FCPX-Resolve-FilmConvert workflow

So I've been using (and loving) the new FilmConvert plugin for FCPX. however, I'm wondering if anyone has figured out a god way to integrate it into a FCPX-Resolve workflow. Since Filmconvert manipulates color/gamma based on what camera/profile your footage was shot in, it realy needs to be applied before you grade. However, if I apply it in FCPX while cutting, the XML to Resolve will not carry the Filmconvert plugin through to Resolve. About the only solution I can think of is to cut my footage in FCPX, apply Filmconvert, then render a master file to import to Resolve using scene detect. This is quite a pain however, especially if I want to add transitions or compositing.

The other idea is to use do a grade pass in the freestanding FilmConvert app first and then import to FCPX. However, I usually don't transcode my DSLR footage anymore (to save drive space), since FCPX natively handles H.264 now. Also, I lose my freedom to change the film stock for different clips, since I usually do a rough cut before deciding on my look.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I'm not familiar with FilmConvert.

But Resolve 10 will bring effects from FCP X over. And it will support an open plugin format so these sorts of things can be converted to work directly inside of Resolve.

I'm very anxious to see Resolve 10 be released.

Hi Terry,

We're going to release a resolve plugin as soon as they release the next version.

In the meantime, you could try loading just the shots from your cut into the standalone, doing a pass in there, and then linking resolve to those files for the final grade.
