Import to DaVinci Resolve FAQ

​

What’s included in the exported files?

The exported file will include three components:

1. The original raw video
2. A ‘.xml’ file containing the generated clip content with auto captions, auto reframe and B-Rolls(if has)
3. A ‘.srt’ file providing captions with timestamps Please note: Auto captions generated by OpusClip will be exported as overlays and cannot be edited in Premiere Pro. Kindly make sure that you have completed the caption adjustment within the OpusClip editor and saved it before exporting the XML file. If you want to add captions using Premiere, you can import the ‘.srt’ files into Premiere and edit style and effects in Premiere.
