Basic file management issues
Posted: Mon Jun 15, 2009 09:51
There are several very basic file management tasks that are absent from Resolume. The most important being the ability of Resolume to keep track of where the loops are stored. If you move a file away from it's original position, the clip is simply removed from the project without warning. In all other video/audio programs, if you move a file, the program asks where it is, and asks if you want to find it, replace it or ignore it.
Without this ability, I can NEVER change my file structure on my hard drive. Since I am constantly making new loops (i now have more that a thousand clips), it makes file management almost impossible. This also makes moving compositions and clips between different computers extremely difficult.
Another problem is the fact that you cannot move clips between decks without completely recreating the clip with all the effects and parameters in the new deck.
Lastly, when I make a deck, and then duplicate it (saving as "another name"), if I move the deck called WATER from the duplicated deck into the original deck it REPLACES the original WATER deck with the new WATER deck instead of being added to the list of decks in the composition.
