    The XML import is getting pretty good in 8.0 and 8.1, and might save some conforming time to use XML instead of EDL.

    To be honest the EDL conform was easy in Resolve.It is much better in 8 though.
    The biggest issue we had was monitoring.We had a Eizo CG241w and then Eizo lent us a CG232W which was great and then it was a matter of test screening our DCP for black levels
