I use the AVID AAF preset and I knock out the audio in this export and choose where I’d like to save the. It trips an error message seemingly no matter what options I export with. I usually use the Premiere XML option, but something has bugged out in the latest Davinci (12.5 is what I’m using in this tutorial) or in the latest Premiere Pro (CC 2017 is what I’m using in this tutorial) and XML seems to be impossible to use. Export AAF or XML from DavinciĪfter you have your clips graded, go the to Delivery module (last in line on the bottom toolbar) and you can choose any of the preset export templates from the top left. TIP: Watch the video above to see me explain a little of the grading I did to these clips and how I quickly copied it across the other clips. Move from this module to the Color module (third from the left in the bottom toolbar) and use the very many tools here to make a color edit to your clip(s). You will be dumped into the Edit module after this XML or AAF file is loaded where you will see your clips in the timeline.

Leave the “Load AAF/XML” dialog box as default and hit “OK”. Jump into Davinci Resolve and create a new project and you will jump right into in the Media module (button to the left of the four on the bottom toolbar) and you want to go File>Import AAF, EDL, XML… find our file we exported from Premiere and hit “Open”.

It really is an amazing workflow and allows you to use the incredible power of Davinci Resolve without fear or worry on your next video editing project!Īfter you finish cutting together your project in Premiere, go File>Export>AAF or you can go File>Export>Final Cut XML and choose to save either file (you only need one!) where you have your project on your hard drive. We can export AAF or XML from Premiere and import a full project directly into Davinci Resolve to take advantage of it’s amazing color grading power and then export that AAF or XML right back into Premiere Pro so we can finish adding titles, captions, finishing transitions, cut tweaks, and more before exporting the finished movie, film, or YouTube video. In this video editing tutorial, we’ll cover how to use Davinci Resolve to color grade a project that has been edited in Premiere Pro.
