It’s always best to test a round-trip workflow deeply before committing to it. So when it came to working on this big round-tripped show, Robbie and I immediately decided some workflow testing was in order. Unfortunately – that way isn’t perfect either, as any Avid-specific plugins, transitions, effects, etc won’t come back into the Avid, and will have to be manually re-applied. Instead of referencing the original AAF, this option generates a new AAF from scratch based on the Resolve timeline. This avoids a lot of the pitfalls above – but it has issues of its own. Often the Avid just pops up a “PMM_INSUFFICIENT_MEDIA” error, which can be a huge hassle to hunt down.Īnother way of getting an AAF out of Resolve is to right-click the timeline and select Timeline->Export->Generate New AAF.

This method doesn’t work well with timewarps or mixed frame rates.

If you have made any changes to the timeline edit in Resolve – they won’t apply, since the original AAF is being referenced.

The only thing to do is re-conform to a new AAF, and colortrace to that. If you deleted it, moved it, or moved machines? You’re basically out of luck.

This method references the AAF file that was originally imported.

Sounds great, so what’s the problem? Well, there are a few issues:

It also does the same thing if you right-click a timeline after rendering, and select Timeline->Export->AAF. When rendering individual clips, if you use the Avid AAF preset – Resolve will provide you an AAF that links to your graded media. Round-Tripping The Conventional WayĬonventionally – there are two ways of getting an AAF out of Resolve to link back up in Avid: Exporting An AAF Using The Avid AAF Preset Recently this came up when Robbie and I finished a TV series that had a ton of Avid made picture-in-picture effects, all with advanced keyframes, borders, and other options that made recreating them in Resolve is not an option.

Recreating them by hand in Resolve isn’t always reasonable or even possible. Many TV shows have titles, graphics, and effects that are built right into their Avid sequence. In my ideal world – I would rather 100% finish in my grading software, and make all the final outputs from there – but that isn’t feasible for all projects. Imagine all the problems of a conform – but now you have to do it twice! If there’s one phrase that tends to strike fear into the mind of many colorists (nope, not “8-bit” or “passion project” or even “can you send me the DRP?”) – it has to be “round trip”.Ī round-trip is exporting from an NLE, grading in grading software, and then bringing the graded sequence back into the NLE.
