SFX Catalog — DaVinci Resolve Panel Help

Windows

DaVinci Resolve Studio > Workspace > Workflow Integrations > Sound Effects Catalog

If the panel is missing, check its installation status in SFX Catalog. Close DaVinci Resolve before reinstalling the plugin, then restart DaVinci Resolve Studio.
If the panel or audio conversion cannot start, check Windows Security and antivirus notifications. Do not disable security protection to bypass a warning. After moving SFX Catalog, reinstall the plugin from its new location to update the audio-conversion path; catalog browsing itself does not depend on that path.
If audio is unavailable, check that its drive is connected, the file is accessible and the library is listed in SFX Catalog.
For import, check that a project is open in DaVinci Resolve Studio. For conversion, check that the destination folder is writable. Keep converted files while the project uses them.

DaVinci Resolve Studio > Workspace > Scripts > SFX Catalog

If the panel is missing, check its installation status in SFX Catalog and that both applications run under the same user account. Restart DaVinci Resolve Studio after installation. Utility is a disk folder, not an extra menu item.
If the panel does not open, check that SFX Catalog itself starts. The Linux launcher stores the path to SFX Catalog: after moving it, reinstall the plugin from its new location. Check the DaVinci Resolve Console for any Python error.
Only if connection or import fails, check DaVinci Resolve > Preferences > System > General > External scripting. Local may already be enabled; no change is needed if import works. Defaults vary between installations. Network is not required.
For audio problems, check file access and that FFmpeg and ffprobe are installed. For import, check that a project is open in DaVinci Resolve Studio; for timeline insertion, also check that a timeline is open.

No supported macOS panel installation is available yet.

macOS support has not yet been validated. Check this section for supported macOS versions, processors, installation steps and DaVinci Resolve Studio integration when a package is released.
Do not install the Windows plugin or Linux launcher on macOS.
