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


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.

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.

After the files are moved to the Avid MediaFiles >MXF>1 folder on the hard drive open the AVID Project or make a new one.

Launch AVIDMediaComposer

Open your project

Make a New Bin

Title the new bin "Color Corrected Version"

Go to >File>Import

Navigate to the .aaf file in the Resolve exported media folder and select it.

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
