    Hi,

    I want to edit a 30min show in FCPX. ProRes and AVCHD-Files. I´m planning to do a basic grade in Resolve and then consolidate the whole Project in Resolve to DNxHD, because the final grade and master will be done in another house.

    Will this work well, or are there any major obstacles?

    Is this question too difficult, too obvious, too stupid? Or why do I get ignored?

    Not dumb at all.
    At times the COW tends graze at other posts 😉

    Yes Ive moved massive projects from FCPX to Resolve then exported AAF to Avid MC.

    Now these were Audio Sync clips and not edited footage but it still transferred well.

    Are you planning on sending your “basic graded” shots to another house for final grade?

    Not ideal.

    Test the workflow by prepping 1 minute of material and take it all the way through, and see how it goes. I don’t see an issue per se, but there are always potential problems when handing off a project from one kind of editing software to another. Things change.

    thanks for your answers!
    I know the workflow is not ideal, but thats how the client wants to do it.
    But we will apply the basic grade only for preview, the client gets the ungraded version after that.
    I´ll do the test run, good idea.

    I use this workflow fairly often. The only thing to watch out for is how Resolve assigns tape/reel name to your exported DNxHD. I always check off “ASSIST USING REEL NAMES FROM THE”/”SOURCE CLIP FILE NAME” in the conform options window.
