Using DaVinci Resolve
Mastering your Edit
So now you’ve edited, color corrected and graded your clips you’ll want to export a render of
your edit in the ‘deliver’ page. This page lets you select the range of clips you want to export,
plus the format, codec and resolution you want. You can export in many types of formats such
as QuickTime, AVI, MXF and DPX using codecs such as 8-bit or 10-bit uncompressed RGB/YUV,
ProRes, DNxHD, H.264 and more.
To export a single clip of your edit:
1 Click on the ‘deliver’ tab to open the deliver page.
2 Go to the ‘render settings’ window on the top left of the page. In the ‘video’ settings,
select ‘single clip’. Choose a video format and codec, and resolution. The frame rate
will usually be locked to the project settings frame rate. If you want to include audio
with your export, tick the ‘export audio’ checkbox in the ‘audio’ settings.
3 In the ‘file’ settings, select ‘use custom filename’. Name your export, then choose your
destination by clicking the ‘browse’ button and selecting a folder location. Click ‘ok’.
4 You’ll see the ‘deliver timeline’ stretched across the bottom of the page. Select ‘all clips’
to select the entire program for rendering.
5 Go to the bottom of the ‘render settings’ and click on the ‘add job to render’ queue
button. Your render settings will be added to the render queue on the right side of the
page. Now all you have to do is click ‘start render’ and monitor the progress of your
render in the render queue.
When your render is complete you can open the folder location, double click on your new
rendered clip and watch your finished edit.
The ‘deliver’ page is where you export your edit. You can select from many different video
formats and codecs.
After adding your render settings to the render queue,
click the ‘start render’ button to export your edit.
