Re: Does anyone have success with Resolve to Avid?!

[Roman Hankewycz] "And what do you do about AAF exports? I usually need to do a lot of manual adjustments to the edit in Resolve so how do you get those adjustments to translate back to Avid?"

Don't. The FCP XML round trip allows you to do this, but the AAF round trip doesn't support revision. At least in the version I'm currently using -- 8.2. Render handles if you can't lock the thing before grade. If you're replacing VFX shots, there are other options.

[Roman Hankewycz] "what do you do when you have multiple instances of a shot in the sequence that you need to grade differently?"

Make a "Local Version". Start by right-clicking on the thumbnail and follow the prompts.

Tape names and all the other media file references are trickier in AVID flow, because of the fixed and rigid directory hierarchy -- you might have better luck creating a different numbered file under the AvidMediaFiles/MXF tree. Understand the new media has to be identified differently.


On another issue ---
The video tutorial listed in a response above is... well, it could stand being about 6 minutes instead of 14, and it seems to completely ignore the possibility that Loading an AAF, then exporting and Loading a (Resolve) generated AAF (in 8.2, there is an "AAF roundtrip option") eliminates all that messy file management. And be careful with the Render settings! You CAN choose 23.98, which is not 24.000.
