Roundtrip Between Avid and Resolve Pt 1

Having fun trying to get timelines and media to correctly travel back and forth between Avid Media Composer and Davinci Resolve. Watch this video, as we go back and forth several times without issues. Learn what to look out for for a perfect round trip workflow.
Here is Part 2: • Roundtrip Between Avid...

That "Assist using reel names from source file names" is the sweet sauce. I've forgotten to check that little box on numerous projects - then rip my hair out when manually over-cutting my HiRes footage. I've gotten lucky with unlinking and reconforming media, but sometimes, no dice. FYI - To any bonehead (like me) reading this: If you fail to select the parameter that the good folks at TV Tech suggest (TC 5:53), you're not crap outta luck, BUT, you'll have to over-cut AMA's in Avid, shot by shot on an upper video layer, then spit out a new AAF and link to the camera files in Resolve. Anyhoo - bless you, sir, for this clear and concise tutorial. More, more, more!

Tons of relink options in Avid. It just takes a bit to learn and understand them.

So you mean 2 Roundtrips? :D You exported the clips from Davinci for AMC as proxies, and now the actual roundtrip starts (in which most of us are probably interested).

[@glennsakatch7876]

Well the term "round trip" would indicate it does a full circle. From Resolve to Avid, and then from Avid to Resolve. That would be a round trip. (Flying from LA to NewYork is not a round trip, untill you return to LA.😎

[@toxotis70]

can you make a workflow video, only from avid to davici, with braw footage in avid?

[@tvtech4688]

apart from showing how much avid crashes using braw footage, the workflow would be the same. This workflow doesn't rely on any particular codec to relink to. As long as the metadata is maintained during any transcode building process, it should work.

Kudos to camera guy and editor!

[@tvtech4688]

Thanks Louise. Was nice to have something other than Ruby to follow with the new camera gear.:)

What if you need to sync audio first and then need multicam groups in media composer? possible?

[@tvtech4688]

Hi Trel Studios, thanks for the comment. Can you elaborate on your workflow? What would the need be to sync audio first? I'd have to play with it, but I think you might end up with an issue with trying to match frame back to the audio and or original video file...but I usually just sync audio as a secondary process. Let me know your reasoning for doing audio first, and maybe I can give it a shot to see what happens. Always looking for more workflow ideas.

Nice video thanks! I'm trying to figure out the sound I'm hearing in the background, its either a work out Tektronix Scope fan or an LTO drive , it sounds very familiar :)

[@tvtech4688]

Probably is one of my LTO's...but I do have a Tektronix scope as well.
