DaVinci XML Attributes Behavior explanation needed

PostSun Jan 17, 2021 2:49 pm

Here's a small edit:

Here's how it looks when exported as an XML from Resolve and reimported back into Resolve, please note the icons on clips meaning they have Attributes:

Here's the same edit done in Adobe Premiere, exported as an XML and imported in Resolve:

My question is, what's with the modified Attributes on every clips when using the XML from Resolve as per the second screenshot?

Then, if you remove clips attributes, clips opacity get set to 50%:

The same sequence exported as an XML from Premiere imports as expected into Resolve as can be seen in the third screenshot.

Could someone please clarify what's with Resolve's XML?

Thanks,
Danny

What kind of XML are you exporting form Resolve - FCP 7, FCPX or Premiere Pro?

I'm exporting from Resolve in the "FCP 7 XML V5 Files" XML format.

I don't have the FCPX neither Premiere Pro XML formats you mentioned:

Is there a reason you have the transform disabled in the inspector?

The "Transform" switch being disabled is the result of me not checking "Use sizing information" in the Load XML... prompt window when I imported the XML (exported from Resolve) back into Resolve.

Checking it doesn't change a thing about the modified Attributes I'm talking about in my OP.
