Moving media without updating Resolve can cause which issue?

• A. Offline clips
• B. Color shift
• C. Expanded metadata
• D. Increased audio levels

Answer: (A)

In Resolve, media references are tied to exact disk paths. If you move a source file on disk without telling Resolve, the program can’t find the file anymore and marks the clip as offline. That’s why the result you’d see is offline clips—the clips no longer have valid paths to their source media. The other options don’t fit because moving files doesn’t inherently change color data, metadata structure, or audio levels; those aspects are affected by different operations (color management, metadata edits, or audio processing), not simply relocating files. To prevent this, keep media in a stable location or use Relink Clips to point Resolve to the new file path when you move files.
