Reel Number Support from Final Cut Pro EDLs
To be able to handle larger than 8 character reel numbers from Final Cut Pro EDLs, DaVinci Resolve
supports extraction of the reel name using the comments.
On the settings tab of the config screen, select the option called “Extract Reel Names from
EDL comments”.
e.g. Consider the following event in the CMX EDL
001 REEL02_T V C 01:02:54:24 01:02:50:24 01:00:54:24 * FROM CLIP NAME: REEL02_TEST.MOV
DaVinci Resolve will read the reel name as REEL02_TEST
This option is especially useful for conforming CMX EDLs generated with reference to RED r3d clips,
which have longer than 8 character reel numbers.
Changing the Conform Frame Rates
As mentioned, it is important that you apply the correct frame rate for the material within the Conform
Options display prior to adding material into the Media Pool or creating a Master Session within the
Conform page.
If you enter an incorrect frame rate in the Timeline Conform Options display, the resulting source
timecodes that are calculated will be incorrect. Once information is added into the Media Pool or a
Master Session is created, this control within the Configuration screen will become unavailable.
To change the value within the Timeline Conform Options display you must delete the Master Session
and remove any information in the Media Pool.
