Importing to Resolve Error

[MonzterDev]

Bug description

When importing into Resolve the timeline is very...odd. I believe the image does a better job of explaining it than words.

I've tried a few ways of importing into Resolve, but my primary way is:

• Right click the Media Pool
• Hover over Timelines
• Hover over Import
• Select the AAF / EDL / XML / etc option
• Select the .fcpxml file

Once the Load XML... screen pops up, I do not adjust any of the settings.

This happens both with the CLI & GUI versions.

Hello, sorry you're having problems.

For the CLI, try using the latest version. I've changed how the Resolve export works since then.

pip install -U auto-editor

Hey, that did solve this thanks. Although, an issue I'm not encountering is that the video clips aren't linked with their audio tracks. Would that be something you'd consider looking into? If so, should I open a separate issue?

Also, unrelated to the issue... I am using the GUI with Mincut & Minclip set using decimals, so 0.7 / 0.4 in my case, but the CLI only seems to use whole numbers. I considered using 7 / 4 for the CLI would give me the same results, but they did not.

[WyattBlue]

Sure, you can make a separate issue.

For the CLI, mincut and minclip are in "timebase" units. If you wanted to set 0.7 seconds, the value in "timebase" units would multiply 0.7 by your video's fps.

fps = 30
round(0.7 * fps)
>>> 21  # This is the number you would set
