conforming a 29.97 EDL
I’m trying to import a 29.97 based EDL into Resolve. But there is only a conform option for 30. The only option I see is to render the clips themselves as 30 or 29.97, but that affects their TC source metadata.
Starting with a single AVID test clip, I rendered 4 tests from 2 EDL’s.
30 DF – rendered at 29.97
30 DF – rendered at 30
30 NDF – rendered at 29.97
30 NDF – rendered at 30However none of them are identical to the source clip. Either the TC in/out metadata is wrong or the framerate is wrong. Anyone used this for 29.97 broadcast work?
(the orange clip is the source clip, the 4 below it are the test clip renders of it.)

Yes I have done 29.97 broadcast work.. It took some testing and time getting the settings all worked out.
Does the conform from edl work and give you a correct time line?
When rendering give this a try.
On the render page select: use prefix,suffix, no. of digits from source.Darin Wooldridge

Yes, the resolve timeline is identical to the Avid timeline (in terms of timecode at least.)
And yes I am rendering with that “use prefix… ” checked already.Again the clips are always correct in terms of length and content, but in the metadata either the framerate or the TC in/out gets hosed.
I’m testing a workaround to render all clips at 30fps as quicktimes, use FCP’s cinematools to reconform them to 29.97, then ingest them back into Avid to create MXF’s with the proper metadata.
I’ll report back if it works, but I’d love to know if you have accomplished this any cleaner?

Solved by rendering to QT and then using metacheater to build ALE files.
