Preserve folder hierarchy after x folder levels: Retains a user-specified depth of the original directory structure used by a clip’s corresponding source media file, recreating it when rendering new files for output. The number you select determines how many levels of subdirectories DaVinci Resolve will automatically create within the currently specified “Render job to” directory to match the path used by the source files. Defaults to 0, which creates no matching subdirectories. The number of path levels is defined relative to the head of each media file path.

Relink to new files: (Appears for the Copy operation only) Relinks the selected clips and/or timelines to the new media you’ve created by copying, wherever you’ve copied it to.

File Naming When You Consolidate Media

When you’re media managing clip-based formats like QuickTime or MXF, if the “Trim Used Media” option is on, and the “Consolidate Multiple Edit Segments Into One Media File” checkbox is off, then timelines that use multiple clips derived from the same media file will generate multiple trimmed media files. To prevent these files from overwriting one another, additional characters are appended to each trimmed media file coming from the same source; which characters are used depends on the video format.

For DPX files: _0, _1

For R3D files: _S000.RDC, _S001.RDC

For QuickTime files: _S000.mov, _S001.mov
