2:03 Tutorial begins, export from Premiere. 3:39 Import into Resolve. 5:39 Export out of Resolve.

[@jyebaby]

Just so people know, the import page has changed a bit. Now you just go import > import timeline I was making the mistake of going import > media from XML and it wasn't working

[@JayLippman]

Thanks for the update! Good to know!

[@willakana3369]

Thank you!

[@Dak_Laxterby]

Could you clarify? Every time I right click in the bin and select import, it just brings me to the finder page where I select the file I'm trying to import and offers no other specifics. How do you find the "import timeline" selection?

[@jyebaby]

@@Dak_Laxterby it's in the file menu like in the video. So file > import > import timeline

[@dynamicrangeproductions]

Extremely helpful man, I wasn't quite ready to start re learning an entire editing software, but I just wanted to make use of DaVinci color grading prowess, and still maintain premiere Pro, this is beautiful, my work flow from this day on word

thank you, was searching for this from long long time.

Great video!! Question tho when I export it back to premiere only a black video shows up. All the audio is fine however

[@RealAsliHai]

Thank you so much! I have been so worried about using both the softwares together. Lots of love for you ♥

[@raulsilvagomez7353]

Hello! I really appreciate your video. It's helpful for the unitiated in this workflow. I know why your audio clips are doubling in the timeline! (that you mentioned in 6:39). It's because when rendering in DaVinci you are still rendering the audio from Davinci, you just need to uncheck that in the Premiere XML window. I hope this helps! :D

[@JayLippman]

Ah perfect! Thank you! I do everything in Resolve, so I honestly never looked further into that lol

[@bibiwiki]

Hi Jay, this video helped me a lot!! Huge Thanks to your effort.

[@sanaawright5005]

what about if you've added effects and have multiple video and audio layers, will that mess up the import in to davinci?

[@JGorg8]

Are you using a 5 second clip out of Resolve? You move so quickly from exporting out of Resolve back into Premiere, but it's not fast at all when the timeline is longer.

[@juwannablomie]

Doesn't work for me. I read the FCP translation file says some .BRAW stuff didn't get translated as well as effects but when I import the XML file into DaVinci there is no action, nothing pops up, no files.

[@jackirvine9380]

can i do this after all of my editing or does it have to be done first? i want to do this with a project i havent graded yet but i dont want any of my edits to be change when switching back to a premiere file. thanks for the video!

[@navin_bhatt_official]

Hi there, i would appreciate if you could clear my confusion. As Premiere is not able to have the srgb color space, i have no choice but to color grade in davinci as i am free to choose whatever color space to work in. Confusion is when im done color grading in davinci under srgb working space, and i move back to premiere which is a rec 709 color space. How do i resolve this issue in the color shift if it happens when exporting to KZbin as Im aware Premiere will not change to srgb working space. Do correct me if im wrong. Thank you so much

[@bluedeskfan2754]

How about re-scaling and positioning done in Premiere, where the anchor point is off center. Is there a way to bring that over correctly into Resolve?

[@davidbhulapatna3892]

Render it as one file and let Resolve recut it with "autodetect Scene". I was just here to see if there is a better way than years before..but it seems there isn´t - xml doesn´t work if you got too complex editing in Premiere.

[@bluedeskfan2754]

@@davidbhulapatna3892 I want to work with the original RAW footage. My only work around is to go through the timeline in Premiere before I export the XML and manually check the anchor point on all shots is in the center. Then any re-scales, like slow zoom in's are either done in Resolve or back in Premiere via adjustment layers. It's not ideal. Guess they want you to give up at some point and just edit in Resolve from scratch.

[@sujaykhona7227]

@@bluedeskfan2754 oh no!! i didn't realize this would be a problem - just did some rescaling/framing for a hour and a half long video before sendign to davinci - didn't realize that my clips were very messed up until i graded evertyhing ugh

Thank for this time saving video!!!

[@JS-pm6pd]

Hi, nice video. I have a question. After I have done the color grading and export an xml file and open it in premiere, for some reason the colorgrading is not applied to the clips. It looks like before, footage without colorgrading. You maybe know why?

[@JayLippman]

That's really weird. I'm not sure what the deal is there. I'd have to look at your exact settings.

