User Manual

 Export HDR10 Metadata: (Available in Single clip mode if HDR10+ is enabled in
Project Settings) Exports HDR10 metadata to the rendered file when you’re doing an
HDR workflow.
 Embed HDR10 Metadata: (Available in Single clip mode if HDR10+ is enabled in Project
Settings) Exports HDR10 metadata to the rendered file when you’re doing an HDR
workflow. Embeds HDR10 metadata within the exported media of selected formats.
 Render at Source Resolution: (When rendering Individual Clips) This checkbox lets you
render each clip at the same resolution as its source media file, letting you preserve
mixed frame sizes for final delivery.
 Resolution: The output resolution for rendering. This setting defaults to the current
resolution of the project as set in the Master Settings panel of the Project Settings,
modified by whatever transforms are applied in the Sizing palette in Output mode.
However you can change the resolution here if you need to output at a different
resolution. Using this setting, you can queue up different render jobs at different
resolutions, in order to output both HD and SD resolution media in the same render
session, for example. Some file formats require specific resolutions, in which case the
Output Size settings will be automatically set to the necessary resolution.
 Frame rate: (When rendering Single Clip) This setting is typically identical to the
“Timecode calculated at” frame rate in the Master Settings panel of the Project
Settings. However, you may wish to set this to a variation of the current conformed
rate, for example choosing from between 23.98 or 24 fps. Doing so will adjust the
metadata written within the file, which is used to aid playback for the range of systems
available worldwide.

3:2 Pulldown Insertion Options: Starting with DaVinci Resolve Studio 12.5, you have
the option of outputting either 29.97 or 30 fps media with 3:2 pulldown insertion if
your project’s playback frame rate is either 23.98 or 24 fps. To output 29.97 media,
the project must be 23.98 fps; simply choose (23.976 3:2) from the Frame rate drop-
down. Projects with 24 fps frame rates can only be output at 30 fps.
 Export Alpha: (When rendering Individual Clips) Turning this checkbox on results in
alpha channels found in each clip’s source media file being output to each delivered
clip, as well as alpha information that you’re creating in DaVinci Resolve and inserting
into that clip via the Alpha output of the Color page Node Editor being output to each
delivered clip.
 Alpha Mode: (When rendering Individual Clips) Lets you choose how to export alpha
channels when Export Alpha is enabled. You can choose Straight or Premultiplied.
 Render Stereoscopic 3D: (Only appears if there are stereo clips in a timeline) Three
options let you choose how to render stereoscopic timelines, rendering just one eye’s
worth of media at a time, or rendering a single set of stereo media in one of four ways,
depending on the option you choose from the “Both eyes as” drop-down menu.
–
Left eye: Lets you render only the left-eye media from a stereo timeline.
–
Right eye: Lets you render only the right-eye media from a stereo timeline.
–
Both eyes as: Lets you select from four ways of rendering the left and right eyes of
stereo media as a single set of media files. “Separate files” lets you output both the
left-eye and right-eye media as individual media files, all at once. Side-by-side, Line-
by-Line, and Top-Bottom let you output frame-compatible media that can be output
to stereo-capable displays. Anaglyph lets you output a traditional anaglyph red/cyan
stereo image for viewing on any display using red/cyan glasses.
 Use Constant Bit Rate: If the Format and Codec you’ve specified allows you to switch
between variable and constant bit rate output, this checkbox lets you force video to
render at a constant bit rate.
