One thing missed at times in sending footage to Resolve ... any use of "Scale to frame-size" can cause issues in Resolve, it will see things differently. Using "Set to frame size" for bringing in different frame sizes to a sequence works much better, and any issues can be resolved (pun ... hmmm ) by changing one setting in Resolve then.

The document Warren referenced is pretty good, of course. There's always the first question ... are you exporting out of PrPro "never to return" ... or are you exporting out planning to round-trip back to PrPro for finishing touches? Two very different processes, and I think both covered in that  doc.

You should be good to go with MXF, but I'd consider transcoding the MP4 files to MXF or Apple ProRes.

Chapter 22 Preparing to Move Your Project to Resolve of the DaVinci Resolve Reference Manual should cover everything you need to know:

Hey guys thank you for your help.

It’s clearly some off the A7SII footage that is causing the problem.

I have the most succes with an XML file.

I’m an switching Avid editor so I have to find my way in the different work methods off Premiere.  Is there a possibility to change only the A7sII footage that I used in my edit?  True project manger f.e.

We are dealing with a whole lot of footage so it would be great to extract only the used footage of the A7SII.

In the project manager you can sort by say frame-rate, selecting the ones that are causing an issue, and at the least set a color for the clips on the timeline so you can find them all quickly.

There are some properties that you can change by selecting a group of files in the Project manager and right-clicking ... not sure that would fix your issues, though.

So ... what is the problem with those clips over in Resolve?
