Rendering Files vs. Outputting to Tape
Because the Deliver page does double duty, you control whether you’re rendering files or
outputting to tape using the Tape button in the Interface toolbar. Doing so replaces the controls
in the Viewer with tape controls.
Render or Edit to Tape modes
The Render Settings
The Render Settings contains the customizable settings that determine how media is rendered
out of DaVinci Resolve. If you’re using the Tape option, these settings are disabled.
Render Settings
The Render Settings are divided into four general sections:
Render Presets: At the very top, a scrollable row of icons lets you choose one of a
series of presets to quickly set up the type of render you want. The Custom option
exposes all render settings so you can set up a render manually.
Render Location: A Browse button opens a dialog that lets you choose a volume
and directory to render to.
Render: Two options let you either render the entire selected area of the Timeline as
a single clip suitable for reviewing or mastering, or as a series of individual clips more
suited to round-trip workflows. The option you choose here changes which render
settings are available below.
Video, Audio, and File Render Settings Panels: All other render settings are divided
among three panels. Checkboxes at the top of the Video and Audio panels let you
selectively disable video export (if you want to export the audio only) or disable audio
export (if you want to export video only).
