“DaVinci Resolve and Premiere H.264 Proxy Compatibility Issue – Need Advice”

Hi everyone, I’ve run into an issue with my workflow and would appreciate some advice.

I created proxies from my original footage in Premiere using H.264 encoding, and then I tried to work with them in DaVinci Resolve for color grading/editing.
However, when I attempted to relink the proxies to the original media, Resolve gives the following error:

“Frame rate and timecode do not match”

I’m wondering:

  1. Is this a mistake on my end during export or relinking?
  2. Or does DaVinci Resolve not support relinking H.264 proxies to original media?

If anyone has experience with this or a workaround, I’d really appreciate your input!
