[Avid-L2] Avid AAF to Davinci Resolve

Hi Everyone!

I'm having some trouble with a conform in Davinci Resolve 9 from an Avid AAF (made in Avid 6.0) with Red Footage. Basically when I import the AAF into Resolve it does not link automatically to the Red footage I brought into the media pool. In the past with other projects, I have had no problem with it linking automatically. It does, however, link with a force conform, but that seems to be more a workaround rather than solving the problem.

Here are some errors I am encountering:

-Does not link when Red Footage is in the media pool
-When I click on 'automatically import source clips into the media pool' both with and without 'ignore file extensions when matching' and point to the folder with the Red Footage it says the clips were not found.
-When I click on 'automatically import source clips into the media pool' and link it with the lower resolution footage, it brings the clips into the media pool, however, doesn't link with them because 'the reels do not match.'

Here are some variables that are different from the usual projects I work on:

-The .R3D files have a "_001" ext that doesn't correspond with the Avid files. For example, the Red file is "A001_C002_05206K_001.R3D" and the avid file is "A001_C002_05206K."
-The footage is anamorphic

Please let me know what you guys think or if you need any more info.

Thanks!
