Hello,
So I've been working on a 45-minutes live action short movie since last year, and I've ran into the point where my project crashes when I try to open it in the first, second and third attempts. It eventually opens in the fourth or fifth attempt.
I've decided to render out all the clips indivitaully and then relink them into a new timeline using an xml.
Of course my plan is to create a new resolve file and then import all the rendered clips along with the xml into it. The problem is that these xml presents in Resolve were designed for round tripping the project into another host like premiere, avid, or FCPX.
There is no a specific xml designed to round trip the project from resolve to resolve itself. The xml designed for FCPX is the best one to get the closest result among the others when using it for Resolve.
I think there should be eventually a need to get that special xml for two reasons:
1. If run into the problem where the project doesn't open, you can use the xml to gain back all the editing work you did whether to use it in a new Resolve file or using it in a previous one.
2. With the integration of Fairlight and Fusion, you might want at certain point to render out all the clips and relink them into a new timeline before start working on VFX or audio works.
The reason you might want to do that is to get a cleaner timeline with all the color grading and stabilization effects rendered out before taking it to Fusion or even Fairlight.
When lots of effects are piled up, things will get slow and sluggish and the project is prone to crash.
Even though you can do everything in Resolve without the need to take it to another host, that doesn't mean you won't have the need to create a new cleaner timeline with most of the video and audio effects rendered out before adding more effects into it.
