![]() You can export the file as either a single clip or individual clips. Then you can work on your colour, and when you’re finished, render out ready to export. ![]() Once your timeline has imported, scrub through it to make sure that everything has arrived and looks right. Importing in Resolve Importing into Resolveįile > Import Timeline > Pre-conformed EDL If you do bring across transitions, they might look different in Resolve-either black or a similar transition-but they'll go back to what they were when you export and flip back to Premiere. Exporting From Premiere as an EDL EDL export settingsĪs mentioned, you won’t need audio levels or graphics like transitions if you’re just doing colour work, so you can untick those if you want to. If you're leaving Premiere to move to Resolve, then this probably isn't the option for you. This option is a quicker one if you’re doing roundtrips from Premiere to Resolve and back again because you’re exporting and importing the least information. AdobeĪn EDL file can offer a smoother export than other file types, but because it only works properly with one video track, you will need to render/flatten your video. Most standard transitions, frame holds, and clip speed changes also work well in EDLs. EDLs work best with projects that contain no more than one video track, two stereo audio tracks, and no nested sequences. The main issue with using an EDL is that it's not able to store complicated timelines, so you’ll need to flatten your video down to one track. ![]() An EDL file is easy for both computers and people to read as it's essentially a line-by-line breakdown of everything in the edit. It's designed to help you migrate timelines from one editing suite to another.Īlthough video makers tend to favour XML-which we'll come to-a professional colourist might ask for an EDL file as it's the simplest method of rebuilding your timeline, particularly when they won't need any of your audio or effects in order to colour the video. EDL: Edit Decision ListĪn EDL file is-as the name might suggest-a list of events, information, and general metadata about your project, including things like transitions and durations. A Quick Note on OMF (Open Media Framework) and AAF (Advanced Authoring Format) File TypesĪAF is the newer version of OMF and contains more information than its predecessor, most notably audio volume automation and track names.ĪAF is similar to XML format but is made to include audio and also has Avid support. Watch Tom's video below, or we also have a step-by-step tutorial.īefore you start: to export to some file types, you might need to flatten/render some sequences, so make sure you create a duplicate first, just in case. This is a handy way to import any project that doesn't have graphics and overlays, from any editor. If you’re just doing colour work you won’t need audio, graphics, and so on, so you can either flatten the timeline or remove those elements and just export the video, then use this feature in Resolve. One simple way to get a video into Resolve is to use Scene Cut Detection to import. How to Import Video to DaVinci Resolve With Scene Cut Detection Its in-depth tools mean that not only can you grade to a professional standard, but you can also balance and match footage from across different cameras and sources.īoth pieces of software have their pros and cons, and that’s why you might want to use them together: Premiere for your construction and timeline editing, and Resolve to colour grade. Where Resolve has really upped its game, though, is in colour correction and colour grading. Resolve has a similar interface to Premiere but is not so good at text, graphics, and audio, all things that can either be done in Premiere or that another Adobe program links to seamlessly: After Effects for graphics and Audition for audio, for one. Resolve, on the other hand, is free, or you can buy the Studio version outright for $295. It’s also quite expensive, and because it’s a subscription, that’s an ongoing cost, which is the main issue filmmakers face when choosing Premiere. ![]() Premiere has had years of building up its reputation as the industry standard for editing video, and that reputation is well deserved: it’s instinctive and has a lot of powerful tools. Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolveīoth DaVinci Resolve and Premiere Pro are non-linear editors, which basically means you can edit any part of your project and add and remove things at any point-you don’t have to work from start to finish in order. In this article we’ll take a look at why and how you can do that in a few different ways. ![]() It might sound a little odd to move a project from one editing suite to what could be considered its biggest rival, but many people find they want to send Premiere Pro projects to DaVinci Resolve. ![]()
