Do the clips play all the way through before syncing them? AutoSync doesn’t prevent a clip from playing if the original clips also play.

for editorial only, I tend to do 1/2 good or 1/2 – as you noticed it’s faster and you’ll have plenty of resolution to make editing decisions –

It’s strange that Redcine X Pro did not complete the transcode and makes me wonder if there is something wrong with this file. Do all the files behave this same way?

Did you check to make sure there were no illegal characters anywhere in the link path like a folder somewhere that uses a / for a date?

Have you tried linking directly to the .R3D itself?

Thank God it wasn’t keyframed, imagine the extra work!
What version are you running? It may be a bug or a limitation of FrameFlex. Maybe contact Avid support on this one.

You will use the AutoSync process although it won’t be automatic. As others have mentioned you have already identified the common “sync” point via a Mark In point. All clips have to be in the same bin in order to work. Based on your naming convention, sorting on the “name” column will pair the clips together in ascending order.
- Highlight any pair of clips to sync
- select “Autosync
- Select options (Mark in), and whether you want to keep any audio that might exist on video, and what tracks you want to keep from the audio-only clip from the audio-only clip. This depends on your workflow preferences.
- Click OK
- A new subclip with video clip name + .sync will appear in the bin
Others have references subframe syncing. This is the ability to tighten the sync in 1/4 frame increments and is referred to as perf based syncing. But you need to be in a 35mm film project and all audio needs to be imported, not linked for this to work.
In other project types you can slip sync via source settings but is tedious and has some limitations.

Are you trying to conform back to the camera originals or the transcoded MXF files? For missing clips, you can do a force conform in DaVinci but I would double-check Source Filename and timecode with the same camera originals already in the Resolve media pool to make sure they are the same.

Ah… weird. There are certainly font issues when going across operating systems but if on same OS with exact same font packages (same manufacturer and not just name) and same title tool, it should be the same. But then again who knows what bugs lurk in there.
I am curious as to why an AAF would solve that since it is a representation of the sequence sent via bin. Another mystery.
Is there a default setting somewhere for resolution?

Are the credits over video media or are they just standalone segments of titles, be it cards or a roll? If the latter, why not just send a bin with the sequence segments where the timecode matches their place in the program. A lot smaller to send and they can just recreate on their end? I am assuming you are exporting from and to a Media Composer/Symphony option.
