Thanks Michael,

This is what i thought…that i needed to import the files first but the problem is, I can locate my “Avid media files” folder in Resolve, then into the respective file folders where my MXF files should be stored but they are empty.

I had another read and I think it is because my footage from Avid is DNxHR, a codec that only the newest Resolve can handle. I’m running Resolve 11.1 and the update is in 11.2

Is there anyway of overcoming this? I need to keep my 4K footage but I’m wondering if there is another way of getting my sequence into Resolve?

Thanks kylee and Shane, this has been a big help!

And I’m glad to know I’m on the right tracks.

So if could just clarify:

I need to grade the 4k footage because this has all the information.

However, how do you propose I get the 4k footage into resolve? What format do you export from avid to then colour in resolve? Silly question maybe but I know some formats and codecs are better for certain things, like the final export.

And then once I’ve colour graded I need to do a final export from resolve. What do you suggest this should be? (Mov?/mp4 – or does that depend on where I am hosting the video?)

Can’t tell you how interesting and helpful this has been, thanks! And Kylee, very good to know about Proress and the loss of quality 🙂
