[Amy Saville] “PLEASE can someone tell me how to tell premiere that several cuts belong to the same clip??”
This is actually normal behaviour for a round trip.
There used to be an operating practice in the first few versions of Resolve that would tie each instance of a clip on a timeline to a version on a “Master Timeline” — the so-called ‘use remote grade’ approach. We used to have to separate each recurring instance of a trim if we wanted to apply a different version or treatment — to “Use Local”. The Master Timeline no longer exists in an overt form (but we suspect it is still there in the background).
Resolve does need to isolate cuts as separate events so that grades can be applied independently. If you want to apply a universal grade or grades to a group, there is a strategy for that — In fact, three levels are available for “pre-clip”, “clip” and “post-clip.” However, on delivery, Resolve will still render every event as if it were an independent clip, and from that point on, it is new media and is not related to your original source clip other than by some common metadata like timecode.
Premiere is really re-connecting the new unique files (that Resolve has created) to those event positions on the original edit timeline. Your color corrected material is *no longer* part of a larger, longer source clip.

Not in the league of 1.8 –>2.2/2.4.

I am in the process of building an article dealing with this difference between “full range” RGB data levels and “Linear Video”, so this question would be a great lead-in if only I had it at a stage to post.
The long and the short of it is that Web Video generally wants to fall in the sRGB colorspace since most OS’s want to hang in that club. It is very similar to Rec709 broadcast, so the real deal is that if you are exporting a Y’CbCr Quicktime or other — the display processing is going to want the file values to be in that HDVideo 709 or equivalent range. Because it says sRGB, doesn’t necessarily mean that it is going to use the 0-255 or 0-1023 scale associated with Photoshop-type graphic values.
Its a big deal; sometimes it appears to masquerade as the so-called “gamma” bug, but it is an entirely different mechanism.

I don’t know if CS6 has an export workflow similar to Final Cut’s “Media Manager” or a Media Composer “Consolidate”.
Something to consider might be to create a Resolve project and pass that along to your colorist as a .drp with the new “trim” strategy. See if that person is comfortable with that approach — there are some advantages to doing that as it does sort of pre-‘trouble-shoot’ potential problems with re-creating the timeline.

It sounds like…
Confused USB instructions — you have installed the Tangent Hub utility, I assume. And the Wave has been selected under your Control Panel preferences…
Otherwise random control inputs suggest that the interface knows there is something out there, but what it is is not being translated correctly… for all Resolve knows, it might be a Wacom tablet.

Depends entirely on the source/master codec.
Ninety minutes of “2K” at 23.98fps will occupy approximately:
1.5 Terabytes in Uncompressed 10-bit and will require a transfer rate in the neighbourhood of about 250-270 Mbits/sec. Similar if you export a dpx sequence, although the individual image files in the media folder will be about 10 or 11 MB per frame. Again, all these numbers depend on bit depth (8-, 10-, 12-, 16-) and actual resolution — “2K” can mean anything from 1998×1080 to 2048×1556.
OR-
About 100 GigaBytes or so in any of the lossless 422 intra codecs like ProRes or DnxHD and about 10% of the transfer rate.
If you export with handles or do not trim the source clips, you will, of course, be exporting much more than 90 minutes worth of material.
If you expect the grade to return as graded media corresponding to the export edit project, then factor in at least 2.5x the storage.
Try to avoid USB unless copying the data is not time sensitive. Otherwise there will a large dent in the schedule devoted to moving the files.

If it opens one project but crashes with another, then the problem is likely a project-related cause. Without knowing the project parameters it is impossible to even speculate what the issue might be. There could be illegal operations within the edit that are not supported by Resolve — it could be the inclusion of unsupported media types… there is a very, very long list.

First thing to do is to have a quick perusal of the hardware configuration guide appropriate to your version of Resolve.
AVCHD, although it is ostensibly an intra codec, is not well supported by Resolve and does require some fairly intensive CPU processing. You also appear to be running a single-GPU platform which will not help the image throughput capability.
Resolve handles media very differently than a plain-vanilla NLE, so assuming that Premiere or Media Composer are a good benchmark for codec agility is not a good barometer.

[Tobias Heilmann-Schuricht] “Do you think that some compositing elements will start to surface in Resolve due to EyeOn development, or a Seeaales Integration between the two?
“There already are, as there is a way now to import Mocha tracking data via a Boris plugin, among other processes that the OpenFX architecture makes available.
