Confirming that this has solved my problem! Thank you so much!

Gone for me, too. Hopefully it’ll be back by the time it’s out of beta! That was a huge thing for me.

Resolve embeds the tape name for me. Note that the “Tape Name” in Avid is the same thing as the “Reel Number” in Resolve. So in Resolve, do your source clips show the correct tape name in the “Reel No” column? Or is it blank? Because Resolve carries that information over to the new MXFs it renders.
EDIT: If Resolve does not show the proper reel number/tape name for your source clips, you’ll need to fix that before you render out. Go over to your media pool in the Browse tab, highlight your clips, right-click them and choose “Set Reel Number.” You’ll have several options to choose from. If you’re importing MXFs from Avid, you can probably choose “Embedding in source clip” to get the right tape name. If you’re using something that isn’t MXF (like AMA-linked footage in Avid), you’ll have to set them manually, or you have a few other options if you refer to the Resolve manual on the subject.

Again, you do not need a new AAF if you have not changed your edits in Resolve. You can simply export the new MXFs using unique filenames, bring them in to your project via the Media Tool, and relink them to your existing sequence in Media Composer. Just be sure the original media and the graded media both belong to the same tape name for the relink to be successful.

If you have not made any edits to your sequence in Resolve, you do not need to export a new AAF from Resolve at all. That’s just for if you have changed the cuts on the timeline in the Conform tab, added transitions, etc that you want reflected back in your graded Avid sequence.
When you say you cannot relink the new media in Avid, could you please be more specific? Do you see the new graded media in Avid at all? You should place your graded MXFs in one of the numbered folders within your Avid MediaFiles/MXF folder, and they should then be visible within the Media Tool.

A NeXT cube?! Nice!

I began transitioning away from the Apple ecosystem a couple of years ago because of their obviously diminishing regard for the pro market. Resolve was actually the last piece of the puzzle, so now that they’re coming over to Windows the transition is more or less complete.Kevin has some great points about the OS-independent nature of much of the hardware. If you keep that compatibility in mind as you make your purchases, you shouldn’t have to worry too much just yet about where things are headed.

I can confirm it does. And it is glorious. 😉
I get around 50fps render out to ProRes with my GTX 560Ti

I think he’s still looking at it; I have nothing new to report. I’ll be sure to post a follow-up when I hear back!

Hi Rohit,
Absolutely! I will email you links to several of these clips right now. Thank you very much!

Hi! Thank you very much for the replies here.
Everywhere I can find, Resolve is set to use non-drop frame. I posted some more screenshots of my settings in my reply to the other people in this thread, you can see them here. (In fact, Resolve correctly does not allow you to select drop frame for a 24fps setup)
As far as 24 vs 30 frame TC, the footage was transferred directly off the card from the XDCAM camera, so no tapes involved. As I advance through the source footage in both Resolve and Avid, the source footage TC rolls over after 23 frames, in true TC24 fashion.
