FCPX 10.0.6 Round Trip to Resolve 9.0.3 Retime clips don’t appear

[Thatcher Kelley] “Just straight conformed retimes from 60fps to 24fps.”

What does this mean?

Did you imbed 59.94 material in a 23.98 timeline (for example), or have those clips been converted to another framebase?

In FCP I have a 23.976 timeline. I have some footage that was shot at 60fps. I used the Retime-Conform Speed command in FCP to slow the frame rate of some of my clips down to 23.976, which showed 40% speed in the Retime Editor. Typically I just do this in Cinema Tools, but it’s been crashing on me lately and I’ve been reading that “Conform Speed” in FCP will do the job just the same.

So then I export an XML from FCP and import it into Resolve as a 23.976 timeline. Resolve recognizes all the clips that don’t have any Retime properties and puts them down on my timeline in the correct places. But any clip that was Retimed in FCP (Both the Conform Speed clips as well as some other clips that had other constant speed Retimes applied) don’t appear in the media pool, nor on the timeline. Even if I put all my source clips in the media pool before the XML import, it still won’t put the retimed clips on the timeline when I import the XML.

I did a test with a Premiere XML conform in Resolve that also had some clips that had time changes. This worked flawlessly. So there is something wrong with Final Cut’s XMLs specifically because Adobe’s worked fine in Resolve.

The time change you are doing does not “bake” the retime into the media correct?

Is “optical flow” applied in this retime? I’ve seen on the forum that that has been causing similar issues…
