路径映射Path Mapping
学习目标LEARNING OBJECTIVES
学完你能用路径映射(Path Mapping)让协作双方各自指向本机上的共享素材,项目传来传去素材不再离线。
概念说明CONCEPTS
路径映射是 Resolve 的自动路径翻译机制——同一个共享文件夹在每台机器上的本地路径不同,配好映射后 Resolve 实时转换,链接不断。
- 专治协作断链:你的 Mac 上是
/Users/editor/cloud/Ep12,对方 PC 上是D:\Projects\Ep12;路径对不上,素材一开就离线。 - 各填各的路径:每个人在 Path Mapping 面板添加同一个共享文件夹(Location),再填它在自己机器上的实际位置(Local Path)。
- 单人也好用:笔记本在办公室连 NAS、回家用本地盘,映射一次,两头切换都不用重新链接。
- 前提是结构一致:共享文件夹内部的目录层级两边必须相同——翻译只对根路径前缀生效。
- 重连顺手建映射:勾选
Automatically setup when relinking,手动重新链接时 Resolve 自动补一条映射。
操作步骤STEPS
- 打开
File>Project Settings(快捷键Shift-9) - 进入
Path Mapping面板,点Add
- 选中双方共用的素材文件夹,作为 Location
- 点
Browse,把 Local Path 指到该文件夹在你机器上的实际位置
- 保存项目设置,离线素材按映射路径自动上线
练习PRACTICE
- 两人一组:同一素材文件夹各拷一份到本机不同路径,互导对方的
.drp,用 Path Mapping 让素材自动上线。 - 勾选
Automatically setup when relinking,故意挪走素材再重新链接一次,观察映射被自动创建。
常见问题FAQ
配了路径映射,素材还是离线?
先查共享文件夹内部的层级结构两边是否一致——映射只翻译根路径,子目录不一样照样找不到。不一致就先手动重连一次(见 媒体重新链接)。
路径映射和重新链接是什么关系?
重新链接是一次性手动指路,路径映射是常驻的自动翻译。偶发断链用前者,固定协作关系用后者。
Remove 会删掉我磁盘上的文件夹吗?
不会。Remove 只从映射设置里删掉这条记录,磁盘上的文件夹和文件原封不动。

After this card you can use Path Mapping so each collaborator points at the shared media on their own machine — projects travel back and forth without media going offline.
Concepts概念说明
Path Mapping is Resolve's automatic path translation mechanism — the same shared folder lives at a different local path on each machine; once mapped, Resolve converts paths on the fly and links stay intact.
- Built for collaboration: your Mac sees
/Users/editor/cloud/Ep12while your partner's PC seesD:\Projects\Ep12; mismatched paths send media offline. - Everyone enters their own path: each person adds the same shared folder (Location) in the Path Mapping panel and fills in where it actually sits on their machine (Local Path).
- Handy solo too: a laptop on the office NAS by day and a local drive at home — map once, and no relinking either way.
- Same structure required: the folder hierarchy inside the shared folder must match on both sides — translation only rewrites the root prefix.
- Relink can map for you: check
Automatically setup when relinkingand Resolve creates a mapping whenever you manually relink.
Steps操作步骤
- Open
File>Project Settings(Shift-9) - Go to the
Path Mappingpanel and clickAdd
- Select the media folder you both share — this becomes the Location
- Click
Browseand point Local Path at where that folder actually sits on your machine
- Save the project settings — offline media comes back online via the mapped path
Practice练习
- Pair up: each copy the same media folder to a different local path, trade exported
.drpfiles, and use Path Mapping to bring media online automatically. - Check
Automatically setup when relinking, deliberately move some media, relink once, and watch the mapping get created for you.
FAQ常见问题
I set up Path Mapping but media is still offline?
Check that the folder hierarchy inside the shared folder matches on both sides — mapping only translates the root path, and different subfolders still fail. If they differ, relink manually once (see Media Relink).
How does Path Mapping relate to relinking?
Relinking is a one-off manual pointer; Path Mapping is a standing automatic translation. Use relink for occasional breaks, mapping for ongoing collaboration.
Does Remove delete the folder from my drive?
No. Remove only deletes the entry from the mapping settings — the folder and its files on disk are untouched.
