Resolve to Pro Tools

[Travis Edwards]

I've been pulling my hair out (which is convenient since all the barber shops are closed now) trying to get a 40 minute project to an audio person for a mix in Pro Tools from Resolve.

Using the "Pro Tools" export in the Deliver section gave me all of the audio files, but some of the files mysteriously don't contain any audio, and the AAF it created a slew of errors and problems. Same goes with the Avid AAF.

Does anybody know of a way to get an AAF with embedded media out of Resolve?

I've never used the Pro Tool AAF export in Resolve, but worst case just export each track of audio (or all of them) as Wave files.

Or export a Quicktime (can be low bit rate like Prores Proxy) with all your audio tracks embedded.

I have exported an AAFs from Resolve that import well to Pro Tools. I have Pro Tools 12. I am now on Nuendo but if it helps this worked for me. From my notes:

- select AVID AAF preset
- uncheck the Export Video check box
- select Advanced Settings
- add 120 frames handles
- File - uncheck Use unique filenames (Filename uses: Source Name)
- render

I have issues with .aaf exported from resolve aswell. Try creating a .omf, you can use adobe premiere or if your looking for a free way you can use can use Final Cut Pro 7... (final cut pro X doesnt create .omf) https://youtu.be/jCR0BZ9KiKk

Thanks for the advice, everyone. After almost a week of trying, I wasn't able to get a workable aaf out of Resolve, so to get the audio post work done, I'm migrating the project into Premiere to get a workable file out.

I'm still baffled how Resolve seems incapable of delivering an aaf with embedded media and provides so few options for getting audio out for a mix.

Uggh I just had flashbacks with a Resolve to Pro Tools AAF export issue.

I had better luck using Avid as the in between FCPX/Premiere projects.

From FCPX I used XtoPro then export AAF/OMF.

Of course be ready to strip everything down to nothing as far as video/graphics go.

Audio however was smooth as silk.
