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!

    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.

    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?

      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.

      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 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.

      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.

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

      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.

    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!

      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.

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