I am having a problem cleaning xml’s ever since I upgraded Resolve to 17.4.6

Every time I export my XML’s and then import in flame I am losing all the source timecode.

Any idea why?

Not sure if it’s the new Resolve, but exporting as .edl worked for me.  
Posting just in case someone ever runs into it and doesn’t want to waste their time solving.

If you’re cleaning XMLs from Premiere, you could try the Premiere XML fixer in the Logik Portal.

I’ve had fairly good luck cleaning up XMLs by using the Generate New AAF export in Resolve. Not sure why, though.
