    Hey Everyone,

    Im currently trying to send an EDL from Premiere to Resolve, however, everytime I do I have an extra black solid in the start of the EDL. There is no such thing in my Premiere sequence, does anyone know why this is?

    Is this the same EDL you tried putting into Speedgrade? Do you have mixed framerates? Like a 29.97 clip in a 23.976 EDL?

    No this is a different EDL, but I did realize that there was a gap left open in my sequence thus the solid, Im quite new to EDLs so I over looked somethings. However, Im still having issues with my red footage in speedgrade, it still wont work.

    Once the EDL is loaded in Speedgrade, have you tried dragging clips from the “desktop” (thumbnail view) directly onto the red colored cuts to perform your conform? I wonder if there is some kind of conflict between clips causing it to freak out when performing a batch confom that tries to link everything at once.

    When I just drag the clips from the desktop the clip itself works, however again the EDL clip doesnt, my two Mark 3 footages in the EDL work. Another error I keep getting when I reconnect the Mark 3 footage i get some of the reels do not match your current frame rate”, I have double checked my sequence settings in Premiere and footage settings and the settings in Speedgrade. The videos are all 24fps and so is the base frame rate in speedgrade.

    Do this, create a sequence in Premiere, 23.976 and add one red clip (I assume 23.976), make sure Speedgrade is 23.976, not 24, and try to conform this very simple EDL.

    Speedgrade won’t deal with mixed frame rates but Resolve will… just with some major headaches. Out of range errors are usually due to these.

    Post your EDL as a dropbox link or something and I’ll try to eyeball it today.

    Would the fact that my footage is 5k and is scaled down in Premiere have anything to do with it not working?

    I did all that you mentioned and alone the red files work but when they are with mark 3 footage the footages dont link. I then went and set up two sequences with just Red footage, made an EDL and went into speedgrade it all works fine.

    Could it be because my Mark 3 footage states that it is 23.976, im confused cause 23.976 is the same as 24fps.

    No it isn’t.

    Well I went into premiere and set my sequence up as 24fps, I then put in my red footage which is 24fps and my mark 3 footage (which was shot 24fps but in premiere it shows that it is 23.976fps). I then made an EDL took it to speedgrade linked the red footage and now that works perfectly however when I linked the mark 3 footage it told “me some of the reels do not match your current frame rate”. But both are playing fine, will this affect my final output, should I be worried about this warning about the mark 3 footage?
