Premiere Pro Roundtrip Davinci Resolve Lite

Hey guys,
I'm having some problems with my XML export to Davinci Resolve Lite. I can color grade, and everything is fine until I import my XML into Davinci. No errors at all, but the footage is all misaligned and my transitions are all out of wack. It's not how I cut it in the timeline at all.
Do I need to convert the XML to something more FCP or AVID friendly?
I'm editing on Premiere Pro CC. I'm hoping there is an easy fix that I have overlooked so I don't have to start my color grading from scratch.
Thanks.

  • Premiere Pro and Davinci Resolve?

    Hello
    as a ex-Final Cut Pro editor coming to Premiere Pro, the only thing that I'm missing is Apple Color. I mainly edit h264 Canon 7D and 5D files now directly in Premiere Pro. I'm thinking about using Davinci Resolve to color correct my footage. Is there any one who use Resolve with Premiere Pro? Can you export Premiere Pro project and color correct it directly in Resolve? Is there some issue with it?
    Thanks for you help,
    Philippe

    I've just finished a 45min documentary with Premiere Pro and Davinci Resolve. Here are a few informations:
    If you want to keep you effect like dip to white it's best to export your Premiere Pro sequence as a Final Cut Pro XML. The problem then is that Resolve 8 needs a XML FCP version 5 file and currently Premiere Pro export it as a version 4. So you need to open the sequence with Final Cut Pro, then reexport it as a XML FCP v5 file and then you can import it into Resolve. It seems that Adobe is working on a fix for that.
    For rendering and exporting back to Premiere Pro, you can use the preset "FCP7 XML roundtrip" on the render page and then I export the project in the conform tab in Resolve. The XML file can then be read by Premiere Pro directly.
    You could start by exporting a AAF file from Premiere Pro but it seems that there is less special effect (dip to white for exemple) that is supported, and it takes so long to export as AAL and then I didn't find a way to import it correctly into Resolve 8.
    One problem to watch out for is that you can't have two different clips with the same file name (on a different directory). For Premiere Pro it's not a problem but when you try conform you XML file, Resolve looks for the clip and it doesn't necessary find the good one. I did have that kind of problem with Color, so I didn't paid attention to that, but for my documentary project, I had at least 5 times a file with the name MVI_0001.mov and Resolve mess it up.
    Hope this helps...

  • Premiere Elements 12 and Davinci Resolve Lite

    I'm reaching out to see if anyone is currently using Davinci Resolve Lite along with PE12.
    Can't seem to find any info regarding a Workflow of color correcting / editing using these two programs.
    There are several regarding Premiere Pro, but not PE.
    As I have reviewed several Davinci tutorials and even have gone through their 754 pg manual, the references are to PremierePro and FinalCut, understandably.
    A lot of it seems to revolve around the fact that exports are done using XML, EDL, CDL, etc. formats, which I don't believe PE has the ability to import.
    But, there is no mention if there are other export formats that could be utilized in PE.
    In any event, if anyone is using Davinci with PE, I would appreciate some input regarding your Workflow.
    Regards,
    -Vito 

    ATR -
    Yes I contacted Davinci directly and they basically have 3 avenues for providing information for the Lite version; Hands-on, Manual or Forum.
    I presented the question in their forum as well (no response yet), but I was really hoping to get a bit more feedback here in the PE forum since my question pertains specifically to Premiere Elements.
    My goal was to perhaps find someone in this forum that is actually implementing a Workflow with both programs.
    I do not have any "hands-on" experience with Davinci, but it's my understanding that the Lite version is very powerful and color corrects better than PE.
    That would be apparent too, since many Premiere Pro and Final Cut editors use the Lite version over tools in their respective programs.
    Without hands on experience I can only quote the exports mentioned above which I reviewed in the Manual.
    Google hasn't provided anything promising as it relates to these 2 programs specifically either

  • Upgraded to 10.10.1. Can't use Davinci Resolve lite now. DPDecoder keeps quitting unexpectedly.

