Body: <p>I have a project that I've edited in Davinci Resolve 12 where I want to add a logo in the beginning. However, Resolve won't import either PDF, SVG or EPS format, so I created a high resolution PNG of the logo instead. Even though the PNG file looks fine on its own when looking at it, when bringing it into Resolve, it gets very pixely.</p>
  
  <p>As a backup solution, I tried importing the original PDF into Final Cut Pro X instead and exporting a MOV file that I could bring into Resolve. However, the logo got pixely when exporting it from FCPX as well.</p>
  
  <p>So, I'm at a bit of a loss here. How could I properly work with vector files so that the result looks smooth?</p>

  Ok, so I solved it myself, and it wasn't pretty.
  
  To be able to work with my vector file in Davinci Resolve 12 (and in Final Cut Pro X without loosing any detail), I first had to convert it into a font. Yes, you read that correctly. I had to create a font where I assigned my logo to a specific character and then use the font in my editing program.
  
  More specifically, to achieve this, I used the excellent [Icomoon web app](https://icomoon.io/app/#/select) where I could import my vector image, assign it to a character code (in my case, I used "30", which stands for numeric zero in standard [UTF-8](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-8) encoding).
