Six solutions to offline Da Vinci material;

0 1: The most common media offline situation When you lose contact with the source material on the hard disk, the media will be offline. The background of this situation is that you usually move the source material to a different folder or hard disk. The solution is simple: 1. Go to the Media Pool page. 2. Select all offline materials. 3. Right-click any clip and select "Relink Media". 4. In the pop-up dialog box, find the folder containing the source media clips, and then click Select Folder. If some fragments cannot be linked for unknown reasons, Leonardo da Vinci will ask for a "comprehensive search" in the subsequent dialog box. If there are still several fragments offline, generally speaking, you need to expand the search scope, such as changing to a higher-level folder or even the whole hard disk. However, not all offline materials are because there are no correct links. Let's move on to the next situation. 02: Offline material immediately after importing clips Sometimes you will encounter such a situation: the material can be imported, but it will be displayed as offline material immediately. At this point, if you drag them into the timeline and try to play them, you will find that although they are offline materials, you can still hear the audio. This question is often related to whether the material is H.265 or HEVC code. GoPro and DJIMavic encode high-resolution and high-frame-rate materials (such as 4K60FPS) into highly compressed H.265 mirrorless cameras, such as XT4 and A7S3. H.265 encoding is also used in some high-quality formats: Xavchs (H.265-> of SonyA7S3; 4K 120FPS，4K60FPS

H.265-> of FujiXT3/XT4; 4K60FPS，4K30FPS

In fact, this looks more like a problem with the windows system. We need to install the HEVC extension of windows to successfully decode H.265 materials. Solution: 1 Go to Microsoft Store to search for HEVC extensions, and click Buy (yes, it is paid and requires 7 yuan). 2. Download and install the extension. 3. Restart the computer, then turn on Da Vinci, and you should be able to decode the H.265 video. Let me remind you that although both the free and professional versions of Leonardo da Vinci support H.265 decoding, only the professional version supports GPU acceleration. Therefore, although the missing material also shows offline media, the biggest difference from offline material is that it will be displayed with a question mark on the time axis. This is usually because you accidentally deleted the material from the media library. The solution is also very simple, just re-import the mistakenly deleted material from your source folder into the media pool. 05: The problem of audio synchronization or media offline during playback is very confusing, and most people don't think in this direction. Sometimes, after all the clips are imported, they will go offline immediately, but there is no problem with the audio (exactly the same as Question 2), or the imported video will be out of sync when playing. In fact, these are very common problems after the introduction of variable frame rate (VFR) materials. Smartphones and game recording software, such as OBS and NVIDIAShadowPlay, record videos in VFR format. However, SLR, mirrorless cameras or professional cameras shoot video clips at a constant frame rate. So please remember that all post-production software, whether Leonardo da Vinci or Premiere, is based on constant frame rate video material. Therefore, converting variable frame rate material into constant frame rate video is the most fundamental method to solve this kind of problem. This involves two steps. Firstly, it is detected that the material has a variable frame rate, and then it is converted by software. We will use two gadgets, one is Mediainfo, which is used to check the type of frame rate; The other is the handbrake, which can convert VFR (variable frame rate) material into CFR (constant frame rate) material. Frame rate detection mode: 1. First, we download Mediainfo. This is a very useful free software, you can view a lot of metadata. Download address:
