Marking IN and OUT points on multiple clips…

[Jeremy Garchow]

By the way, another reason Resolve writes in the original file name is to help with relinking back to the R3Ds in other applications, should you ever need it.

Resolve has ways to relink with or without file extensions, but for purposes of compatibility, I’d leave the file name alone as the XML is actually correct in this case.

So just edit the XML as a text file?

I will warn you that this will be time-consuming for 300 clips. Rerunning the rendered clips and FCPXML through Resolve a second time is essentially instant.

I use Text Wrangler, yes. You can even find/replace.

Just dupe the original XML, and edit the dupe, and reimport. If you need help, you can hit me up.

It might not be. Depending on the reference formats, you can easily find all instances and replace all instances in the format area. Keep all the ID numbers the same, and simply reimport he now properly formatted XML.

You aren’t changing the clips, you are just changing a reference format for the clip.

I have fun with Oxygen as far as XML goes.

Question, what about importing the XML from FCPX, creating a new Timeline in Resolve, then copy/paste from XML to Timeline.

Would this fix any oddities with the Resolve XML?

Im throwing darts here blindfolded since Ive been in XML hell with FCPX/Premiere/Xto7/Resolve the last few weeks for a full feature 😛

My above workflow works great for fixing my audio sync issues during rough cut delivery.
