DaVinci Resolve - How to Relink Offline Media from a Exported Project

Image RemovedImage Added
Put the Color Corrected files from Resolve into your AVID Project.
Open the exported Resolve files. There will be ONE .aaf file and several .mxf files.
This example is short - most projects will have a lot more .mxf files.

Image RemovedImage Added

AVID reads media from the Avid MediaFiles folder on the root level of the hard drive.

The .mxf files exported from Davinci Resolve must be moved to this folder. See example below.

Copy or Move the .mxf files to the AVID MediaFiles>MXF>1 folder

If you are working off the Nexis Shared Storage Server it's different where you put the media.


The .mxf files from Resolve must go into the following folder

AVID MediaFiles > MXF > COMM-AXXXXX name of the computer you are working

Put the files exported out of Resolve into this folder

After the files are moved to the appropriate Avid MediaFiles

>MXF>1 >MXF> folder on the hard drive or the Shared Storage Server (Nexis) open the AVID Project or make a new one.

The file will come in and a timeline will be created along with some Master Clips in the AVID bin.

The media in the newly created timeline should automatically relink to the .mxf files exported from resolve.

If the files don't link double check the workflow explained in this document. Make sure you put the .mxf files in the right place so AVID will read them.
This last step will remove any previously applied LUTs and random color correction.

Select your timeline in your bin

Go to Clip and choose Refresh Sequence>All
