You have done this workflow in this wiki but footage doesn't link in AVID

Davinci Resolve Export .aaf to AVID - Color Correction Round Trip opening Color Corrected Files into AVID Workflow

This way will fix the issue but assigning a common tape name to the footage in AVID so it will re-link

You have put the .mxf exports from Resolve into the appropriate AVID MediaFiles folder

You have imported the .aaf but footage doesn't relink

The fix is to assign the footage and the imported clips in the timeline the same tape name

Here is how

Go to >Tools>Media Tool

Choose your project and the drive the .mxf footage is on

Footage appears in the Media Tool

You can sort by creation date so you can see the recently exported footage easier

Make a new bin and copy the recently created Master Clip files from the media tool into a

new bin

Here is an example of the Footage in the new bin that you just exported from Resolve
Select all clips in the bin that should be relinked to timeline
Go to >Clip>Modify>Modify Clip

Choose Set Timecode pulldown and choose

>Set Source

Select New
