I just discovered a terrifying Windows shortcut mistake that can permanently delete your video files while editing in DaVinci Resolve!

If you are trying to do an insert edit and drag a clip directly from Windows File Explorer to your timeline while holding the Shift key, your computer will actually move the source file directly into the Recycle Bin. If you empty your bin without realizing it, your footage is gone forever! Watch this quick warning to see exactly how this happens and how to keep your files safe.

What actually happens:
➤ You drag a clip from File Explorer
➤ You hold the Shift key to insert it on the timeline
➤ Windows accidentally sends the original file to the Recycle Bin
➤ DaVinci Resolve gets stuck with a "Media Offline" error
