Export XML Only for Premiere

Hi everyone,

I've exported a very render-heavy job only to discover my XML's were dodgy (generic error) in Premiere due to the inclusion of retaining audio tracks in my Resolve timeline.

In Resolve, I've tried going back into the Edit tab and exporting an XML from there, only to discover it just wants to relink to the original media back in Premiere.

I've since deleted the audio in Resolve, but now need to generate a new XML so I don't have to (waste my life) re-exporting the job again. Surely I can just generate a new XML in Delivery? I really don't want to have to re-export the whole project just to generate a text file...

You could just generate a new XML from the timeline on the Edit page of the version that has no audio track.

Note that FCPX uses a later version of XML that actually has more capabilities. I'm pretty sure even the latest version of Premiere is still using the older XML standard from FCP 7.

Hi Marc,

Yes the problem is that the XML generated from the Edit page is referencing the source material and not the graded exports from Resolve; which also have 50 frame handles and unique filenames.

Okay I just had a thought – does anyone know if it's possible in Premiere to select all my homeless, graded clips in the project and blanket change the in and out points on all of them so that it effectively shaves off the 50 frame handles on my clips?

As the clips are numbered, I should (hopefully) be able to drop them into a new sequence without having to generate a new XML at all...

Hi,

I imagine your project has been done for a while now. But its a question I have been asking myself too. 'Cause sometimes Resolve does'nt export the XML.
So I tried exporting the same timeline as a Premiere XML but without checking the VIDEO. Exported it in the same folder as my clips and it worked!

Hope this can help someone someday.

I am having issues with this as well.

My end goal is to get my rendered clips back into Resolve to grade without un-linking the original source media from the edits I cut in Resolve (I wanted to see how Resolved handled as an NLE, which isn't bad).

My plan was to send the graded project to Premiere to conform and back into Resolve, newly rendered clips attached.

All XML and EDL attempts to get from Resolve, with the rendered clips, on the timeline have failed. The timeline always populates with original source media, in both Premiere and Resolve.

I tried un-ticking the video check box on the deliver page to export an XML only however then the "Add to Render Queue" button greys out.

Best,

I solved my issue by going to the edit window, having the sequence I rendered my clips from open, and going to FILE > EXPORT AAF, XML > and choosing AAF Files (*.aaf).

Premiere read that correctly with the rendered media.