    Davinci Resolve Lite will open but will not display video. Worked fine before the upgrade to 10.10.1
    I have reported to apple but I desperately need to finish my project! Can anyone help?

  • Will Premiere Pro CS5.5 resolve the problem of editing Panasonic 1080/60p footage?

    According to Adobe....the following is a CS5.5 feature:
    Native AVCHD support
    Import and natively edit AVCHD content from Sony, Panasonic, and Canon cameras without transcoding or rewrapping the content. Use the Media Browser to browse clips and view metadata — including metadata from Panasonic AVCCAM cameras.
    However, does this mean we can natively edit footage shot at 1080/60p on the Panasonic (TM-700, TM-900) or are we still stuck with needing to "unwrap" this footage because of Panasonic's proprietary compression system on the 60p footage?
    I'd love to buy one of those camcorders but if its going to be a pain to edit in Premiere Pro...then maybe I'll wait or get some other brand that doesnt require all this hassle.
    Can anyone provide some feedback?  Adobe?

    Thanks. I will do that to create the sequence in Premiere.
    As for burning 720p60 on Blu-Ray, it seems a shame to start with 1920x1080 clips and end up with only 1280x720 on the screen.
    But you are probably right to avoid interlaced material.
    But will a disk burned at 1080/60i really be interlaced since both fields will have been recorded at the same instant of time when using 1080p60 clips to start with? Especially with recent 240 Hz TV using some form of frame interpolation.
    I guess one can but try and judge with his eyes.

  • Workflow Premiere Pro und DaVinci // ProRes oder nativ?

    hello zusammen
    hab nun jahrelang mit fcp7 gearbeitet und bin nun mit dem umstieg auf premiere beschäftigt. generell kein problem, wenn man bereits mit anderen adobe-programmen gearbeitet hat. eigentlich eine sehr sympathische sache, dieses premiere =) meine gradings mache ich immer mit davinci. bei fcp7 hat der workflow wunderbar funktioniert, hatte selten irgendwelche probleme. mit adobe hab ich das zuerst mit xml probiert, was aber nicht funktioniert hat. per edl funktioniert aber alles wunderbar, wenn man zuerst die files in den mediapool von davinci importiert. so weit so gut.
    wie handhabt ihr das mit den codecs? früher hab ich das immer mit prores gemacht, läuft (natürlich) in fcp super, ebenso in davinci. meine kiste ist genug schnell (3.4 ghz intel core i7, 16 gb ram) im nativ zu schneiden mit premiere (hab ich auch probiert, funktioniert super). arbeite meistens mit einer fs700, also hab ich mit .mts files zu tun. weiss jemand, wie davinci mit diesen files umgeht? vorher hats auf die schnelle nicht wirklich geklappt, hab aber auch grad kein grösseres projekt zur hand für nähere tests. wenn davinci nur mit prores umgehen kann, wie geht ihr da vor beim workflow premiere-davinci vor? irgendwie möcht ich das umrechnen möglichst vermeiden.. ansonsten einfach sequenz als prores exportieren, in davinci graden und back to premiere, dort finalisieren? was habt ihr für erfahrungen gemacht mit dem workflow? hab da schon viel nachgeforscht und es wird überall etwas anders gehandhabt.. hab bis jetzt noch nicht den "richtigen" weg gefunden, wie ich den bei fcp7 hatte.. bin um jeden input dankbar! cheers =)

    The problem is likely with FCP, which has a habit of transcoding the original media, sometimes to codecs that simply do not work on a PC.

