Best proxy practices in Resolve : your opinions

Hello,

Please don't hammer me if this could be found on the forum (I looked for with "proxy" keyword), but I didn't find something accurate. Also please, try to avoid rtfm yells, I've always read all of them whenever a new version of Resolve was released

So actually I'm collecting advices about working with proxies in a workflow that includes FCP and Resolve, especially when :
- I would use R3d 4k files
- I would NOT but PR 4444 instead
I'm not used to work with proxy files...

1/ Did I miss a way to automate the transcode of "whatever mov" footage in Resolve, as possible with raw DNG ?
2/ Above all, what's best (or simply to do hehehehe), after having graded proxy files in Resolve, to reconnect to native rushes in order to go on cutting in my NLE ? (or any other way to grab native - not proxy - files graded back in NLE)
I don't have particular problems working with XML roundtrip by the way...

At this point, I'm sure I kept bad slacker practices (tricks based on replacing folders with same names inside in the finder hehehehehe).

THX in advance, it would make my... week

Ok, to be more precise, I found that thread which helped a bit viewtopic.php?f=3&t=7928 , and this one too : http://www.hurlbutvisuals.com/blog/2013 ... -workflow/

But please, I really need your opinions about different ways to relink to native files, and steps not to forget since the beginning.
The manual is not very helpful about this topic...

I would like to know too...

Well actually it seems the this roundtrip would be ok

Hi.
Watch this tutorial, is very very clear.

Yep Alessandro, thx a lot

Actually I was not totally unaware, to be honest... I've been grading on Resolve very frequently since version 9, but... I thought it was possible to use the DPX workflow ("add to proxy manager") for every format. Actually not, and therefore your post is indeed a good summary...

Now, to go a bit further, I wonder wether you follow this workflow or not when a "last moment change" occurs in the cut, so that you're grading what corresponds to an XML... which won't match the new NLE timeline anymore .

In brief, ok for XML roundtrip :
1 proxy making > 2 xml export > 3 NLE xml import > 4 cut on proxies > 5 NLE xml export > 6 resolve import without "automatically import files....." > 7 grading on native files .....

What if you're at stage 7, but the TL changes (for whatever reasons) at stage 4, not to lose what you've graded at this point ?
You re-export thus go back to stage 4, or just manually add new footage in Resolve and go on ?
Or else ?
