Davinci Resolve roundtrip to Premiere Pro

when I did my test yesterday I used the 'age of airplanes' tutorial project for resolve 15. I took the first clip from media pool and put it on end of timeline, went to color and made it black and white. same in out points. when now looking at media pool (thumbnails) resolve started acting weird, showing it offline until I put mouse over it. weird. played OK on timeline. But I've had that problem before ( offline thing, using 4k in 1080 timeline before optimizing (basically proxy)). So something wasn't right. plus the clip is the same clip, same name, same duration, etc. Sending back to someone would be same problem poster is having.

Soooo, I copied the clip to a temp directory, renamed it ( adding B-W to end of name), moved THAT into source directory, and now have new filename of same clip. Put on end of timeline, and NO IN OUT POINTS LIKE ORIGINAL. Had to TRIM the clip to match the original, then turn B&W. Save, etc.  Now I got something that works and when sent BACK to someone a new file ( new clip) is added to the thing.

That should work,, but it's not ideal. Maybe there's a way for the editor to 'know' when stuff is gonna be duplicated later in grading process... and they can duplicate, rename, and (with same in out points) put that in the timeline they send to colorist.  Makes sense to me...

Alan, this forum is user to user stuff. An open avenue for people to help one another try to solve problems. It is a totally separate partition from the other departments of Adobe relative to programming, designing, implementing and so on. You must have some idea how complicated a large software company operates on this scale... think of all the products stuff into the bag. The difficulty of getting 10 pounds into a 5 pound bag just keep increasing as more years of changes and additions are added. If you don't get it then nothing I say is gonna make a difference. But NOBODY you ever meet here in the forum, staff or special envoy, or anyone with medals and medallions, is gonna be WORKING for adobe in the sense you apparently think they do.  They are lucky to be holding onto their jobs with some security just dealing with THE FORUM.

And luckily Kevin is very good and pays attention and keeps up on what's up as best he can.  That means he goes out of his way to keep learning what the problems people experience are.. and uses the resources at his disposal to suggest solutions. He's very good at it. But he is NOT yapping with the people who are dealing with the huge block diagrams and programming department heads responsible for making the software.  Nobody would be able to do that and play with kids on the forums, which is what 80% of this forum is about.

You have to do the searching and trials and fixing yourself and ask , and HOPE someone says something that clicks in your own head to lead you in a direction to solve the problem.

Good luck !

I think I kinda tried that … in editor … duplicated clip, even renamed it sorta, but it ends up being he same clip when you go to color page and grade it... ( to B&W in my case ). When you go to media pool and click on the clips they are what you had to begin with ( color in this case ). The timeline timecode don't matter I don't think.. it's the grade that's not happening.  ??? It's NOT a new instance of the clip. It's the same one.

On export you would see the B/W but sending stuff back would be the same stupid clip you got to begin with.

Have the editor import the same clip twice, and use each only once.

Alan,

I would instruct the editor to make note of, then conform any clips which are used more than once. Each of these would be assigned a unique name. I don't think this would take too much extra time if the workflow only includes a few instances of this occurring. Would that work?

Thanks,
Kevin
