Ah okay awesome, I see. Thats interesting about the ProRes 4444 XQ, just did some research on it, pretty cool. Thanks for the reply!

Okay am now using MLP. Regardless of what I am using to convert, I still have the lingering question of when VFX come in?

I have a question and can't seem to find a proper answer....or possibly I don't know how to read. This is my current workflow

1. Convert MLV's to cDNG's using RawMagic
2. Import cDNG's into Resolve and do a base grade
3. Export proxies from resolve (.mov's)
4. Import proxies into Premiere and do the main edit
5. Export XML from Premiere
6. Import XML into Resolve and relink with raw files
7. Do a final color grade in Resolve and export clips at top resolution
8. Import and relink full res files into Premiere for final export

Where do effects come into play? Say I need to add some muzzle flashes and other effects in after effects?
My thoughts:
I was thinking of exporting the specific clips needed for SFX at full res before the final grade, import into AE, do the effects, then export as a DPX from AE. Import these DPX files into Resolve, then do the final grade along with the other clips, and export at full res, then back to premiere.

Would I lose quality on these few specific SFX clips? There is no way to add effects in AE then export back to a cDNG is there?

I am shooting raw and use DaVinci Resolve. I import as all clips as DNG sequences to put a primary color correction, export as proxies, do complete edit in FCP 7, export as an XML then reconnect in Resolve to do a final color correction and export. I needed to add some special effects in After Effects for some specific clips, so I imported as DNG sequence, added the effects but am wondering what should I export as so no quality is lost and I can import into Resolve, make proxy, edit in FCP7, connect XML in Resolve then final export, as stated above. If I could just export as a DNG sequence from AE this would all work seamlessly, but I am aware this is not possible. Any ideas?
