Hello from my new SSHD boot drive. Thanks again for the help.

[Jesse Glucksman]

There’s no specific need to make the partitions, I just had it in my mind to keep the old boot drive as my Time Machine backup just for the boot drive & applications. The second partition being limited to HDD capabilities wouldn’t matter since the hybrid benefits would be only for the applications on the boot partition anyway.

But again, that’s not actually important. I don’t mind reformatting it back to one partition.

And yeah, it’s a Seagate SSHD. Thank you both for the information and guidance. I think I’ll go with SuperDuper! since you both agree on that one.

So I have the film up in Premiere, linked to the r3d files. I export an XML but when I import that into Resolve it’s just a blank timeline. I have literally never used Premiere before today (other than 12+ years ago back in college, when Media 100 was the preferred NLE). Am I missing something about the XML export procedure?

[Jesse Glucksman]

Sounds good, thank you. When did Mavericks pass muster? Last I checked was maybe 6-8 months ago and no one really said one way or the other, but then I saw in the Resolve config guide just yesterday that they’re recommending it…

Can I take that to mean that v11 won’t function with the 570?

Is the Mac too old for a Titan Black, or do you mean that the 680 is the least expensive one that’ll work with the current version?

I may end up just putting in my 780 for my jobs…

Thanks, I’m mainly focused on figuring out the best way to get from DaVinci back to the edit program the project came from, and not necessarily going from one editor to another.

[Jesse Glucksman]

That sort of raises an interesting question, though. If I render as “Final Cut Pro XML Roundtrip” or “Avid AAF Roundtrip” DaVinci will automatically create an XML or AAF. Are those, as a rule, to be ignored in favor of manually exporting one from the Edit Page? Or should I do that only in cases like this, where the automatically created XML isn’t what I need it to be? Is there another way for after the render, other than right-clicking on the timeline icon on the Edit page, to manually export an XML/AAF?

[Jesse Glucksman]

Fair point. I got lucky that the editor made the AAF correctly so everything went well. Thanks.

[Jesse Glucksman]

Thanks. Importing the AAF went through perfectly the editor had already transcoded to DNxHD prior to making the AAF. DaVinci linked up with no problem once I got it in there.

[Jesse Glucksman]

Cool, thank you for that. My mistake for thinking a media-included AAF would work. I may have to try your suggestion, but–

I also had the editor send the media with a data-only AAF as well. The issue here is that he edited with the footage (DSLR) linked via AMA and then consolidated/transcoded to DNx for delivery to me. DaVinci isn’t able to automatically relink to the new transcodes because avid always adds a bunch of numbers to the file names. Do you think there’s anything I can do with that situation, or is importing into Avid the media-included AAF the best option?

Thank you.
