Lately I've been working on a show offlined in FCP7. For mastering, I render a textless quicktime for each act from Resolve, drop that back into FCP to add back graphics. (I was able to do this once I got BCC OFX for Resolve to duplicate the effects used for offline.) I could actually render out a single QT for the entire show with slugs in for act breaks, but per-act is just easier to keep track of for me.
I can't offer you a reliable workflow for round-tripping media composer to resolve.
After attaching graphics and audio in FCP7, I render a 23.98 quicktime out of FCP. You can probably guess how I get that onto tape at 30i / drop frame. ;-)

Mr. Greg,
Is you normal workflow a Resolve Round Trip or do you bake a file out to color in Resolve. Are you delivering straight out of Resolve once done?
If you are using the round trip what do you do when you get a sequence full of Pan and Zoom stills, or moving picture stills etc...
I feel like while I'd be prepping for a Resolve round trip I'd already be outputting to tape from my Symphony. Oh wait what's tape? Oh it's the thing I still have to deliver most projects on in some way shape or form. I'm sure that will disappear in time but given my understanding that for most Resolve's tape output is not reliable I'd always have to come back to Avid or something to go to tape.
As to your smart cache, doesn't After Effects do something with Ram Preview that's similar when you play something the first time?

So, I do most of my color work in Resolve now. I know there are diehard Symphony colorists on here, and I still have to do it from time to time, but resolve is my coloring tool of choice. There's one particular feature in Resolve that really needs to find its way into media composer - and every other NLE. I have no idea if the architecture even allows for it, but: Smart Cache. Say you use a plug-in, or keyer, or something that's a little too taxing for the computer in real time. If 'smart cache' is turned on, anything that won't play in real time is CACHED as you play through it the first or second time in non-real time. Noise reduction, a boris plug-in, whatever. Make a change, the cache goes away, until you play through it once. It's friggin' amazing. No 'render selected clips' or crap like that, no changing playback resolution, etc. It just caches the first (or second, if you started from the middle of the clip) play through. If your cache settings match your output settings, you can use cached clips for output, saving render time.
As an editor, resolve is still in it's rough toddler years - but there are smart things in the architecture that make me I'm anxious to see where it goes. Yes, it crashes, but not as often as my media composer!
