Re: A Cautionary Tale for the FCP Switcher

[Andrzej Tomczak] "I still use XDCAM TRANSFER to make QT XDCAM HD. Then I use PP CS6 to edit ( nice part), Then I create XML , open it with Resolve. Resolve work nice with xdcam HD QT files. "

We avoid transcoding to Quicktime wherever possible because it just slows down Premiere Pro since those are 32bit files. Working with the native files is much faster, even Adobe will tell you that.

As you say for the moment Resolve doesn't accept XDCAM native files, hoping this changes with Resolve 9, so we simply send a flattened QT file over to Resolve with an EDL. Really works just as well as sending over all the raw files. I honestly didn't realize just how good Resolve handles the dissolves in a flattened file, truly incredible.
