Hi Scott,

I know this thread is from a while back but I’ve run in to a similar issue and was wondering if you might have some input.

I’m working on a film that is shooting on an older model of the Arri Alexa that is recording both Uncompressed HD (.dpx), as well as ProRes 4444 proxies.
I’m currently trying to set up the project for the editor in Avid and my plan was to ingest and transcode the ProRes proxies to DNxHD36 for an offline workflow, then export an AAF for resolve and relink the sequence to the Uncompressed HD.
The problem is, I’ve tried a test on this and I can’t get the sequence to relink to the uncompressed files in resolve. The file names of the DPX are slightly different than the ProRes footage. (i.e. DPX = C001_B002R1YD , ProRes = B002C001_160612_R1YD)
The DPX files will show up into the media pool and I can color with them just fine. I just can’t relink to my sequence.
I also noticed that the source timecode on the DPX files is about 2 frames off from the Pro Res files. I’ve tried reseting the timecode of the DPX clips to match the ProRes clips in DaVinci, but that didn’t work. I’ve also tried various changes to the conform settings.
I’m hoping I can avoid having to transcode the DPX files themselves since that would eat up so much time.

Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.
