Exporting from Davinci to Final Cut Pro X

Hi all,

I am finishing a short film project, I have edited in Final Cut Pro X (latest version) and a friend graded the film in Davinci Resolve on a PC. The film is natively shot on 4K ProRes 422HQ. However, we discovered that there is no ProRes export option in Davinci on PC, so my friend exported in DNXHD 4K, he says that is what corresponds to ProRes. But now that I have the exported files on my Macbook Pro, none of them open in FCPX neither in Quicktime Player. They open (with a lag) in VLC, but not in Compressor nor Mpeg Streamclip.
Does anybody here know how we can export in ProRes from Davinci or losslessly batch convert the files to ProRes on my Mac? Or can I somehow install the DNXHD codec on my computer and make the files readable.

Thanks
 
Hi. You mean to download this on the Mac? Or would it also work to download a ProRes codec package to the PC?
BTW, the files are already in .mov
I tried to download the Avid QT Codecs LE 2.3.4 Mac.zip package on the Mac, but the installation failed. Isn't it only for Avid?
Thanks!

Upon checking I see the link above points to an older version of the codecs. Try this link instead.

This codec package should enable you to play back the files in FCPX.

There is no "ProRes package" available for use on PCs. I guess it's a licensing thing.
 
As far as I know Davinci can export to xavc-i. Or he can export the xml files. You then can import the xml files using the original foorage.
 
Hi. Thanks.
I installed the package and then... boom, FCP could import the clips! BUT, the play back as a green image. And when I export, it is only green on the screen, no film image. Sound works. I tried doing a new sequence (project). Don't know how to continue...
Thanks
 
Thanks, can you develop further on this? How can FCP recreate the grading colors only using an XML file?
