If you are talking about relinking inside MC, then I believe this is how it works. If the low res proxies were made at the source resolution, which they always should be in an all MC workflow (!), then FrameFlex will work as intended since the raster of the low and high res are the same.
If you are talking about conforming in Resolve from a MC timeline, then no, nothing of FrameFlex will translate. However, if the only thing FrameFlex was used for is to fit or crop in the basic settings, then you can set Resolve's timeline input sizing to match and these will work. I recently worked on a feature where the footage was shot anamorphic ARRI RAW, and the dailies were made as HD 1920x1080 but active picture inside was a scope letterbox. Thankfully the production wanted to finish in scope, so the basic Resolve crop with no resizing worked for 90% of their clips. I always try to reach out if possible to offline to advocate for only resize and 3D Warp. Anything else just doesn't make it, including sizing within Matte Key clips and the dreaded Submasters (shudder).
I guess because I primarily do finishing without much use of FrameFlex involved I haven't had an issue. I'm being more theoretical in my quandry. Given FrameFlex is a source setting like a LUT is it is derived from the original clip. It makes sense that a keyframe would stick to the clip itself. Perhaps my quandary is about the Global nature of applying FrameFlex to a clip in a source bin, which is how mine are usually applied, to that of a specific keyframed move using FrameFlex on a particular section of the clip in the timeline. Obviously the Resize or Pan & Scan effect is timeline based to a clip like a typical Avid effect is but the source setting nature of FrameFlex I'm curious about the interaction of a bin based Global FrameFlex to a specific move made in the timeline. Could those two things interact in an odd way. E.G. say I use FrameFlex in the source bin to take 4096x2160 material to 3840x2160, cropping off the wings to avoid black at the top and bottom in a UHD project. If I cut the clip in and then do a keyframed effect in the timeline what would happen if latter I relinked to hi rez virginal ama linked clips to the original source material. With a LUT it gets lost in Global bin source settings applications but where does the FrameFlex metadata live? Is it only in the source clip in the bin or metadata from the timeline move or a hybrid of both based on the addition of keyframes. I'm not in front of my system to tinker right now. I'm pretty sure I'm overthinking/complicating the workflow. I do understand that round tripping to Resolve I don't think FrameFlex data survives in Resolve but resize does. Perhaps that behavior has changed recently I haven't been paying attention.On Thu, Oct 16, 2025 at 12:44 PM, oklaroman . wrote:I've run into similar issues when roundtripping from Avid through Resolve. In my case the workaround is to add a keyframe per clip in the timeline. Then the proper sizing holds through relink. I'm still on 2023.8.2, so that issue may have since been resolved.jj
