DaVinci Resolve

Resolve splits editing, color, and audio across separate pages; Sequence keeps all three on one timeline, switching tools in the Inspector instead of switching pages. Your bin, marker, and multicam habits transfer directly — this page covers what changes and where each page's tools land.

Timeline interchange via OTIOGenerate Timeline Package (OpenTimelineIO) — Resolve is the default Compatibility presetExport to OpenTimelineIO (OTIO)

Resolve is Sequence's most direct interchange partner

OpenTimelineIO opens natively in Resolve, and it's the only app a Sequence timeline package opens in without an extra conversion step. Headed to Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro instead? Import the OTIO into Resolve first, then use Resolve's own Export to Premiere Pro or Export to Final Cut Pro option.
