Jim,
sounds like your looking for a quick color fixing tool, not a grading tool like davinci. Resolve is a tool to color, like Composer is to editing. sure, i could use imovie to edit, BUT, will i really be taken seriously as an editor or would i show that work off in my demo reel? not to mention, the tools aren’t there.
If i want to fix the color on something, sure, FCP or Premiere’s built in color tools are adequate, but they pale in comparison to Resolve’s tools.And why wouldn’t a short film want it? the power that’s at your fingertips now will make a low budget/no budget, short film, look like the BIG Hollywood films..As long as it’s shot right.
Also, considering Davinci has a free version, that allows you to do HD sized renders, you’re only real issue is the cost of the color panels vs. using a Mouse?
If you’re even contemplating doing REAL color correction/grading, the cost of a decent panel, shouldn’t even be a factor today. the MC color is what, $1800-1500 depending where you buy from. get a panel.
start living.
the mouse is a horrible way to color, even worse than using a Wacom. At the very least, go buy a Kensington Trackball. It’s like Night and Day.

Jim,
The xml back into premiere has been an issue i posted earlier last week about as well. apparently, if you download the latest beta version (4) of Davinci the issue is fixed.
I haven’t had a chance to try it out. -
excellent new. I didn’t know that beta4 was out. I’m heading over there to grab it now.
thanks for the feedback Laco and Esteban. -
yeah, like i said, i know it WAS a bug. DaVinci can read the xml from premiere (in v5.5.2), but the XML that Davinci makes, to connect to the colored material, cannot be brought back into Premiere.
-
I think it’s in Adobe Premiere’s XML import engine.. I’m getting the same issue when i try to bring in a Davinci xml.
-
What version are you using?
Is it the latest update? -
what was it? cause i’m having issues geting HDMI out of my brand spanking new BMD Extreme 3D card.
thanks.

One other thought, you could try and wash it through Clip Finder.

not a solution to your issues, more a work around, but you could always export your timeline as a single file (dpx string out, Quicktime, etc) and let Davinci’s Scene detection add in the cuts. works pretty good.
as for your issues, i dare you to show my 1 “Professional” level app that doesn’t have some issues with FCPs timeline. I’ve worked on 3 out of the top5 that all have issues with FCP timeline. (don’t even start talking about FCP edls) there’s just something about the way apple is writing an xml file.
Try Smoke.
Try Scratch.
Try Quatel
Try Symphohy (not a native XML reader)
Try DS. (not a native XML reader)another thought, take that same xml from fcp and see if premiere can open it.. (version 4 xml required) it probably won’t. i’ve had all sorts of issue trying to “wash” my timeline through FCP to Davinci and back.
So it seem more like FCP is the culprit, not all these other apps..