[@JS-pm6pd]

@@JayLippman Update: I gave up on the xml and exported my short film as DNxHR from Davinci. After that I imported the file into premiere and added subtitles and the credits. Now, in premiere I can see that the files are colorgraded really nice, but when I export the file from premiere, there is, again, no colorgrading applied. ( I exported h264 high bitrate)

[@jasminekim25]

Hey Jay! Thanks for the super helpful video. Just had one question. I always imported my premiere sequence on Davinci and exported the video from there. I was wondering if I import it back to premiere, can I still edit the videos that are graded? So basically, I want to know if the entire clip, and not just the cut/edited part of the clip, is graded. This will really help to make my workflow more efficient.

[@RobOnTheLens]

When I go to export from DaVinci to premiere xml it’s exporting all the clips individually as QuickTime files and not giving me and xml file to import back into premiere

[@JayLippman]

That's really weird. I'd have to look at your settings, but there should definitely be an XML file.

[@mutscot]

Happens to me the same. Could you fixed it at the end?

[@dylanrogersfilm]

Great, handy tutorial here: For some reason on this last export from DaVinci to Premiere an XML file wasn't generated. Considering the whole feature-length film took about 12 hours to export. I wonder if there's a way to just generate that small XML file without starting over with all the clips being exported.

[@HungVo-Orson]

Same problem here. Have you found the solution yet?

[@dylanrogersfilm]

@@HungVo-Orson I just re-exported. Not sure what caused the problem in the first place, whether a glitch or something I overlooked. But I was very careful the next time and it exported correctly.

[@bluerabbit1236]

Just go file, export, timeline after render.

[@SnehithPamarathi]

what if I have multiple timelines in premiere pro and how to get all the timelines from p pro to resolve ?

[@TheShadowedOne1]

Could I ask you a serious question? I have a fully completed short film on Premiere Pro that was shot with my DP's black magic. She lives elsewhere and I can't meet with her in person to do color grading on Davinci Resolve. If I export the XML and send the link to her over Google Drive. Can she access my entire film, do her thing on Resolve, and then send it back to me over Google Drive where I can then export the final cut myself?

[@JayLippman]

Yes, but you also need to send her the original footage. Otherwise she'll be met with a lot of "media offline" errors.

[@LCVFilms]

Great video Jay. Couple of questions: 1) if you were working with someone out of town and they sent you the XML files, do they have to send the footage along with it as well? 2) do you recommend that all transitions and effects are removed before moving the xml files from Premiere to Resolve?

[@JayLippman]

The answer to both questions is yes. You'll need to have the footage for sure. As far as effects and transitions, sometimes they transfer over fine, and sometimes they don't, so I would just save those for after you bring the footage back into Premiere, or I would do the transitions in Resolve when you do the grading.

[@LCVFilms]

I haven't seen that! I do all of my editing in Resolve, so I haven't had a lot of experience moving my clips over from premiere. I would check the Davinci Resolve forum on Blackmagic Design's website. Maybe someone there can help!

[@RykerArt]

All i can say is thanks a lot

[@knurdyob]

good tutorial, but when exporting it using the option to specifically export as a premiere pro xml, wouldn't that make the footage lose quality? because it's actually rendering it, and is then using already rendered footage when you bring it to davinci? I mean this as in I simply started on davinci already and then need to import it to premiere, isn't that what will happen in cases like mine (when people are already working on the project with davinci from the start)? a slight loss of quality? Or is this nonsense

[@JayLippman]

I've never noticed a loss in quality.

[@GoReckless_]

Amazing tutorial, thank you!

[@sim2195]

Incredibly helpful!

[@JayLippman]

Awesome!!

[@wildfishdirect9333]

Jay, thanks for this. Let's say you exported from Premiere via the Final Cut Pro XML into Davinci and found that some of your clips didn't come over due to errors. Or let's say you updated your cut and swapped out a few clips in Premiere and want to bring those into your existing Davinci project. Is there a way to export specific clips or the XML from specific clips into your existing Davinci project? Thanks!

[@JayLippman]

Good question! I'm not sure if you can do that unfortunately.

[@mateodirektor]

Really cool video, what can I do when I worked with Proxies on premiere pro? When I send my xml to davinci, davinci take the Proxies info and when I come back to premiere pro the quality is really bad. Thank you!

[@JayLippman]

Are your proxies no longer linked when they come back to Premiere?

[@eladbari]

Problem is - The XML going back from Davinci > to Premiere isn't just an XML file with information, these are actual rendered video files. This means- you are rendering your raw footage twice for a final render. So, footage with grain effects etc, would probably look horrible being rendered twice...right?

[@eladbari]

I thought you could only export the color grading infromation from Davinci while keeping using the original raw footage... :\

[@JayLippman]

Personally, if I was planning on bringing the footage back into Premiere, I would do all my effects and grain after I brought it back. That way the grain is only being rendered once.

