So it doesn't seem to be auto save that makes a difference, but saving as a new project. Here's my steps to reproduce:Īfter I start DaVinci again, the first project still shows that media error, but the second doesn't. But it seems really weird, maybe a developer can take a look at that problem. But I tried disabling auto save as suggested, and it works for me too.

With the uncompressed file I never had this error again.

If anyone is interested, here's the link: The page doesn't look very professional either for a "Professional Media Converter", but they offer a trial version of their product, which comes with certain limitations. So I looked further.Īfter some time I found a "free" solution, which works fine. I found a rather cheap software from Brorsoft, but the page didn't look that professional and I found a different page, where the, seemingly, same software was sold from a different company (EaseFab). Surprisingly there is not a lot of software that can convert from x264 to DNxHD. The funny thing is, I switched to DaVinci because with Hitfilm that file had no sound.Īfter I didn't get another reply for a few days, I tried to find a decent and preferably free converter for my files. I tried a few different files, most of them recorded with OBS, not all of them displayed this error.Ĭould it be a problem with the codec? Or maybe the file size (some are 10GB+)? How can I track down the reason for that error? It's a screen-recording I created with OpenBroadcasterSoftware, which uses x264 for encoding as far as I know. Not only does it show up as "media offline" in the timeline, but also in the "Media"-Tab. The sound plays choppy sometimes, but that could be due to my old rig (i5 2500k). When I tried to play that part, the sound is still there, just the video is missing (black screen). After that I tried playing around in the editor, but it didn't take long for my timeline to show "media offline". First I added the media (from my local harddrive) to my new project. I tried DaVinci Resolve yesterday for the first time to edit a video. I'm quite new to video editing, so this question might be stupid, but I couldn't find a fitting answer using google.
