Place reels in separate folders: Automatically places all media that’s output using a
particular reel name into corresponding folders.
Place clips in separate folders: Automatically places alternate grades of clips into
separate folders.
Use version name for folders: Labels each folder with the name of the version when
using the Commercial Workflow option.
Render speed: A drop-down menu lets you throttle the speed at which media is
rendered. Ordinarily you’ll leave this set to the default of Maximum. However, some
storage systems that are shared by multiple rooms in a facility use storage area
networks (SANs) with insufficient bandwidth for multiple real-time image streams.
DaVinci Resolve’s incredibly fast rendering speeds can cause playback problems with
other users accessing the SAN if available bandwidth is insufficient. In this case, you
can throttle the render speed to limit SAN bandwidth usage to between 1 to 50 percent
of full rendering speed.
Disk space currently used: Shows the amount of disk space available on the
targetvolume.
Disk space used after render: Shows the new disk usage based on the specified
range of the current session that you’re rendering.
Additional Outputs
Each job you create in the Render Settings defaults to a single output. However, you can create
multiple outputs when you need to deliver multiple versions of media, with individual video
formats and codecs and different data burn-in settings, to be rendered into individually named
subfolders (optional).
This can be useful for setting up multiple rendered passes when your client requires two sets of
media, for example QuickTime ProRes 422 (HQ) media along with MXF DNxHD media. This is
also useful when you need to output two sets of media where one has window burns, and the
other is clean.
To add additional outputs in the Render Settings:
Choose Create Additional Output from the Render Settings Option menu. A row of
numbers below the Filename and Location controls let you open each output you
create and adjust its settings. You can have as many outputs as you require.
