How to convert DaVinci Resolve Project to FCPXML
Convert a DaVinci Resolve project to FCPXML for Final Cut Pro online. CutConvert reads the .drp in your browser, no DaVinci Resolve required, and writes FCPXML 1.10, the format Final Cut Pro imports: a Final Cut project per timeline, every clip on its own lane with source in and out, and a media reference per file so Final Cut relinks to the footage. Nothing is uploaded.
Add your .drp file
Drag the DaVinci Resolve project onto the drop zone. It is read locally: timelines, tracks, clips, source ranges and media paths.
Convert
Press Convert. The preview shows the first lines of the FCPXML, and the Kept/Changed line says what survives: clips, names, timing and media paths are carried; transitions become cuts; effects and markers are not written.
Download your result
Download the converted file instantly, or a single ZIP archive when you convert a batch of files.
Import in Final Cut Pro
File → Import → XML, choose the .fcpxml. Each timeline arrives as a project in an event named after the file. Relink to the media if Final Cut asks, then rebuild transitions.
Resolve project and FCPXML (Final Cut Pro), explained
Final Cut Pro does not read FCP7 XML, the format DaVinci Resolve exports and the XML converter on this site writes, and DaVinci Resolve does not write FCPXML. This converter reads the .drp directly and writes FCPXML 1.10. Every clip is written as a connected clip on a lane above or below a single storyline gap that spans the timeline: video track 1 is lane 1, video track 2 lane 2, audio track 1 lane -1, and so on, so the layout in Final Cut matches the track layout in DaVinci Resolve. Video lanes carry only picture and audio lanes only sound, so nothing doubles. Timing is written on the frame grid of the timeline rate (23.976, 24, 25, 29.97, 30, 50, 59.94 or 60), which Final Cut requires. The timeline start timecode is kept. Frame size is not stored in the .drp, so the timeline is written as 1920×1080 with a warning; change it in the project settings if the edit is another size.
Timelines out of the .drp and into Final Cut Pro as FCPXML: clips on lanes, source in/out, media references, 01:00:00:00 start kept. It is free to start, encrypted in transit, and converts a whole batch into one ZIP — sign in when you need large, high-volume jobs.
DaVinci Resolve Project to FCPXML FAQ
Does it need DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut Pro installed?
Neither. The .drp is read directly in your browser and the FCPXML is written there. You need Final Cut Pro only to open the result.
Why FCPXML and not the XML converter?
The XML converter writes FCP7 XML (xmeml), which Premiere and Resolve read but Final Cut Pro X and later do not. FCPXML is Final Cut Pro's own format; this page writes version 1.10, which current Final Cut Pro imports.
What does Final Cut show after import?
An event named after the file, with one project per timeline. Inside, a storyline gap the length of the edit with every clip connected above or below it on lanes that mirror the source tracks. It is not a magnetic primary storyline; select the clips and use Create Storyline if you want one.
What is not carried?
Transitions become cuts at the clip boundary. Effects, colour grades, speed changes and markers are not written. Clips whose media had no file path in the project are written as placeholder gaps of the same length with a note, so the timing stays intact.
Will the media relink?
Each media file is written once as an asset with a file URL to the path stored in the .drp. If the footage is at that path on the Mac that imports the XML, Final Cut links it directly; otherwise use File → Relink Files and point at the folder.
Which frame rates and sizes are supported?
All standard rates: 23.976, 24, 25, 29.97, 30, 50, 59.94 and 60, written as exact rationals on the frame grid. Frame size is assumed 1920×1080 because the .drp does not store it for the converter to read; set the project size in Final Cut if the edit is 4K or vertical.
Is the project uploaded?
No. Conversion runs in your browser; the site records only the file name and size for metering.

Small, everyday batches are free to convert. For large or high-volume jobs you'll create an account and upgrade, which keeps the free tier fast for everyone.
What do I get when I convert multiple files?
Drop several files and you get back one ZIP archive containing every converted file. Convert a single file and you get that one file back, no ZIP.
Which formats are supported?
You can convert EDL to CSV; SRT and VTT subtitles to each other and to plain text; SRT, TXT, and DOCX/DOC transcripts to Premiere Pro transcript JSON; SRT to Avid Media Composer caption TXT; and Premiere Pro .prtranscript exports to SRT, VTT, or text, with speaker labels preserved. More post-production formats are on the way.
Can I pick a frame rate?
Yes. For EDL and Avid caption output you can choose 23.976, 24, 25, 29.97, or 30 fps, or let CutConvert auto-detect it from your source.
