Importing comments to Da Vinci Resolve

Is there a way to sync a replay video with my resolve timeline if I did not originally export the video directly to dropbox? I'm not seeing any way to connect the two after the fact. Thanks!

Hey @gkramer10, thank you for posting!

Would it be okay for me to reach out to you via email so we can have a look into this internally?

Keep me posted.

Actually I've uploaded (directly from the Deliver page in Davinci) three different long videos and the comments were syncing perfectly to the timeline, but just noted 4 or 5 of the comments did not sync. Is there a way to refresh and let Davinci recover those lost comments/markers?

Thanks!

Hey @nicokasaka74, thanks for letting us know about this.

Mind if I send you an email, so we can look into this a bit more closely?

Thanks!

nicokasaka74

no problem.

Hannah

Perfect, I just reached out to you, so make sure to check your emails!

I'm also looking at how to set up seeing the comments back in Resolve.

Edit: Never mind! Just need to RTFM. Details for Resolve Replay usage are in the November 2021 Resolve manual, starting on page 262.

Is there any way to make solutions to this more public? I've got the same questions but don't see an answer.

Hey @KirkwoodImaging, thanks for joining the discussion here.

Would it be OK if we reach out via email to have a further look internally?

Thanks so much, Bryan.

Hi Hanna, how are you?

I think I never got any email regarding this...

is it possible to talk about it?

nicokasaka74

could I see the answer for this as well?

This is very weird, that any question anyone makes you guys just ask to connect privately.

Strange...

Would like to collaborate and access to the info as this is a beta.

Hey there. I have problems with comments not syncing with my DaVinci Resolve Timeline after exporting through the Dropbox Replay Delivery option. Also, I cannot import those comments into my DRT with XML or any other export options. Not sure if this is the appropriate thread, but I cannot seem to find answers anywhere else. Thanks.

Hello,

I exported a video through Dropbox Replay and checked the 'upload to dropbox' option in the Delivery tab in DR, but the comments my client left from the preview link are not showing up on my DRT as advertised. Also, I cannot import the XML as DR says it is an invalid Final Cut XML.

I know Replay is still in beta but is there any workaround where I can sync my comments? Thanks.

Hannah

Hey @RCK1985, thanks for using Replay and for reaching out to us today.

Do you mind if I actually send you an email, so we can look into your issue internally?

Thanks.

RCK1985

Yes, you can. Do you want me to post it here or you can access it through my profile?

Hannah

I got it, thanks! I just sent you an email, so make sure you check your inbox.

Hi All,

I am having the same problem, can I get some help with getting the Dropbox comments/markers into my DR?

I uploaded via DR directly to Replay.

Thanks in Advance,.

Hi everyone,

I have the same issue. A list of comments but not synched to my video.
I see that dropbox repplay allows export to xml or cvs, but cannot import on davinci resolve.

Walter

Hey @ProMeiFilms & @simosla, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

Would it be OK if we reach out via email to have a further look internally?

I have the same problem can you help me? i just buyd the advance and it dosent work 😞

Fred Schenk

I would like to know the solution too. Unfortunately I have to render the videos on one machine and edit on another. Apparently Resolve and/or Dropbox don't automatically sync my comments to both machines.

Hello I have the same question. It looks like I have several options to export the comments from Dropbox Replay. Is there a way to upload these to DaVinci Resolve in a meaningful way so my team can look at the comments on the timeline there?

Thank you!
Sam

I have a work around, which works on just one machine. I export the comments as CSV, then import the CSV into an Excel. The Excel generates the lines which I copy and past in an EML-file which I can import to a timeline. Very time consuming, but (just) better than adding them by hand.

samhakes

I'm not sure I'm that committed. I have 265 comments on a 45min short film.

Walter

Hi all, thanks for your patience while we looked into this internally.

The team mentions that there is no current way to mass sync comments after exporting while the comment sync issues reported in this thread are fixed by Da Vinci Resolve 18.5 beta.

You can read about adding comments to Da Vinci Resolve in this Help Center article.

I hope this helps!