  • Sending Premiere Pro sequence to Pro Tools for automatic audio conforming

    I’m looking to implement an online-offline workflow at my production company, and I’m trying to figure out if it’s feasible to send a sequence from Premiere Pro to Pro Tools with enough metadata to take advantage of Pro Tools’ automatic conforming feature.
    Premiere Pro or Audition doesn't seem to have any kind of feature like this, so I’m turning to Pro Tools. Here’s a demonstration of the feature from Avid: http://youtu.be/Gz9e9LuIdXU
    For color grading, we’re already sending XML from Premiere Pro into DaVinci Resolve, and DaVinci Resolve perfectly automatically conforms the offline proxies to online high-quality clips suitable for grading. I’m trying to accomplish the same thing with the audio clips to prepare a sequence for sound mixing. The offline proxies in a sequence contain only compressed stereo tracks, but online audio clips have all of the separate uncompressed tracks for each microphone.
    My initial thought was that, before any offline editing occurs, I might, in the Premiere Pro Metadata panel, add the names of the sound rolls to all the offline proxies in the “Tape Name” field.
    I’m wondering if that metadata for those clips in the Premiere Pro Project Panel are included in an EDL that would be exported out of Premiere Pro, so that Pro Tools would know how to correctly choose online audio clips.
    I know EDLs contain timecode, and that seems like it would be sufficient for Pro Tools, if production only occurred within one day. However, if there are audio clips recorded on different days, at the same time of day, some audio clips in a sequence would have identical timecode, and Pro Tools wouldn’t know which clip to automatically conform. It seems like Pro Tools would choose which clip to conform by first looking at timecode, and then if there were multiple clips with the same timecode, it would resolve the conflict by identifying the specific sound roll. This is why it seems important to have the sound roll metadata included in the EDL out of Premiere Pro.
    EdiLoad looks like software that might be able to batch update sound roll metadata for an EDL already exported out of Premiere, but I’m not sure.
    http://www.soundsinsync.com/products/ediload
    Manually going through Pro Tools and assigning correct sound rolls in a picture-locked cut wouldn’t really be an improvement over manually conforming. If I have to go through a cut and locate online audio clips, I might as well just conform manually.
    So my questions are:
    When exporting an EDL out of Premiere, does the EDL include “Tape Name” metadata for Pro Tools to read as a sound roll? If not, is there another format I could use that would make this round-trip feasible?
    If not, does anyone have experience with EdiLoad? Would EdiLoad work to do what I'm trying to do?
    Is there any other way to accomplish automatic conforming, or something else that I'm missing?
    -- Seth.

  • Should I color correct in Premiere Pro or something else?

    Hey guys, I'm an experienced noob in digital video production. I learned on using an HD camera and Final Cut Pro 7 in my communications class. But now that I graduated, I bought myself a t3i and the adobe creative cloud. My question is, should I color correct in Premiere Pro or another suitable program (the only one I sort of know is Davinci Resolve lite)? Sure, I know it can be done in Premiere Pro, but I was wondering if there is a better alternative that I should focus my learning in for color correction. Thanks in advance!

    It will do you till you get there.
    A comprehensive study of CC / Grading techniques and theory ...will do more good than just learning how to work a CC Grading software application.

  • FCP X can't find clips exported from Davinci Resolve

    Doing a roundtrip from FCP X to Davinci Resolve Lite and back.  XML imports into Resolve OK, then I render the media and export an XML from Resolve to the same folder.
    When I import the XML from Resolve into FCP X, it imports the timeline but just black media -- in Events, there are green rectangles with the names of the "old" clips, meaning what they were called in FCP to begin with. However, Resolve has rendered them with "V1-0001" appended to the name of the clip.  I have tried this with several different Resolve settings ("Render clips with unique names" both on and off.)
    Any way in FCP X to "reconnect media" as there used to be?

    Yes, I imported them. They appear as separate clips (that is, separate from the blank ones that come in with the XML).

  • Premiere Pro CS6 to DaVinci Resolve Workflow

    In his article at the link below, Walter Bicardi notes that because of errors generated when he attempted to export an EDL from Premiere Pro CS6 for import into Resolve, the EDL kept causing Resolve to crash and he had to send a flattened file of his timeline to Resolve and then use Resolves auto-scene detect feature to chop up the flattened file. He then sent a flattened file back to PP CS6.
    http://www.biscardicreative.com/blog/2012/07/continuing-tales-of-an-fcp-switcher-cs6-workf low-for-now/
    Is this the only way to send a project to Resolve from PP CS6? Is it possible to use XML, AAF, or EDL export to send the timeline to Resolve, or does this feature of PP simply not work the way it is supposed to? Or is the problem with Resolve?
    Any information on how to export the timeline to Resolve without resorting to a flattened file would be greatly appreciated. The flattened file approach would work to a degree, but it is not really an adequate workflow in this day and age.
    Thanks,
    Kevin

