XML. (FCP7/Davinci type) . Make sure your clips have source timecode and is being read by Vegas.

Thanks man. @Kinvermark What do you mean by "Make sure your clips have source timecode and is being read by Vegas"? Can you please explain?

If you need an intermediate file to go from VEGAS to Resolve, I recommend MAGIX Intermediate 444.

As an intermediate to go from Resolve to VEGAS, I recommend Grass Valley HQX.

This thread may be useful for the project transfer.

Thanks @NickHope

But why I need to use intermediate files since both Vegas Pro 17 and Resolve 16 read my camera materials without problem? (in this case materials are from Alexa LF ProRes 4.4.4.4 in QuickTime)?

I have no luck DR import VEGAS Pro XML properly. Instead, I export VEGAS XML to Premiere Pro and re-export from there. DR able to read Pr XML without showing me an error "media is missing"

Take a look at this YouTube video by (Doug DeYoung). It is old, but I previously had luck following his directions using Vegas Pro 15 and DaVinci Resolve 14. Not sure if the workflow would be the same with the current versions of either software. Can't hurt to try, right? You really need to pay attention to the workflow as if you don't, it tends not to work (prior testing for me, anyway). Once VEGAS received the better color grading panel, I have had no need to "RoundTrip". And remember, the round-tripping should be done for color grading only, not all the effects/transitions/etc.

If you're planning to bring footage back to VEGAS from Resolve after color correction etc. then you'd need an intermediate file. If you're just doing very simple color adjustments in Resolve you could export 65-point LUTs instead, which VEGAS will read. Other color adjustment FX such as curves will not transfer between VEGAS and Resolve.

Do you have a simple system for moving projects from resolve to vegas?

Try with Sony AVC-S codec or ProRes in VEGAS, Davinci just read it as missing file despite I've located the location

Hi guys. during testing phase i was able export XML file and import the xml timeline in resolve as shown in the videos above and my vegas timeline with proxy files was imported corrctly. But in actual phase and after i replaced proxy files with raw files, i did the same thing as before but now resolve can not find the raw files!

any idea why and how to solve the problem? I dont know if that makes difference but during the testing phase I used V17 to export the xml file and now i exported the xml file using v18
