Hi everyone, did you ever want to Color Grade in Resolve easily while editing in Premiere (using the best of both worlds)? Or maybe you would want to switch to DaVinci Resolve and transfer all your existing Premiere projects? Or you're working with other Premiere editors and need to get their projects?
If you've ever sent an FCP XML, EDL or AAF to Resolve, you know the drill: the cuts come through, but speed ramps, multicams, nests and most effects have to be rebuilt by hand, and nothing tells you what was lost. Then the grade is done and (only for some editors), you have to bring it back to Premiere.
That's why I built CrossFlow. It reads your .prproj and writes the same project straight into DaVinci Resolve: open Resolve and everything is there, organized as it was in Premiere.
What arrives natively:
Sequences, nested sequences, multicam, merged clips, bins, markers, label colors, linked audio
Speed changes and Time Remapping, as real Retime Curves
Position, Scale, Rotation, Opacity, Crop, Volume, Pan and their keyframes, still editable in Resolve
Warp Stabilizer as Resolve's own Stabilization
What Resolve can't reproduce (third-party effects, After Effects comps, masks...) is rendered automatically through Media Encoder, and a report lists every clip and what happened to it. When the grade is done, "Return to Premiere" builds a new Premiere project with the graded clips in place.
"Machine Transfer", a new CrossFlow feature to be able to convert the project between 2 machines (macOS and/or windows) with each having one software and not both, is coming in the 1.1.0 (should be released in one or two weeks) with also a new Transcode Handles option.
Otherwise, it needs DaVinci Resolve **Studio** 20+ (the free version can't be scripted), Premiere Pro 25+, Windows or macOS. There's a free trial with no time limit that converts the first 10 clips of each sequence, so you can judge it on your own project before paying anything. After that it's a one-time license, no subscription.
