Import Clips With Metadata Via Final Cut Pro 7 XML
In order to support workflows with media asset management (MAM) systems, DaVinci Resolve supports two additional Media Pool import workflows that use Final Cut Pro 7 XML to import clips with metadata.
— Right-click anywhere in the background of the Media Pool, choose Import Media from XML, and then choose the XML file you want to use to guide import from the import dialog.
— Drag and drop any Final Cut Pro 7 XML file into the Media Pool from the macOS Finder.
Every single clip referenced by that XML file that can be found via its file path will be imported into the Media Pool, along with any metadata entered for those clips. If the file path is invalid, you’ll
be asked to navigate to the directory with the corresponding media. Additionally, the following metadata is imported:
— Clips
— Browser metadata
— Subclips
— Clip Markers, with colors and duration
— Bin Hierarchy
— Comments
Adding Media With Offset Timecode
Sometimes source media was created with incorrectly offset timecode, due to mistakes made earlier in the postproduction process. If this offset is consistent, you can use the “Add Folder with Source Offset” command to add media to the Media Pool as clips with a timecode offset.
