For many video professionals, moving projects between Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve remains one of the most frustrating parts of the post-production workflow. Traditional XML and AAF transfers can introduce errors, requiring editors and colourists to spend valuable time repairing timelines, speed ramps, keyframes, clip states, markers, and audio automation after the transfer.
Relink aims to simplify this process. Its Premiere-to-Resolve conversion engine transfers native Premiere Pro project files directly into DaVinci Resolve projects, reducing the amount of manual fixing and troubleshooting typically required. While no migration tool can guarantee perfect results in every situation, users report that Relink significantly streamlines the transition and helps preserve more of the original edit than traditional interchange formats.
The result is a faster and less disruptive workflow, particularly for teams that edit in Premiere Pro but complete colour grading and finishing in Resolve. Instead of spending hours conforming timelines and correcting translation issues, editors can focus more of their time on creative work.
Relink describes its Premiere-to-Resolve converter as the first step toward a broader vision: a frictionless post-production pipeline where projects move seamlessly between editing, colour grading, audio, and finishing tools. For professionals working across multiple platforms, it is a promising development worth keeping an eye on.
