Avid AAF to Resolve… Geez I feel stupid
I have a feature Red show on AVID and I’m trying to AAF myself in conform hand having no luck. I do get it to import with red ‘x’s over the whole timeline. I get a familiar number tag at the top right, but it doesn’t make the correct edit when I color.
What’s the right settings for Avid and Resolve? Please someone help me, I’m on a short schedule with this one.

Hope that helps 🙂 -
I read everything there and I still don’t understand the right settings to import an Avid session into Resolve.

Once you export the proper AAF, load the AAF in Resolve.
Itll ask where the original R3D files are so make sure you direct it to the top root of that. -
Sorry for being dense here.. I’m on MC 5 mac
How do you output a aaf “correctly”?
and
Should’t you put the files in the media pool first?

I would suggest double checking the pathname set up on the timeline control options in the config to make sure its reading the reel name of the footage correctly.

If you use the same R3D and ingest into Avid with AMA leaving all folders structures intact (original R3D folders) then all you need to do is export as AAF and make sure to check on “AAF Edit Protocol”.
Now load that AAF doc in Resolve and select the original source clips.
Just in case, make sure to have all tracks hi-lighted in Avid before exporting to AAF.
We use Avid MC Nitris DX on Mac here.
We make copies of the R3D files and so far no problems reading from different copies. -
So be clear… The AVID session footage is MXF. I’m trying to color the mountain of Red files spread cross 3 different drives.
What would be the right settings for AVID AAF, and the right settings for Resolve?

I would need someone else to chime in on the MXF part.
Ive only been going from R3D > Avid AMA > Avid basic edit > Export AAF.
Im sure there is a workflow where you set all your R3D>AMA clips into a Sequence then Transcode for ease of edit but I havent gone that route to date.
