Using Presets for Fast Rendering
The very top of the Render Settings list has a set of presets for many of the most common
rendering workflows you’ll need to accomplish. If you want to create your very own settings,
then choose custom. Each preset automatically sets up what you need and locks you out of
settings that are not necessary for rendering that type of media.
Render presets selection
Custom
When custom is selected, nothing is automatically set, and all conventional media rendering
options are available, except for those that are specifically associated with particular presets.
You must manually choose the settings and options you need. All Render settings are saved on
a per-project basis.
YouTube and Vimeo Presets
Two presets let you render media specifically for video sharing services, with the option to
upload the rendered files automatically.
YouTube 720p/1080p/2160p
A drop-down menu lets you choose three different resolutions to render to. Selects the
appropriate settings for exporting your program as a QuickTime H.264-encoded file suitable for
uploading to Vimeo, YouTube, and many other video file sharing services. Renders a single clip,
and sets the Video Format to QuickTime, the Codec to H.264, and the Audio Codec to AAC. In
addition to providing the option to automatically upload to YouTube, a Description field and
Visibility and Category pop-ups let you choose how you want your video to be presented
when uploaded.
Vimeo 720p/1080p/2160p
A drop-down menu lets you choose three different resolutions to render to. Selects the
appropriate settings for exporting your program as a QuickTime H.264-encoded file suitable for
uploading to Vimeo, YouTube, and many other video file sharing services. Renders a single clip,
and sets the Video Format to QuickTime, the Codec to H.264, sets the video data rate to
10,000 Kb/s, the Audio Codec to AAC, and the audio data rate to 320 Kb/s. In addition to
providing the option to automatically upload to Vimeo, a Description field lets you enter text to
be added to your video when uploaded and adjust the various visibility options that Vimeo
offers, including password protection.
Setting Up Video Sharing Uploads
DaVinci Resolve 16 introduced integration with YouTube, Vimeo, and Frame.io that allows you to
render and upload directly to each service. An Internet Accounts panel in the System tab of the
DaVinci Resolve Preferences lets 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.
