It’s strange – but over the years I’ve found some versions of DaVinci Resolve work best when you add all the footage into the Media Pool before the XML import. If changing Conform Options doesn’t work-then change how you populate the Media Pool At those times our decision becomes… which set of problems do we want to solve? We get to choose between two problem imports. Sometimes, a simple change to the Conform Options fixes all our problems – instantly! Other times, it creates whole new sets of problems. By changing the Conform Options, we’re changing the rules for matching clips to the incoming timeline. We’re having Resolve either create new metadata or look for alternate metadata to help the import process. And when I say ‘infer’ – really, we are telling Resolve to make intelligent guesses. We tell Resolve to infer additional information about the timeline being imported and how to match the timeline up with the clips in the Media Pool. When I see this type of thing happen, what’s the first thing I do? I try again, but with different Conform Options in DaVinci Resolve’s Project Settings. In this Insight, upon initial import, we’re noticing all sorts of problems with wrong clips, frame resizing, etc. The XML import of In The Shadow of Giants is wonky.
And if Resolve starts guessing, things get wonky. Often, Resolve is making an educated guess about which clip goes where. In an age of digital files, there isn’t enough metadata embedded in our digital files for an app like Resolve to sort out one clip from another. Importing XMLs is more an art than a scienceĭo you think there is a precision in this? Think again. As we conform In The Shadow of Giants, we explore several Conform Options in Project Settings that have a big impact on the XML we’re importing. Importing an XML into DaVinci Resolve is frequently one of those ‘walk-down-each-path-before-deciding-which-path-is-best’ routines. Then you stand back, evaluate the results and proceed forward.
But to find the superior path you must walk down each path, separately. But sometimes, one path is obviously more superior than another. The path you choose is based on what you’re most comfortable with.
