Hey John, are you using the Media Tool? In Media Composer, you cannot import MXF files via File>Import…, because you’ll get that message. You must use the Media Tool, found under Tools > Media Tool. Assuming you’ve put your footage in the “Avid MediaFiles/MXF/[number]” folder, You’ll find your graded footage under the project name you set in Davinci Resolve. From there you can drag it in to your project’s bins.

Depending on what it is you’re trying to do, you can use the “Unmix” tab then click on the lower video clip in the mini timeline to view it.
Edit: Kevin beat me to it!

Davinci Resolve requires a large resolution, I believe something like 1920×1080. However, there seems to be a workaround of sorts. Check out this video. I’m on Windows so I can’t verify, but it looks like it works.

For what it’s worth, if you have access to a nice calibrated monitor (I use an original-model Apple Cinema Display), it’s a much nicer experience and you’re much more likely to get an accurate grade, compared to the Macbook monitors which are all oversaturated and contrasty and weird.

People see the same thing in Avid. In fact, there’s an active discussion about it right now:

Do you have it set up in the Preferences window?

Thanks for taking the time to post your solution. I’m mostly on Windows, but whenever I’m on Mac OS X I seem to have some kind of trouble with CUDA, so it’s good to have another thing to try.

It is, unfortunately. No relation. 😉

Yes! C:\ProgramData\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Support\LUT\CineSpace works. Thank you once again, Mr. Gupta!

If you’re just getting a series of clips (seemingly random order?), make sure that in Resolve you have your edited sequence highlighted, and NOT the Master Timeline, when you export your XML.
If that is not the issue, perhaps you could try exporting an AAF instead of an XML out of Resolve? Or in Premiere Pro, try just importing the original XML (generated from FCP) and then relink the footage to the new graded stuff?
As far as the audio: I could be wrong (I use Avid, not FCP or Premiere Pro very much), but I don’t think you will ever get audio from a Resolve-generated cut list, since Resolve itself ignores the audio from those things. You can either import the FCP-generated XML to Premiere to get the audio back, or render out a mixdown of some sort from FCP and bring them in to Premiere that way.

Resolve looks at which GPU is powering the Windows GUI, and then selects the other one for its image processing. So if you can get Windows to use the integrated GPU, then Resolve will use the Nvidia card for its heavy lifting.
