Are you set in Resolve to use embedded time code and assist with reel numbers that are embedded in the source file? Beware of short round trip tests with Resolve. If your short tests don't involve overlapping time codes on the test clips there is a potential to miss possible errors in Avid's tape name vs Resolves Reel number. If you are set as I mentioned at the top of my post you should end up with matching tape name and reel number. This is assuming those bits of meta data are all in the Cannon files. I've not worked with them so I can't share any actual experience with this type of file.

We only learned a few days ago that Avid refused to import the footage via the Canon plugins because the plugins don't support true 24. So we went into Da Vince to transcode. The camera footage also has an audio scratch track that shares a timecode with the separate sound being recorded so that syncing would be easy. I transcoded everything successfully to DNxHD36 and brought it into Avid. We also did a test where we cut a few clips together, exported an AAF to take the timeline back into Resolve and it linked back to the master clips without any problems. We'll need to do this later to retranscode to DNxHD175x which is what the colorist plans to work with. However, I've run into an issue where the original timecodes of the footage don't seem exist in the transcoded version. So if I try to sync sound using the timecodes, it doesn't work. This is a problem because we're short on time and were planning to get an assembly cut done before the next leg of shoot. If we had to manually sync everything, that would take forever and throw off our schedule. We were hoping that if the timecodes worked, then the sound designer could later sync up only the sound used in the final edit timeline. In short, my question is, do you know if there are settings in Resolve that preserve the original timecodes and keep the scratch audio when transcoding to DNxHD36 to edit in Avid?
