For final cut projets, I have been media managing a copy of the timeline to the codec I want to color in with 12 frame handles. I then export an edl for resolve. In resolve, I import all the clips from the media managed copy. Conform from an edl to get all the cuts in the right order. Then I color everything and render out in source mode. That maintains the source timecode and tape names/file names. I then take the graded files and relink in FCP to those CC files. Then out put from FCP.
If the cut changes, I just import the new shots into resolve and conform from a new edl. Render out the new shots and relink in FCP. Not the smoothes workflow, but it is accurate.
Hope that helps.

It’s hard to explain. The easiest way i can think to explain it would be like a quicktime reference movie. Where the quicktime is actually a link to the original files. The way the smoke does it is better because if you delete the source material the reference file would still be ok. You have to delete both in order to get ride of it completely.
We work in DPX. So the smoke puts out a dpx sequence and an edl. That is then brought into resolve and pre conformed. Our smoke and resolve are on a san, sharing the same drives. When we have updates, we just replace the dpx sequence and the resolve updates. Its so fast. We can put out a full 2k feature in about 2 mins and start color. Its that fast because you are not generating new media, just linking to the original media..

I can think of two options. The first, is to export an image sequence and then just over write the new shots. Just make sure you make events for those shots in the edl, or you will have to reconform in resovle to a new list.
The second think would be to do linked publishes from smoke on mac. That will allow you to replace an entire show in seconds. It also allows you to not take up more space on the disk. Its a very fast workflow.

In LA for a smoke finisher, you will pay 75-100 an hour for someone good. Most guys out here are now just hourly.
The only guys I know with a commission of there room is a few HIGH end commercial guys and some colorists.

The resolve can not composite two layers together. The matte feature is for coloring. You can color inside the matte or outside the matte. Thats all the matte feature will do.
