Correct on both points when using Canon at 24.000 fps.

I confirmed that Premiere Pro plays back your test files just fine – so you can either edit there, or create Media Composer compatible files from Adobe Media Encoder rather than using Resolve. I will send you a QT wrapped DNxHD back to via email.

I’ll try loading up your test clip in Premiere Pro and see it works. I’m inclined to think it just will. As far as using Resolve, when you load up the sources in the Media Pool, you want to make sure that you set the REEL assignment correctly. This is done in settings on the default tab where it says “assist conform” as you see here in this screenshot:
From there, you create a timeline with all the clips, then go to the deliver page and make sure “individual clips” is selected along with container and codec type from the menu selects.

I experienced the same issue when using the Canon Utility. The only way I could get it to work was to use Resolve Lite in a dailies type workflow exporting .mov with either DNxHD or ProRes codec or native MXF wrapped DNxHD.
I never heard back from Canon when asking about 24.000 support being added to their AMA plug-in.

Maybe there’s a bug here, because center duration is supposed to inherit timecode type and count from top TC register above the record monitor. In your example, the 30fps DF.

It’s so much the authoring side as it is the encoding. You can always use the included Sorenson Squeeze encoder which does have a check box allowing you to indicate that levels are 16-235 for the MPEG2 encode.

In both cases, “quality” of the conversion will be the main question. Avid MC can certainly transcode from I to P but does not do much with motion compensation and such. You can select different interpretations from the motion effect editor from just dropping a field but cuts your resolution in half to different blending modes. If you just edit with the i footage, you can deal with those shots on the timeline with the motion effect editor or using a plug-in that might provide better results such as Twixtor.

Canon 5D files can be linked via the Avid QuickTime AMA plug-in. Just make sure that none of the names or folders containing the file have illegal characters in it such as / etc. Also, if using the folder version of the plug-in, there is a limit as to how high you can go, and I believe the limit is 3.
For XAVC-S, the only AMA plug-in that will work is the one from Drastic Technology – MediaReactor. This is not a free plug-in but supports lots of formats. Other than that, you would need to prep the XAVC-S files first, before going into Avid such as EditReady, Adobe Media Encoder, perhaps even Resolve and transcode to Avid friendly codec.

Highlight the sequence and do a relink to see if it finds anything. If not, highlight all the .new clips from the transcode and do a right-click on sequence/relink then select “relink to selected” and see what happens.

I never recommend just using the ALE form a third party transcode to relink to media as I always hear about unlinking such as this. The preferred and recommended method is to first import the AAF files also generated by Redcine X Pro, then merge the ALE into the master clips for the additional metadata. AAF caries the parent/child relationship and directly links to the MOB ID’s in the mediafiles that is not available by ALE alone.
A lot of this is covered here, and there is a rather detailed RED section:
