Davinci Resolve Roundtrip with FX3, FX30 or A7S III and four audio channels

I know there are already lots of posts about rountripping to resolve from premiere.

I have tried the XML, EDL and AAF - way. None of them worked.

The main problem is the audio format of the FX3s four-channel-audio file, so all audio from this camera is offline when I import the XML in Resolve.

So as the FX3, FX30 and A7S III all record in the same formats (in this case XAVC-HS 422 10 bit 200mbit with four channel audio), and those are very common cameras I thought maybe somebody already has come up with a good workaround.

I was thinking of maybe consolidate and transcode the whole sequence to prores and then go to Resolve, grade those consolidated clips and relink them in premiere. So I will not loose all my audio (effects) work.

Did anyone try this?

I think maybe the best Idea is just to transcode to prores and roundtrip to resolve with a one way ticket. I can still import the source footage if I need to change anything.. and finish there.

    Wait, if you're just using Resolve for color correction (as I mainly do), why are you bringing the audio over beyond a reference mixdown?    Not challenging you, just wondering...

    There's two ways back from Resolve to Premiere ...

     

    First, export a video only media from Resolve, import into Premiere, duplicate the sequence (safety first!) and in the dupe sequence, delete the video, drop on the video from Resolve.

     

    Second, from Resolve, export individual clips with the identical file names as in Premiere. Including handles of course.

     

    In Premiere, in the bin, select then "offline" the original files.

     

    Now "locate" the media, navigating to the folder with the Resolve graded files.

    Everyone's mileage always varies ...
