CrossFlow features:
what moves from Premiere Pro to DaVinci Resolve
Everything CrossFlow can do
Transferred natively
Multicam & nested sequences
Multicam sequences with the chosen angle, and nested sequences, transfer as real Resolve sequences.
Speed & time remapping
Speed changes, reversed clips and speed ramps (Time Remapping) are converted frame exact.
Bins, markers & colors
Your bin/folder structure, timeline and project item markers, and clip colors (when Premiere is set to match Resolve’s palette) all transfer.
Warp Stabilizer
Clips with Warp Stabilizer applied get DaVinci Resolve’s own Stabilization applied to match.
Proxies & linked clips
Proxies attached in Premiere are attached in Resolve too, and linked video and audio stay linked.
Transitions
Cross/Additive/Non-Additive/Film Dissolve, Dip to Black/White, Linear Wipe, Push, Iris transitions and Constant Gain audio crossfade carry across.
Merged & Remixed clips
Merged Clips and Remixed Clips come across as their own sequences.
AI Extended Video
Clips extended with Generative Extend become a nested sequence holding the original clip and its extension side by side.
Core effects
Position, Scale, Rotation, Anchor Point, Crop, Opacity, Blend Mode, V/H Flips, Volume, and Pan transfer natively, and also with keyframes!
Audio mixer & channels
Same Audio Track Mixer: Mono, 5.1 and 7.1 sequences keep their output, audio clips play the same channels as in Premiere Pro with their Clip Gain, Volume and Pan.
Timelines
Timelines start at the sequence’s Start Time and keep Drop Frame. Media and sequences with non-square pixels (SD, HDV, anamorphic) keep their size and place.
Falls back to a real render, never a silent drop
Some things Resolve genuinely can’t decode or reproduce. Instead of dropping them, CrossFlow automatically renders the affected clip through Adobe Media Encoder first, so the visual or audio result survives the trip. On by default and configurable per category. A transition next to a transcoded clip stays a real, editable transition when Resolve supports it, and a clip that lets the background show through is rendered with transparency, so the tracks below it stay editable.
Machine Transfer: Premiere Pro and Resolve on two computers
Export for Another Computer saves your converted project to a transfer file and lists exactly which media to send with it. On the other computer, Open Transfer File finds the media on its own, even if they were moved. The colorist then sends the graded clips back, without Premiere Pro on that computer, and CrossFlow puts them into a new copy of your project, even if you kept editing in the meantime. Any mix of Windows and Mac works. A project sent from a licensed computer converts in full on the other one, so one license is enough for the whole trip. Read the Machine Transfer guide.
Return to Premiere
Grade in Resolve, then bring it back. Once a clip has at least one Color Node applied, CrossFlow detects it, exports it out of Resolve, and builds a copy of the original Premiere Pro project with the graded shots replaced in.
Choose the export codec independently from the conversion’s own transcode setting between different ProRes profiles. Contact me if you need a different transcode setting!
Tasks & history
Every conversion and every Return to Premiere run is saved, with a full per-clip breakdown of what was converted, transcoded, or flagged, reviewable later even after closing and reopening CrossFlow.
Live progress shows while a task runs, with native OS notifications and a taskbar/dock progress bar when you look away.
Full Details now gives one line per kind of information, with how many clips it concerns. Show in Resolve opens the project right on a clip, transition, timeline or media. And a running task can be stopped with Stop Task, then resumed later with Continue Task.
Try it on your own project
The free trial converts the first 10 clips of every sequence, with every option on. See the result in Resolve before you buy.
