You should hopefully see your timeline now in DaVinci Resolve and you can now start to work on grading your footage. Go to > file > import > import XML timeline Once in DaVinci Resolve, to import that XML

This is why I would recommend exporting them in a high-quality lossless format and re-importing them. I often scale clips and nest them when applying warp stabiliser, this kind of information isn't included in the XML file and so won't translate to DaVinci resolve. If you have a very complicated timeline with lots of nested sequences, I'd advice exporting those nested sequences separately and re-importing them into the timeline as whole clips. Your edit can include basic effects such as dissolves but not more complex edits. Go to - File > export > and then Final cut Pro XMLĪnd choose where you would like to save it. To export an XML file from Premiere Pro, here's what you do. You will have to export a new XML from resolve for this. When it comes to color grading, this should always be the last step, however, when using an XML you have the option to bring back that sequence into your native editing application such as Premiere Pro if needed after the color work is done. XML files don't contain your files, just the data of where they are and what you've done with them.

So you can actu ally go into an XML document and see what it contains if necessary.

This allows it to be readable in multiple applications. An XML has no pre-defined tags and separates information from presentation. An XML file is designed to store and transfer data. You can't just open up a Premiere Pro sequence in Resolve, unfortunately. Most non-linear editing applications such as Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final cut and Avid don't talk like talking to each other. You can use this method with various NLEs The first method we are going to take a look at is using an XML or (eXtensible Markup Language). There are a few ways you can do this, but this is my personal favourite and arguably the most useful. Let's take a look at how you can transfer your projects from Premiere Pro to DaVinci Resolve for color grading.
