Adobe Project Make a New Bin Title the bin "Export to Resolve"
Duplicate the Final Pic lock sequence
Rename it so it is obviously your final timeline Ex: Export to Resolve - Final 04_10_18 Dates are helpful here!!
Move the timeline into the newly created Export Bin you just made
If you were using Proxies Reconnect to the 4K media, uncheck the "Enable proxies" under the "Premiere Pro CC > Settings > Media..." menu check box Click OK
To check that the files are being referenced properly to the 4K media you can "right click" on the file in the Project Window and choose "Reveal in Finder" Will now show you that the files are linked to the XDROOT folder using the 4K native data that you backed up off the Sony F5 SXS card Now you can color correct and export at 4K resolution
Right click the timeline and duplicate it again!! Yes do this because we are going to delete the audio tracks next.
Title this one the same but put "No Audio"
Load the copied timeline by double clicking it. It'll load into the Sequence Window
Get all your video tracks down to 2 tracks if possible. 3 at the most. NOTE you do not need subtitles for color correction so remove those Lock all your video tracks

If you were using Multicam select the sequence and then flatten it (right click on the selected video track and select Multicam->Flatten)
VERY IMPORTANT BAKE IN YOUR motion effects Flips and flops and splitscreens THESE EFFECTS will not transition over to resolve. Best to bake them into the timeline as high quality clips before you export.