[@eladbari]

@@JayLippman good point. so only do color without effects on Davinci. Only problem is if you edit Super8 film footage, that already has grain built into it :)

[@gabriel.rieper]

Jay, i have a question! :) So, to color grading in the Davinci, if i already have effects applied like transitions or others on my videos, it will works normal when i export for the davinci?

[@JayLippman]

Effects and transitions dont always transfer over properly. I'd do my colorgrading first and then bring it back into Premiere for effects.

[@Marlonorellana]

Jay Lippman so even from sending it to davinci back to premiere the effects get corrupt and no longer when you send it back to premiere?

[@rikorobinson]

Is there a way to export the clips from Premiere with changes? I'm editing braw footage, but obviously, when I export as XML, it's no longer raw footage in Resolve. Which means I lose any changes I made to the raw files, which in turn means for any footage I send to Resolve, I lose the ability to edit the raw files altogether. I'd like to export the XML after making changes to braw. Is this possible?

[@connorrousseau6809]

My friend sent me their xml to color in davinci but all the files cannot be found. Do I need to have the passport with the media files in my computer as well or should it work with just the xml?

[@JayLippman]

Oh yeah you need the original files as well.

[@punknugget561]

Great video! Just transferred one of my edited vid files from Premiere to Davinci and it worked flawlessly! But I will say that Davinci is a CPU HOUND!!! My temps easily went up 10-12C, along with checking iStats in Processes. Davinci was at 400-450% and Premiere was only at 45-50%. That was just having the file open without doing any type of editing. It was STILL sucking up that much processing power. Looks like I'm not going to be using Davinci as my standard editing tool anytime soon. Unless of course there's a way to divert the processing from just the CPU to the GPU. If you know of a way please let me know. Thanks. By the way, I just emailed you and hope we can connect.

[@toastyslab]

Works great for me, however I recommend to all that you do the color grading first. Do not do any of the effects and importing XML will not work with Dynamic link file.

[@BobCorey]

This is nice but can you still trim or add cross fades back in Premiere or you are stuck with those pieces to exactly where they're cut?

[@JayLippman]

You can still do all that stuff back in premiere, but I would do your grading first.

[@BobCorey]

@@JayLippman That's what I am thinking, for example I make the video, add dissolves, colors, and all that, and the client wants changes...would I be able to make those? Could I make a clip bigger while retaining the same grade on that particular piece ? I need to test it out maybe on a small project...

[@hwcentertainment]

So what do you do when you notice a look you don't like when you're back to Premiere? You will do the whole XML process again?

[@JayLippman]

That's up to you, really. You can do that, or you can try and tweak it in Premiere.

[@98dsm]

can we please acknowledge that that footage used is definitely graded and colored.

[@cravingmetal]

[@kirankiranmishra]

What reasons can be for davinci to not expecting files from premiere pro cc 2020 ???

[@JayLippman]

I'm not sure I understand the question.

[@yungdaddydk]

A suggestion/question: With my experience in editing & grading Resolve not only has a better colour rendering engine which give better results in the final export but also has rendering speed way faster than premier so why would you go back to premiere to do the final export?

[@JayLippman]

Don't ask me lol. I use Resolve for everything.

[@betomena1]

Great tutorial. What if I have a Premiere Pro project shot originally in RAW with a flat profile but I already color graded it in Premiere, will it export to DaVinci in its original flat profile without Premier’s color grade? And if not, what do I do to export the footage without Premiere Pro’s color grade and with original flat profile? Thanks.p

[@JayLippman]

If you've already color graded in Premiere, it will bring over the color grade. If you don't want that, you'll need to remove the color grade in Premiere first.

[@jasonkohnke7979]

Jay, can you do a vid or clarify how effects figure into the process? If I have some After Effects sequences, should I send those to Resolve separately and then combine in Premiere for the final Export?

[@JayLippman]

I honestly dont k ow how AE effects would transfer. Typically I do all my effects after color grading anyway, so I've never even worried about it.

[@JohnLampson]

@@JayLippman - I usually find that using the Render and Replace on a finalized AE file in a Premiere timeline (think Dynamic LInk) is the way to go. Then you can (probably) bring that in using the method described here. I'm going to go experiment with it post haste - nice primer. Thank you!

[@JayLippman]

No problem! Let me know how it goes!

[@HVRIS]

I hope this is not a silly question, if I did speed ramping and dissolves in my PP timeline, will that get manipulated in the transfer? Many thanks for making this tutorial!

