How to send a Premiere Pro Timeline to DaVinci Resolve

This is how to send your Premiere Pro timeline to DaVinci Resolve for color grading.

For this we are going to export an XML file - Extensible Markup Language

To do this, simply go up to File - Export - Final Cut Pro XML

Don't worry that it says Final Cut Pro!

You can name and choose where to save your XML

Once you've opened up DaVinci Resolve, you can go straight to the edit page.

From here, all you need to do is right click on the media pool and selct Timeline - Import - XML

Find and open the XML you just created

Make sure the correct timeline is selected and that automatically set project settings and import source clips are checked

Then just click ok

You should now have your Premiere edit inside of Resolve.

Thanks for this quick short! Will nested sequences translate over to DaVinci Resolve? I know this is a problem when bringing over to FCPX

How does the media transfer if you're working between a desktop and a laptop? Surely the xml doesn't contain all the media file information?

What if my clips arent being found from premiere?

[TheRealWorldMoneymaking]

If I would have captions in my Pr pro time line, would it take them to DaVinci resolve too?

I know it's a stupid question, but if I were to send the XML to somebody else that works on a different computer, do they need to have all the original sources, i.e. all the original video files in order to work on the XML file now imported in DaVinci? Or do the videos in the timeline get permanently locked?

[alexginzo]

That did not work for me. The XML file was imported into DaVinci and then had media offline. When I tried to relink them nothing seemed to work.

The slowed down footage doesn't work, it imports it but chaotic, not how I cut it.

[JasonPerryman]

Yeah this don't work for me at all. Had to find another way to do it. Your Timeline/Import window didn't come up for me.

Thank you so much, you just saved me from getting 0 on an uni project and failing my class
