Use Mac Display Color Profile for viewers: If you’re using DaVinci Resolve on macOS,
this checkbox enables all viewers in DaVinci Resolve to use whatever display profile is
selected in the Displays panel of the System Preferences. This lets DaVinci Resolve use
ColorSync on macOS so your Viewer image should better match your output display.
Automatically Check for Updates: Turn this checkbox on to make it easier to
ensure you’re using the latest version of DaVinci Resolve. You can also choose
DaVinci Resolve > Check For Updates to notify you of new versions and download
them when available.
Automatically opt-in for new beta program notifications: Lets you know when public
beta versions of DaVinci Resolve become available, in case you’re interested in living
on the edge.
Send report when application quits unexpectedly: When this checkbox is turned
on, this setting enables DaVinci Resolve to automatically prepare a problem report
whenever DaVinci Resolve unexpectedly quits. You get to fill out some information
(please be as specific as you can about what you were doing when DaVinci Resolve
had its issue) and click a button to send the report.
Automatically send problem reports: When this checkbox is turned on, problem
reports are automatically sent, with no user intervention. You have the option of
adding your name and email address to be automatically included, but this information
is optional.
Internet Accounts
DaVinci Resolve 16 introduced integration with YouTube, Vimeo, and Frame.io that allows you to
render and upload directly to each service. This panel provides buttons that let you sign into
your YouTube, Vimeo, and Frame.io accounts, as well as specify a local cache location for
media being synced with Frame.io.
For each service you sign into, a floating window presents the interface in which you’ll need to
enter your login name and password to enable integration, followed by whatever two-factor
identification and other required steps are necessary. Once entered, DaVinci Resolve will sign
in to each of these services automatically when DaVinci Resolve opens.
The Internet Accounts panel of the System tab of the DaVinci Resolve Preferences window
NOTE: For Frame.io, the local cache location is used to store clips you import into a
DaVinci Resolve project from the Frame.io volume in the Media Storage panel of the
Media page.