    I have been giving DaVinci Resolve 9 (Lite) a trial run this week.
    So far, I have noticed it handles FCP-style XMLs better than EDLs. As long as you strip out any APP-based effects (Warp Stabiliser etc), and any Dynamic Links (AFX) it seems to handle general dissolves/levels just fine. I haven't tried it with mixed codecs yet (I've tried H264, XDCAM, ProRes and DPX so far). One potential work around, if you want to convert your entire timeline to DPX and not use Scene Detect, is click 'Send to Speedgrade'. It generates labelled bins with DPX sequences for all your clips. If it's short-form but high quality (say an ad for broadcast), you can swap the files around in the Conform room in DaVinci.
    I noticed a few bumps with the EDLs, namely the timecodes not syncing up properly. This might be due to the footage (the project I tried had been shot on a 5D). Hence using the XMLs instead.

  • Problems on new mac pro with Blackmagick DaVinci Resolve. Others have found the same problems?

    The purchase of the new mac (D700x2, 32Mb RAM, 1TB SSD) cost me a lot of money.
    It was intended for use with Adobe Premiere, After effects, Photoshop, and Da Vinci Resolve Blackmagic 10.
    I unwisely upgraded to Mac OS 10.9.3 (hoping that with the new drivers the machine would improve its poor performance).
    A glaring error.
    At the time the workstation is just a pretty ornament because for my job (which I do for more than 20 years old) is completely unusable.
    The machine crashes constantly in DaVinci Resolve.
    All of this is putting a strain on my patience and the patience of my clients.
    I hope that Apple is aware of the situation clearly enough, and assume that for once his responsibilities working to resolve as quickly as possible these unacceptable problems.
    I've always been an Apple customer and "friend" of Apple but this situation is not acceptable.
    Before creating advertising slogans you should create products able to function.
    What is the point of all banchmarks DaVinci Resolve ppoi if the machine is not able to run it for a professional use?
    I beg you: do not slogans and more substance.
    are really very frustrated

  • How to roundtrip and transcode footage for Davinci Resolve and others

    Hello,
    I'm cutting a project using multiple codecs in Premiere CC, but I want to grade it in Davinci Resolve- a software that can't handle MXFs and MP4s and H264s in the same sequence. My colorist is asking for a sequence in a single codec- preferably Pro Res.
    I'm trying to do the equivalent of "Media Manager" in FCP to simultaneously move and transcode the footage from my finished sequence to a new location, but I'm having trouble finding this.
    The "Project Manager" feature in Premiere Pro CC was incredibly buggy.  It took 15 minutes to export a test sequence that was 15 seconds long and it didn't even trim my clips- even though I selected that box. This took up a ton of hard drive space.  More importantly:  It doesn't give me the option to transcode on export.
    Does anyone know if this feature exists?  I'm a professional editor and Premiere needs to play nice in finishing if I'm going to continue to use it.

    Hi psion99,
    Sorry that you didn't have a great experience with the Project Manager. It does work with some caveats.

    Yes, it takes awhile to copy the clips with Long GOP codecs. With footage like you are describing, Premiere Pro must copy the entire piece of media because of the codec. If you shot, say, ProRes in an ARRI Alexa camera, the Project Manager would only copy what you needed (plus handles) instead.
    ProRes in an intraframe codec which allows the consolidation of media. Since Long GOP footage requires surrounding frames, you cannot consolidate it (therefore, requiring the entire media).
    Do you recall that FCP could not playback Long GOP footage natively? It could not. In FCP 7 or earlier, Long GOP footage had to be transcoded to ProRes so it could be handled in the timeline. FCP's Media Manager seems faster because all the footage got sent through Log and Transfer making it into intraframe footage, which can be consolidated and exported quickly. In fact, the Project Manager is equally snappy if you only include intraframe footage.
    You do have a point regarding managing the media and transcode it to a new codec. Please make a feature request: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
    Most people that want to consolidate footage in Premiere Pro transcode the footage before starting the edit. It would be nice to be able to manage that media and transcode it at the same time.
    Hope that helps explain things.

