How can I properly import multicam project from Premiere Pro
Posted: Sat May 17, 2025 11:01 amHi everyone,
I’m working on this kind of project for the first time and could really use some help.
I received footage from an event, recorded using three cameras: one Sony A6500 and two Sony A7iii.
The material was roughly cut and audio-synced in Premiere Pro using PluralEyes by someone else. I didn’t work in Premiere myself.
The files are organized into folders, and I was given .xml timeline files for each folder.
My goal is to edit a full event reportage in DaVinci, using the synced and pre-cut clips as a starting point.
However, when I try to import the XMLs and use the Multicam workflow in Resolve, the software freezes and crashes. I’m not sure if I’m importing things the right way or if there’s something wrong with the XML structure or media links.
The total footage is quite large – around 400 GB.
System specs:
AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
AMD RX 6750 XT 12GB
32GB RAM 3600MHz
Windows 11
DaVinci Resolve Studio 19
Has anyone successfully imported multicam timelines from Premiere into Resolve and continued editing there?
Any tips, workflows, or potential troubleshooting steps would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
