automatic duck will convert the sequence for you, but you will be on your own for all the bin and folder structures.

Sadly Windows doesn’t allow that. I forgot about Mac doing that. A small difference, but a bit of a pain in the butt.

also, if you can post one of the smaller video files that resolve output somewhere, I’d be happy to see if I can get it to load…our output a 2 second section from Resolve and upload that.

Make sure its a video file, not an audio file. It should have the V01 in the file name, not the A01 or A02.

You might want to try to a local drive instead. Something is clearly off with the permissions to that drive. Avid seems to have permissions to write to it, as it created the “1” folder. I’m not sure why the Resolve media isn’t behaving.

Next troubleshoot step would be to copy your resolve media to a local drive.

Same thing…if you don’t already have an mxf/1 folder structure on the local drive, get avid to create one, using the same technique, then copy your resolve renders into that folder.

(You tell avid to create the media on a specific drive by selecting that drive when Avid asks where to render the file to, or on import, what drive you want to import the media to.)

I don’t think you will find going to FCP any easier. The issue is probably with that drives setup. I go from Resolve to Avid all the time. The media Resolve is creating will be compatible. Avids issue is not being able to build a database, which is probably still some permission setting.

Try going to a local drive.

Ok, good. Thats just the viewer settings for within Avid. It helps if your system is having trouble playing through footage or effects.

Had you output a file from within Avid, everything would have looked fine.

Simply this whole thing to figure out what the issue is.

Move your Resolve media to a folder called “Project_Name” from Resolve.

Move those 1 level up from the MXF folder.(or just delete them…we’ll recreate them later)

Make sure there is now no MXF/1 folder.

Go to Avid and import a still into your project. Tell Avid to create that media on the external drive you are using.

Does this create a “1” folder now?

If not there is a permissions issue with that drive.
If yes, go back to resolve and select an avid round trip preset in the delivery page and tell it to render to that “1” folder. No subfolders, just straight into that “1” folder.

Launch Avid. Hopefully Avid will now rebuild the database and you can import that database to get your media.

At this point you can delete those original renders out of Resolve.

should work. Double check the quicktimes he is outputting. If you open them in quicktime player, or even back in After effects, they look OK and are the correct size?

Your import settings are set to the correct size?

Pixelated could mean Avid is blowing up the file to fit the rastor size.

Glenn

[Glenn Sakatch]

is this an external drive?
I’m wondering if you have a permissions error. Avid needs to be able to write to the drive to rebuild the database

Did the title you created and render to that drive at least show up in the folder structure?

Glenn

[Glenn Sakatch]

you said you rendered out dnxhd. Was this in a quicktime wrapper or mxf?

Are you planning on sending your “basic graded” shots to another house for final grade?

Not ideal.
