I had to do both in order to get it to work.

Just gave that a try.
Did not work 🙁

I tried those settings earlier in the day. Still didnt fix it.
However, after hours of testing, it turns out it was because if I did not have the mxf files in Avid when I made the AAF, the clips will show up as black instead of Offline when the AAF is loaded in Resolve.
When I got the MXFs into my Avid Mediafiles folder and made an AAF, it showed up as offline clips instead of black if I did not choose “Automatically import clips”. Which is what is needed since I can add the R3D files into the media pool to conform the show.
This is the same with XMLs as well! I made an XML from an FCP project that I did not have the offline quicktime files for. And when I imported that XML into Resolve, it showed as black clips instead of offline.
Funny thing is if I edit the XML and add the to it for each clip, even if the line of text was copied and pasted to a file that doesnt exist, I can then load that XML to Resolve and it will show the clips as offline with the proper reel name and timecode for me to link to the R3D files. Not black clips anymore, yay!
Hope Resolve addresses this issue. Itd be ideal for us just to receive a bin from a client and make our own AAFs or XMLs. There is no reason for Resolve to not show the clips as offline when I do not have the source clips to begin with.

Weird thing is only the clips that were .mxf files in the timeline are black. The quicktime .movs show as offline and can be reconnected with DPX properly named in the reel column.
Why only the .mxf show as black clips instead of offline? They’re the most important to conform.

I already did that in Resolve for it to show the Reel names.
The problem is Resolve isn’t showing these clips as offline, but as black clips instead. Like Slugs in FCP.
