Creating and Using Your Own Presets
If there is a particular group of settings that you find yourself using repeatedly, you can turn it
into a custom Easy Setup, for easy recall.
To create a new Easy Setup:
1 If you want to start from scratch, make sure to choose Custom from the preset panel to
unlock every setting in the Render Settings pane.
2 Choose the particular settings you require in the Video, Audio, and File panels for your
new preset.
3 Open the Render Settings Options menu, and choose Save as New Preset.
4 Type a name into the “Render Preset” dialog, and click Save. The new preset now
appears in the Preset panel.
To load a preset:
Click any preset. Every setting in the Render Settings pane updates to reflect the
preset you selected.
To change a custom preset that you’ve created
Click a preset you want to change, make whatever changes you need to in the Video,
Audio, and File panels, then click the Render Settings Option menu, and choose
Update Current Preset.
To delete a custom preset that you’ve created:
Click a preset you want to delete, then click the Render Settings Option menu, and
choose Delete Current Preset.
Choosing a Location to Render
The first decision you have to make when rendering your output is where it’s going to be
rendered. Accordingly, this is the first set of controls appearing at the top of the Render
Settingsparameters.
Filename: A preview of what the file name will be based on the settings found in the
File panel described later. The Custom/Timeline name and File suffix fields, as well as
the “Use x digits in the filename” settings all determine what name appears here. The
editable portions of this filename preview can also be edited here.
Location: Click the Browse button to choose a directory in which to write the media
being output by DaVinci Resolve. After you’ve selected a directory, the path name
appears in the “Render job to” field.
