  • Resolve render shorter clips than original!

    Posted by Hal Ray on March 1, 2016 at 6:37 pm

    Hello,
    I need your help.
    This is urgent.

    I exported a finished timeline from Final Cut X to Davinci Resolve 12 via XML (XML v7 I think).
    then graded in davinci resolve and export final cut round-trip preset with individual clips setting. (DNxHD 180 MOV format)

    FCX won’t open the xml file.
    I had to manually insert the graded clips to the timeline but found that all the clips are a bit shorter than the original clips!!!
    I have few clips that are full second short and thus not usable!

    the project shot with BMCC, go pro 3 and sony rx100 m2
    what is wrong?
    Please I need your help as soon as possible.

    Possibly a handles issue. Check your handles setting in Resolve – maybe it’s not set, maybe it’s set too high or too low?

    Do you have consistant frame rates between projects?

    Definitely check the handles and the project frame rates as mentioned above.

    Having good sized handles is particularly important if you have done any time remapping. There is always a chance for discrepancies between Resolve and your editing software when it comes to time remapping/warping. Having a decent handle length (I use 2 seconds) generally avoids these issues.
