Which condition turns the Relink Media button red?

• A. Media is offline
• B. Relink Media is disabled
• C. The media is missing
• D. Media is unexpectedly offline

Answer: (D)

The red Relink Media button appears when Resolve can’t access the linked media in a way the project expects. This specifically happens when media becomes offline in an unexpected way— Resolve detects a problem with the file paths or the drive that contains the clips, so it prompts you to reconnect them.

This is different from a plain offline state, a missing file, or a disabled button, because those situations don’t carry the same urgent, action-required signal in the UI. When you see the red indicator, you’ll want to locate the correct files or re-map the drives so Resolve can restore the links. To fix it, use Relink Media to point Resolve to the correct file locations, ensuring drives are mounted and paths are accessible.
