Yes, we have found if you try to move projects between Avid, Baselight, Final Cut Pro X, Premiere, Resolve, and other kinds of editing software, variable-speed shots will sometimes be off. Sometimes the first frame is correct, but the last frame is not; sometimes, it's the opposite. The granular nature of timecode and different kinds of optical flow speed-changing will yield different results.
What we do is use a reference movie supplied by the client, and that movie has embedded visible timecode for source file and record timecode. We compare the shots directly, and if they're off a frame, we manually shift it. That's the way it is -- it's not a Resolve problem.
