Yes I think I’ve isolated my problem. It turns out that all transcoded footage lost their timecodes which is why Resolve can’t make sense of it.
I’m going to try out the process which is highlighted here https://www.ilovehue.net/PDF/FCPtoRESOLVE_procedure_20121119.pdf to see if I can make it work. This is based on Resolve 9 but hopefully the process will still work.

Thanks Glenn!

Going to go ahead and try that then.
Some shot replacement is still way better than replacing all the shots. Will post if it works. Which I hope it does. Otherwise I’ll just bite the bullet and re-edit.
Thanks again.

I think you may have a point Glenn. the “… spit out a list pointing Resolve to files with timecodes that don’t exist…” part especially seems to be what`s happening.
and as I mentioned above there is some archival footage which we needed to highlight events in the past and I`m not sure if those clips were different from our 25fps. Feel like a bit of an idiot for not checking that but yeah will have to go back and check it now.

Does anyone here know if going from FCP7 to Premiere and then from there back to Resolve might work? Worth a shot?

Thanks for the advice. I’m going to go try what you said right away and hopefully it will help me along. Most of the footage was shot over a few years with a Nanoflash enabled Sony EX3 but there are also GoPro and some older footage included.

Glen might have a point about mixed frame rates as some of the footage was archival. I will have to go check that out.

Thanks though! Will report back if I manage to solve it.
