How to Fix Can’t Add, Drag or Move Media to Timeline Problem – DaVinci Resolve

hi in this DaVinci Resolve lesson we are

going to fix a problem where you can't

drag media from the media pool into the

timeline and when you try it you will

see a red round no-can-do sign the fix

is really easy and quick let's do it

[Music]

okay this is the project I was working

on when the problem suddenly started so

here's the problem when I try to drag a

image or a video clip it's giving me

that red sign that I can't do it I can't

drop it see it just goes back so

something's wrong here's another image

cut drag that doesn't work so maybe part

of the problem here is that I have so

many things I have seven video layers

and I also have five soundtracks so

there's a lot of stuff in this project

whole bunch of things going on so maybe

I just was over taxing the system

there's more chances of having a bug

like this happen so and I think I found

two ways to fix this remember we can't

drag an image but if you have an audio

file if you drag that down it's actually

letting me it just allowed me to drag

the audio file down and now when I drag

the image I tried earlier it's going to

let me do it also so the simple act of

dragging an audio file down fix this

problem so that's kind of strange why it

would do that I'm going to undo these

but the other fix which is just as easy

just go to your timeline select one one

item press ctrl a to select everything

and ctrl C to copy and we're going to

create a new timeline and the name can

just be timeline to create so this is

empty and now ctrl V to paste everything

onto this new timeline okay it's been

duplicated and now if I try to drag that

same image earlier it will let me so

there were two ways of doing this

it was dragging an audio file into the

timeline and the second fix was select

all and copy create a new timeline paste

everything into the new timeline and

that fixed it as well okay so I hope

that helps you with your problem thanks