[@JayLippman]

Not a silly question at all! The answer is most of the time, yes, but sometimes it gets a little wonky. I'd suggest doing the colorgrading before you do any of the effects just to be safe.

[@HVRIS]

If you're animating in premiere first, that's the problem. Try doing that after you bring it back over from Resolve

Question : If we have stabilized a footage in premier, will that stabilize translate into Davinci?

Im not sure for all the stabilizer settings, but if your warp stabilizer is set to change position, scale and rotation only, im pretty sure they are imported as keyframes

But Isn't it less of a hassle to just not include the audio in the first place when bringing it into DaVinci from Premiere (assuming the piece is at “Picture-lock”)? I heard bringing over the audio can cause some issues. If you are just using DaVinci for color grading and bringing it back into Premiere, why bring along the audio?

[@LaszloParkanyi]

I have seen that on the deliver page you just encoded the video clips as default QuickTime .mov files. I wonder if some other less lossy codec would be more appropriate here. After all, clips produced by Resolve are intermediate ones (i.e. they are going to be reencoded by Premiere). And that makes me wonder how hard it would be to generate archive projects of such workflow: Premiere has one archival procedure and Resolve has another, all in all, you will end up with multiple copies of clips.

[@JayLippman]

The files are uncompressed .mov files. You should be fine to work with them. Plus, there shouldnt be much else that you have to do to the clips after you bring them back to Premiere. But yes, you can choose whatever file type you want.

[@malatronika]

@@JayLippman The video clips, is to rare because the audio flies are perfect and I select the folder where are the file and I keep getting the warning :(

[@AliKal]

Same for me. Did you solve this problem?

[@maxrevisa4343]

This is happening to me also any answers yet

[@wallofstone]

Same issue here

[@wOlfsvTV]

why would you colorgrade with filmconvert in davinci when u have filmconvert for premiere pro? :-/

[@JayLippman]

I typically don't use Premiere Pro at all. I just used Filmconvert because it was a quick and easy example. If I was actually using Premiere Pro for my main editing, I would either use Filmconvert for PP or just use the native tools in Davinci for color grading.

Thankyou ❤️

[@JayLippman]

No problem!

[@MikeCrocker]

Thanks for this. Hoping to go full Resolve at some point but it's pretty intimidating, but maybe this can be a nice first step. Wanted to chime in and say that this process doesn't support clips that are slowed down. I kept trying to import my timeline only for it to reject a few clips, and I couldn't relink them either. Took forever to figure out it was rejecting the slowed clips. I'll probably do this once for my main sequence, and then again with my slowmo clips in their own sequence.

[@CadShizzle]

Not too sure, just did a whole project with slowmo footage using this method.

[@MikeCrocker]

@@CadShizzle huh. That's odd. Maybe there's something else I'm doing wrong

[@ConnorLipke]

@@MikeCrocker How are you slowing your footage? Are you importing high frame rate footage and interpreting it to 24fps, or are you using the speed function?

[@MikeCrocker]

@@ConnorLipke I'm importing 120fps footage and slowing it down to 20% or 40%

[@ConnorLipke]

@@MikeCrocker With the speed/duration function? Try going to modify->interpret footage and setting it to a coresponding frame rate for 20 or 40%.

[@matthieuarsonneau502]

is it working with premiere pro proxy???

[@JayLippman]

I don't see why it wouldn't, but I don't know for sure.

[@outsiide.hollywood]

yo i dont have Premiere anymore how do i open my primo working files in DaVinci

[@outsiide.hollywood]

CS6

[@JayLippman]

You can't. You would have to reinstall premiere and then do the steps in this video.

[@michaelmacias8]

When I paste the colored timeline it just pasted the colored timeline over my main timeline. What am I doing wrong?

[@JayLippman]

I'm not sure! I haven't done this in a while. I do all of my editing in Davinci Resolve.

[@AvenidadeLaPaz]

THANKS BRO! sorry to say this but you have the same voice as Jonah Hill :O

[@JayLippman]

🤣😂😂

[@darksidegirl]

Sound is broken when I import it this way. All clips go to the beginning :( they are not cut correctly

[@JayLippman]

Yeah unfortunately the results can be unreliable sometimes.

[@GreateztProductions]

thanks !

[@JayLippman]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@vallabhravan]

Dude what to do for nested files? pls help

[@JayLippman]

Good question. I'm not sure, to be honest. Why are you nesting anything before color grading?

[@vallabhravan]

@@JayLippman I think color grading is last step of editing.

[@musabinho]

Brilliant 👌

[@JayLippman]

Thank you!
