How to convert Premiere Project to DRP

Convert a Premiere Pro project to DaVinci Resolve in your browser. CutConvert reads the .prproj directly and writes a .drp with timelines, media references and supported editing controls. Choose sequences and audio tracks in Advanced settings, then import the result through Resolve's Project Manager. No Premiere installation or project upload is needed.

  1. Add your .prproj file

    Drag the Premiere Pro project file, the actual .prproj, onto the drop zone. You do not need to export anything from Premiere.

  2. Choose what to transfer

    Open Advanced settings to select sequences and audio tracks, choose editable easing or frame-grid samples, and include or exclude markers, transitions, audio automation and audio effects. Convert, then read the report for any limits affecting your edit.

  3. Download your result

    Download the converted file, or one ZIP when you convert a batch.

  1. Review the sequence list before conversion.
  2. Import the downloaded DRP in Resolve’s Project Manager.
  3. Open the timeline, relink media and review titles, effects, speed changes and audio.

DRP carries supported cuts, sequence settings, media references, bins, markers, basic titles, transforms, transitions, speed changes and audio levels. Grades, arbitrary effects and unsupported routing need recreation. Read the report, relink media and compare playback before delivery.

Premiere project and DaVinci Resolve project, explained

Move a saved Premiere project into Resolve without opening Premiere. The DRP includes supported sequence settings, tracks, media paths, bins, markers, nested edits, basic titles, picture transforms and opacity animation, dissolves, constant speed changes and positive linear speed maps. Supported track and bus gains are folded into editable audio controls. Eligible scalar easing stays editable; other curves use frame-grid samples within bounded limits. Your project and media stay on your computer. Lumetri grades, Warp Stabilizer, third-party effects, some audio routing and unsupported retimes need recreation. The conversion report identifies those limits. Relink the original media and compare playback before delivery.

Move your Premiere edit into Resolve with supported animation, transitions, markers and audio levels. Choose what to transfer. Your project stays on your computer. 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.

Premiere Project to DRP FAQ

Do I need Premiere Pro or Resolve Studio?

Premiere is not required. Import the DRP through Resolve's Project Manager. Timelines up to UHD and 60 fps can use the free Resolve; larger or faster timelines require Resolve Studio and are delivered separately when the project also contains timelines the free version can open. Direct playback validation is scoped to Resolve 21 on macOS and the media types described in the report.

What exactly is converted?

Timelines, tracks, cuts, media references and supported sequence settings, bins, markers, nested edits, basic titles, transforms, opacity, dissolves, speed changes and audio levels. Support depends on each feature's source data and timing. Advanced settings lets you choose what to include, and the report lists approximations and omissions. Grades and arbitrary effects are not recreated.

How do I open the .drp in DaVinci Resolve?

In Resolve's Project Manager, right-click and choose Import Project, or use File > Import Project. Select the .drp and open the imported project. Relink the media to your files if Resolve asks. The paths from the Premiere project come along, so relinking is automatic when the files are in place.

Why does my timeline start at 01:00:00:00?

The converter retains a decoded source sequence start timecode. If the source does not specify one, it uses Resolve's one-hour default and reports that choice. Check the report for frame-grid rounding when the source has subframe timing.

What if my project has sequences at different frame rates?

Each timeline keeps its source frame rate and dimensions in the same project. The timeline with the most clips sets the project settings and opens first. Timelines that need Resolve Studio are placed in a separate project when the others can open in free Resolve. The report names any custom timeline settings.

Is .drp output better than FCP7 XML for Resolve?

XML is the established interchange path and imports one timeline at a time. A .drp arrives as a whole Resolve project with all timelines and the media pool set up. If .drp import misbehaves with your project, the prproj to XML converter is the proven fallback.

Questions, answered

Where are my files processed?

In your browser. The file never leaves your computer, and CutConvert only records that a conversion happened. We never see, store, sell or share your media.

Is it free? Do I need an account?

Files up to about an hour of footage convert free on every converter. CapCut projects are free up to 500 KB. Guests get five conversions a month; a free account has no monthly cap within the free size caps. Bigger files are $3 each, or $5 for a project conversion from one program to another. Pro is $9 a month ($90 a year) for files up to 50 MB. Studio is $19 a month ($190 a year) for files up to 500 MB.

What do I get when I convert multiple files?

One ZIP with every converted file. A single file comes back on its own. Press + to add more output formats: they go in the same ZIP, and each file still counts as one conversion.

Which formats are supported?

Projects in: Premiere .prproj, DaVinci Resolve .drp, Avid AAF and bins, Final Cut FCPXML, CapCut drafts and Audition sessions. Projects out: FCP7 XML, FCPXML, Resolve .drp, AAF, CapCut and REAPER, plus CMX 3600 EDL and shot-list CSV. Transitions, markers, titles, keyframes, levels, speed changes and nested sequences carry over wherever the target app can hold them. Captions: SRT, WebVTT, SBV, ASS, TTML, DFXP, iTT, SCC, MCC, EBU-STL, Avid caption TXT, timed CSV, Word and plain text. Transcripts: Whisper, WhisperX, AssemblyAI, Deepgram, Rev.ai and CapCut JSON, Premiere transcript JSON and .prtranscript, and Rev, Otter and Word-style text. Styling, placement and speakers come along where the output supports them.

Can I pick a frame rate?

Yes. For EDL and Avid caption output, choose 23.976, 24, 25, 29.97 or 30 fps, or let CutConvert detect it from your source.
