exist. I can relink starting from the desktop. I could relink all the way at the top up here, but then Resolve has to dig through tens of thousands of folders, that's going to take some time. So I want to go just high enough that it captures all of the media I need to relink to. In this case let's try the desktop, I'll click OK. It's searching the folders. And there we go. There it is, quick, easy, modern relinking, something we've been looking for forever and I had two file paths going there. It relinked to my video files and my ProRES (LT) folder, it relinked to the audio in the audio folder, and we didn't have to use that Change Source Folder command anymore. Yay!
