If “Disable sizing and blanking output” is turned off: Output Blanking, Cut and Edit
page sizing adjustments, Color page Input and Output Sizing adjustments, and Image
Stabilization are rendered into the final rendered media using the optical-quality sizing
algorithms available to DaVinci Resolve. This is best if your sizing adjustments are
approved and final, and you want to “bake” sizing adjustments into the final media
you’re delivering.
If “Disable sizing and blanking output” is turned on: Output Blanking, Cut and Edit
page sizing adjustments, Color page Input and Output Sizing adjustments, and Image
Stabilization are not rendered, and each clip will be rendered either at the source
resolution if “Render at source resolution” is enabled in individual clips mode, or
to the currently specified resolution of the Timeline or project. However, the sizing
adjustments you’ve made will be exported as part of the XML or AAF file that you’re
exporting. This is best for workflows where the editor wants to continue adjusting
sizing after you’ve handed off the graded project relative to the original size of the clips.
Keep in mind that if you want to render Input Sizing adjustments into the media you’re
outputting, the “Force sizing to highest quality” checkbox guarantees that DaVinci Resolve will
use the highest-quality sizing setting, even if you’ve temporarily chosen a faster-processing
option for a slower computer.
NOTE:Disable sizing and blanking output” does not disable any transform operations
that happen within the Fusion page, nor does it disable transforms happening as a
result of an OpenFX or ResolveFX plug-in applied to one or more clips in the Cut, Edit,
or Color pages. All of these effects will continue to be rendered into the final output.
Rendering Mixed Frame Rate Timelines
Mixed frame rates are supported by DaVinci Resolve when any option other then none is
selected in the “Mixed Frame Rate format” drop-down menu, either in the Conform Options
section of the General Options panel of the Project Settings, or in the Import AAF or XML
dialog. When you choose the appropriate option that corresponds to the application you’re
exchanging projects with (or DaVinci Resolve if you’re working entirely within DaVinci Resolve),
then DaVinci Resolve conforms and processes all clips in the Timeline to play at whichever
frame rate is selected in the “Timeline frame rate” drop-down menu. For example, 23.98, 29.97,
30, 50, 59.94, and 60 fps clips will all play at 24 fps if that’s what “Timeline frame rate” is set to
in the Master Settings panel of the Project Settings.
How clips in mixed frame rate timelines are rendered out depends on whether the Render
Settings are set to render Individual source clips or a Single clip.
Individual source clips: All clips are rendered individually at their original frame rate.
Single clip: All clips are converted to the “Timecode calculated at” frame rate and
rendered as a single media file. Clips are converted using whatever method is selected
in the Retime process drop-down of the Master Settings panel of the Project Settings,
or in the individual Retime process setting found in the Video inspector of each clip
that overrides the project-wide setting. You can choose Optical Flow processing for the
highest quality conversion that’s available in DaVinci Resolve.
