It might seem complicated at first, but sending projects from Premiere Pro to Resolve (and vice-versa) is actually pretty straight forward. Once you understand the various methods (EDL, XML, and AAF) for completing a Premiere Pro to Resolve roundtrip, you’ll be able to take full advantage of two of the most powerful editing and color grading tools on the market. Thankfully, both applications support a large variety of file types and formats, which makes for a very complementary experience. While the Premiere Pro Lumetri Color panel allows for some speedy color grading and automatic adjustments, many teams benefit from using Resolve’s in-depth color grading tools alongside an Adobe Premiere Pro video editing workflow. Even though Adobe and Blackmagic are actively battling it out in a war for our timelines, using the two applications together opens up an entirely new world of possibility. Premiere Pro and Blackmagic Resolve both offer incredibly powerful standalone features.
