Tom Evans January 19, 2018 Share January 19, 2018 Is it possible to export a Quick Time Same As Source from Avid Mediacomposer and an EDL for relinking in DaVinci Resolve or is an AAF the way to go? What is the recommended round-tripping to Avid from Resolve without relinking to other media than what is used in the project? I will use the MXF-files in the media folder, not the original RED files. Link to comment Share on other sites
Bruno Mansi January 19, 2018 Share January 19, 2018 No need to export any media from MC as Resolve will happily read the OP Atom files that exist within the Avid Mediafiles folder. Just export an AAF, linked to the media. If you're on the same workstation Resolve should find the Avid media when it imports the AAF. If you're going somewhere else for your grade, you'll need to copy all your Avid media and take it with you. It's likely that the original AAF links to the media will be different on the Resolve setup, so you may need to tell Resolve where the media lives. I've found in these cases it's best to just bring in all the Avid media to the media pool first, and then import the AAF. If there's a lot of media in the Mediafiles folder (most of which isn't needed) you could consolidate first in MC (with a second or so of handles) and then just bring that media to the grade. If you need to go back to Avid for any reason, you've got the choice of exporting the grade as one long clip, or individual OP Atom files which can go back into a numbered folder within Avid Mediafiles/MXF. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites
