Exporting and sending to Resolve

Two ways to hand off

• Send: build the timeline straight in Resolve, in a new project, the open project, or another project you pick. Use it when Resolve is on the same machine.
• Export…: write a .konform package for Konformer or Konformista to open at the Resolve end, Resolve's own timeline (.drt) or project (.drp) file, or a plain .xml.

What to include

The switches under the timeline choose what goes: audio, graphics, titles, adjustment layers, generated solids, synthetic placeholders, warning markers and clip colors, and your Premiere markers and clip colors, and whether the Review window opens after the import. Grading-layout options control nested sequences (nested timelines or opened out), whether to collapse tracks for a straight full-frame grade, and whether to join through cuts (a razored clip whose halves are the same media, source-contiguous, at the same speed with the same effects and no transition lands as one clip, so a shot is one grade rather than one per piece). To ship only the frames the edit uses, turn on trimmed media in Export, or Send trimmed copies of the media (beta) for a send.

Premiere roundtrip

If you'll bring the grade back, turn on Premiere under Roundtrip and pick a delivery codec (ProRes or DNxHR). Only the graded picture is swapped: audio, graphics and other media come from your originals, so keep them on disk. The way back is the return trip.
