Exporting multicam sequence from DaVinci Resolve to Premiere Pro

Hi everyone, another editor has created multi-camera sequences including sound which I am taking over.

But I would rather use Premiere to edit the rest. Is there a way to export the whole multi-camera sequence from DaVinci to Premiere and still keep the synced multicam and sound? Many thanks.

The best workaround I can think of is to flatten the multicam and export XML. If you have a color grade you want to keep, make a new timeline in resolve, copy and paste the multicam camera source into that and export each camera with it's color grade. then in premiere you can link the source file to the original. You still won't be able to switch between cameras, but a workaround for that is to stack all the camera angles on the timeline and disable them and Enable them as you need in premiere. I've been editing a podcast and that's the best workaround I can find.
Also, if you did any scaling in resolve and the source is 4k, and you want to keep the scaling, in Premiere you can use a transform control to size the clip properly without losing that custom scale. I hope that helps!

Thanks for this, I wanted to take advantage of the AI smart switch feature but didn't get the expected behaviour until I flattened the multicam.

I'd love to know if you ever found the answer to this. I'm running into this right now.

As far as I know, not and be able to change the editing between cameras.
