User Manual

To rename a job:
Jobs can be given custom names simply by clicking on the default job name (Job 1, Job
2, and so on) and typing a new name of your own. This can be useful for setting up jobs
that you may be re-rendering over and over as you work on a project.
To start rendering:
1 If you want to restrict rendering to only selected jobs in the Render Queue, then select
one or more jobs by clicking on one, and then Command-clicking on others to choose
discontinuous jobs, or Shift-clicking on another to select an entire range of jobs. When
you select one or more jobs, only the selected jobs will be rendered. If no jobs are
selected, then all jobs in the queue will be rendered.
2 Click the Start Render button, underneath the Viewer to the right of the interface.
3 If there are jobs in the Render Queue that have already been rendered, a dialog will
appear asking “Selected items contain already rendered items. Do you want to re-
render them?” Clicking Yes will re-render all jobs in the Render Queue. Clicking No only
renders the jobs that have not yet been rendered. Clicking Cancel cancels the entire
rendering operation.
Rendering begins, starting with the highest job in the list. The Overall Progress bar
starts to fill up, from right to left, indicating how much of what’s been queued up has
been rendered so far. While rendering is in progress, the Start Render button changes
to the Stop Render button, which can be clicked at any time to halt rendering.
TIP: While rendering is in progress, a small progress bar will appear on the
DaVinci Resolve icon in the dock of Mac OS X, or on the taskbar of Windows.
To remove jobs from the Render Queue, do one of the following:
 To clear a specific job: Click the X at the upper right-hand corner of a job’s entry in the
Render Queue.
 To clear all previously rendered jobs: Click the Render Queue Option menu (at the
upper right-hand corner) and choose Clear Rendered.
 To clear all jobs: Click the Render Queue Option menu (at the upper right-hand corner)
and choose Clear All.
To change a job that has been rendered to appear unrendered again:
Right-click any rendered job, and choose Clear Render Status. You can also select
multiple jobs to change their rendered status all at once. This makes it easy to re-
render the exact same job.
To edit a job that has or has not been rendered:
1 Click the Pencil button in the Render Queue to select it.
Clicking the pencil icon to edit a
job in the Render Queue
The selected Render Queue’s settings repopulate the Render Settings list, and resets
the selected range of the Timeline corresponding to that job.
