    Has anyone gotten AAF to work properly? I’m bringing stuff in from Avid (with plugin installed), but can’t seem to bring it in..

    Errors I get:
    Multilayer video track encountered, only the background layer will be imported.
    IAAFSelector is not supported in this release, object ignored.
    No input clip found for speed control operation, a black clip is inserted instead.
    There is no item before or after the transition.

    Anyone have any experience with this?

    Yes I have been using this a bit. I have found that the best way to get a sequence across is to make it as simple as possible. For a start Resolve only wants one video track so in avid sub off just V1. Also remove all effects. Or I now add edits on V2 wherever there is an effect on V1 and move the effect up to V2 that way when I bring the grade in from resolve it can slot it in underneath and the effect (eg resize) will now effect the graded version.

    I have also found that checking ‘AAF Edit Protocol’ on the avid export helps. I export an AAF choosing to ‘Consolidate Media’ to the same folder as the AAF. In resolve I add all those clips to the media pool and then import the AAF.

    So yes this does work but you need to try to keep things nice and simple.
