Relocate Isn't Working

Post by thedavidlim »

Hi all,

I did some file re-org to consolidate folders and, as expected, when I opened my (up-to-date) R6 composition all the clips say "Relocate".

Normal.

Problem is, when I click on "Relocate" and the Media Manager opens, Media Manager doesn't restore the clips it locates. What I mean is this: whether I use "Locate All", "Set Path", or "Relocate", Resolume opens Explorer and I point to the master folder/child folder/individual file (tried them all) and click Open, then it searches through and nothing. But, if I drag the clips in from the browser (same locations) they work fine, but there are a lot of clips and I'd rather see this fixed then work-around it all the time.

In the media manager I can see the file path and they're all correct, but they don't appear in my composition, even after saving.

I'm on Windows 10, and all the clips are in Dropbox. This is how I worked in R5 and everything was fine. I use Dropbox because I'm sharing clips and also as a touring act it's a good backup, so I'm not trying to change.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

has dropbox finished the sync yet?
Do you have file duplicates or with same names in the search path?

Yes, it has been synced for days. To check if Dropbox was the problem though, I also moved a clip to my desktop and tried to use the relocate function to reset the path and nothing. Wouldn't even let me "set path" or whatever, without relocating.

Could you post a screenshot of the file names, they are all unique right?

Could you send us the composition file together with some of the footage files?
I'll send you a pm with a link.
