TRIM RAW sources in Resolve 20.2.3

1. Editorial: export two different XML/AAF and Offline preview files from Premiere/Avid/FinalCut:

  • Original XML/AAF: Approved original edit and H.264/ProRess422proxy preview file. 
  • aka "Clean" XML/AAF: Duplicate your sequence\timeline and then call it clean version and clean-up it from nested sequences, effects, ramp speed/reverse speed. If speed changes is simple linear, keep it and export H.264/ProRess422proxy preview file. Please note: If "clean" xml has no difference with "original" cut, please work with "original" xml only
  • Please burn-in metadata in image: Record timecode, source file name and source timecode.

2. Open Davinci Resolve  (see screenshots below)

  • Please check Project settings - Setup frame rate and resolution
  • Import RAW sources into Media Page by drag and drop or within Resolve - (Media Page)
