User Manual

 Custom Text1: A line of text that you type into the Text field of the Custom Output
parameters. You can use any characters you like. When editing any of the three
custom text fields that are available, you can use “metadata variables” that you can
add as graphical tags that let you display clip metadata. For example, you could add
the corresponding metadata variable tags %scene_%shot_%take and the custom text
would display “12_A_3” if “scene 12,” “shot A,” “take 3” were its metadata. For more
information on the use of variables, as well as a list of all variables that are available in
DaVinci Resolve, see Chapter 173, “Using Variables and Keywords.”
