DaVinci Resolve - How to Save a Copy of a Project and how to Relink to Media on a Different Hard Drive


Put the Color Corrected files from Resolve into your AVID Project.
Open the exported Resolve files. There will be ONE .aaf file and several .mxf files.
This example is short - most projects will have a lot more .mxf files.

AVID reads media from the Avid MediaFiles folder on the root level of the hard drive. The .mxf files exported from Davinci Resolve must be moved to this folder. See example below.




Copy or Move the .mxf files to the AVID MediaFiles>MXF>1 folder.

After the files are moved to the Avid MediaFiles >MXF>1 folder on the hard drive open the AVID Project or make a new one.