  • Why do the MP4 files that I import to Premiere Pro CC have unsynced audio? (Resolved)

    I have identified and resolved.the issue. There is a bug with how Premeire Pro handles importing videos with variable frame rate.
    Community Memeber Walter.Johnson found a work-around at the bottum of this post, which also has the identification and submission of the bug itself:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1110005?start=40&tstart=0
    I had to convert the video with "constant framerate" selected in handbrake. I'm believe the ffmpeg CLI equivilant switch is "-cfr" but I have not tested to be sure.
    I can now import videos with synced audio!
    I have recorded several hours of footage using a program called XSplit (a screen recording tool).
    The files are recorded in a FLV format and I then convert them to MP4 as premiere pro cant read then in FLV.
    In a MP4 format I can import the files into Premiere Pro CC and the video looks perfect, but the audio is unsynced. It is also unsynced in non-linear way so it is not something that I can simply unlink and adjust to compensate as it would have to be done manually every minute.
    If I import these same MP4s into other video editing programs they import perfectly fine and have no audio sync issues what-so-ever. I only experience this issue in Premeire Pro CC. I can even tested these videos in 6 different media players and they play perfecly fine.
    If I convert the files to AVI using ffmpeg or ffmpeg assisted tools it will not import into Premiere Pro CC and gives a "unsupported format or damaged file" error. Once again, this avi can be played and edited in several other programs no problem.
    Here are the details about one of these files:
    VIdeo Codec: H.264/MPEG-4 AVC
    Video: 1280x720
    Audio Codec: mp4a: MPEG-4 ACC LC
    Audio: 44100hz 63 kb/s tot , stereo (2/0)
    Anyone have any ideas on why the audio is becomming de-synced in Premiere Pro CC only?

    I'm happy to announce to you all that my "mp4 importing" issues has been sorted out. Now I import mp4 shot with the same Windows Phone 8 Device into Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. Only that for the moment, it doesn't play as fast as with ordinary player.
    But how did I get it to work, you may wonder;
    I simply installed Itunes on the system, I also installed an app called media monkey. I can't say which of the apps did the magic but the next time I tried to import mp4 files into Premiere Pro after these installations, it imported seamlessly.
    Obviously there's a link between the required codecs and the itunes itself.
    You may want to try it and hope it works for you.
    Kindly inform us if it works.
    Thank you all.
    Cheers.

  • Resolve/Premiere Pro CC 14/AE Linked Comp Round Trip Workflow Q's

    Hi All,
    I started using Premiere Pro for a project I just wrapped editing.  I switched from Avid because I knew I'd be doing a bunch of comping in AE.  Here is what I've done so far:
    1. Resolve: BMCC/BMPCC Raw files converted to Proxy and exported AAF DNxHD 36 files (originally was going to use Avid)
    2. Premiere: Edit footage and during editing created numerous linked AE Comps.
    3. Premiere: Finished the cut and am now attempting to determine how to relink the AE comps to the RAW footage to grade and send back to Premiere/AE.  I've used an XML to relink to source camera files in Resolve with no issue outside of some effects not supported and the AE Linked Comps.
    I understand this is going to be a bit of a manual process but here is what I'm thinking:  log each clip used in AE manually, grade the footage in resolve, export as lossless a file as possible (DPX?) and use the 'replace' function in AE to replace the proxy files with the graded footage.
    Any tips on how to make this a bit smoother? 
    Thanks!

    I want to dynamically link from from PR > AE > PR.
    You can't.  Dynamic Link is a one way trip, from PP to AE, or from AE to PP.  But it stops after one link.
    Instead of importing the project to AE, do a Replace with AE Comp on the desired clips in the sequence.
