Steve was asking on my behalf. We were doing our first Avid MC v7 to Resolve v9 roundtrip last week. I made the mistake of reading the Resolve manual and found this on page 186:
"Step 1—Create a Project in Media Composer
1. When creating a project in Media Composer, take note of the image format details, as these
should be matched in DaVinci Resolve. In particular, set the image format (e.g., 1080p/24) and
raster dimensions (e.g., 1920x1080) to match your desired mastering format. Also, color space
should be set to RGB 709 if you're planning to send ingested/transcoded media from Media
Composer to Resolve for grading.
Note: This information can also be found in the Avid Project Format tab."
I'm guessing that it might just be a typo or misunderstanding in the writing of the manual now. I'll do another test with YCbCr media this time in a project on Monday.
