Final Cut Pro 7 to DaVinci Resolve

I haven’t found a FCP7 to Resolve 9 video tutorial, but the steps are almost identical to those for Premiere Pro with a simple XML interchange. Instead check out this post from Ilovehue.net who has a great 11 page pdf which you can send to clients who are preparing their own FCP7 projects to hand over to you the colorist. They don’t need Resolve to follow these steps but it will make for a much smoother handover process. Mathieu’s pdf is also a great primer for any colorist on what notes to include when accepting a grading project.
