How does Resolve interface with Adobe CS5.5?
Posted by Peter Corbett on June 14, 2011 at 7:49 amPosted this on the wrong forum before I found this one.
Just wondering if Resolve software will interface with CS5.5 in any way? The demonstrator at NAB said it had excellent integration with Final Cut but didn’t know about Adobe. I’ve switched from Final Cut to Adobe and don’t want to rush back.
Any ideas from the BMD guys?

No, seriously, Adobe has a great photo app, but editing in Premiere is a little like iMovie, it works out of the box, but you have to stay in its boundaries.
Like the charming fact if you replace footage in the timeline the edl does not update and things like that.
But lets see what FCP will bring or take from the table.
Maybe we all have to go back to AVID to get professional editing and interaction .A slice of color…

June 14, 2011 at 9:50 amOhh…. I think your comments about Premiere are disingenuous. It is so much more than the belittling comments you give it. We use it on network television commercials every day. Where do I start? The integration with After Effects and Photoshop is outstanding, as is the Inscriber-derived character generator, and the Mercury render engine, which is amazingly fast. Something Avid and Apple cannot do.
But saying that, CS5 is not perfect and I still use use Final Cut Pro on a weekly basis. Reading thread responses such as these really irks me.
I’d love to hear why it’s like iMovie, “it works out of the box, but you have to stay in its boundaries.” If I’m working with an iMovie clone, then I must be really dumb doing the sort of work we do.
I wasn’t asking for a critique on Premiere, but whether Resolve will integrate with it.

The Adobe box.
All their apps are designed to work together.
You can drag multilayer images from Photoshop into After effects, animated them, spice them up and so on.
A person familiar with the PS UI will instantly understand it.
Which is also a problem for compositors used to node trees, like me.
The layer structure in AE really confuses me and makes it hard to link expressions to each other or create other dependencies.
I am not saying anything against the obvious Adobe family benefits.
But it was never their intention to have an open system.
So, shouldn’t you ask Adobe when they are adopting de-facto standards like ALE , XML or CMX3600 compliant EDls ?
What you really want is a DaVinci plugin for Premiere I think.
And idea very popular among editors those days.A slice of color…
