moving complex avid ds project to davinci… any experiences?
i would like to move a rather complex avid ds timeline (lots of picture in pictures with different source materials – red, dpx, p2…) into davinci resolve.
i wonder if this is possible via aaf or xml? i dunno if avid ds can export xmls (i fear not), but if anyone has moved a ds project to davinci, please share your workflow or problems or success story!

Not a chance… EDL & media only
Not any better with Smoke/Mystika/eQ either… there’s no protocal to move complex comp’s around between any of the finishing systems, you would have the same issues moving nodes from Resolve to DS
Why not grade in DS? it’s more than up to the task….

well, thx for the reply.
we actually did grade the movie already in avid ds, but for final tweaks i would have loved to move it to resolve. avid ds is more than up to grading, that is true and at the same time the “problem”. it is simply not a specialized grading app, and a lot of tasks take longer time to achieve…
but if there is no simple way, i guess we will finish it in ds.

Andy;
yea… Not even a complicated way…. i wish i could fly comps between Nuke & DS too
Grasping at straws.. if it’s 422, one could try to pull each layer seperatly to a MXF file using “timeline to MC”, open up all the timelines in MC, export AAF and see if Resolve can make sense of it… but that’s a bit of a science project at best
Good luck
