Rick: Yeah that's the IDEAL workflow. The workflow I'm looking for needs to be AE / PR VFX happening simultaneously with color work in Resolve from a colorist. The best solution so far has been to make timelines for every single clip in Resolve, keep the timelines the same length as the source clips (not the I/O cut), and then render. From there it's about replacing files in AE / PR. Since you can't really automate the Resolve export of full clips, there's room for human error (I.e. accidentally clipping a few frames), and it's really time consuming. Since we've already done it once now, we won't have to do it again - but it's extremely frustrating to work that "manual" for such a high-level process. It would seem to me that there would be a simpler workflow that allows for simultaneous work between AE / PR and Resolve that doesn't include XMLs (AE, embedded comps won't accept when in tandem with PR).
