Documentation
The whole handoff — from dropping a .prproj on the Hub to bringing the graded shots back into Premiere. Condensed from the user manual; each topic has its own page.
Konformista rebuilds your Premiere Pro edit inside DaVinci Resolve — with transforms, retimes, transitions and audio routing intact — and packages it so it drops straight onto the Resolve timeline. When the grade is finished, it brings the graded shots back into Premiere.
It fixes the two things that usually break a Premiere → Resolve handoff:
Not a transcoder — it doesn't re-encode your masters. Not a grade translator — it reports grade intent, it doesn't recreate a look. Not a replacement for human QC — it makes review faster. Everything runs locally; your project and media never leave your machine.
A few ideas run through the whole app. Once they click, the rest is just screens that do what their labels say.
Rebuilding your edit in another application so it matches frame-for-frame — same cuts, timing and transforms. Konformista conforms your Premiere sequence into Resolve.
Every clip that carries risk arrives flagged by severity, color-coded so you can triage at a glance. You'll see the same six colors in the analysis, on the clips in Resolve, and in the Review window. See the full catalog →
