— Use MIDI Audio Console: A checkbox lets you enable the use of a third-party audio console that’s connected to your workstation. Turning this on exposes three additional menus.
— MIDI Protocol: Lets you choose either the HUI or MCU protocol, whichever is compatible with the audio console you want to use.
— MIDI Input: Lets you choose the MIDI input used to connect your console.
— MIDI Output: Lets you choose the MIDI output used to connect your console.
General
This panel provides various options for scripting, audio processing, monitoring, and sending problem reports.
— External Scripting Using: (Resolve Studio only) Options include None, Local, and Network.
When set to None, only scripting in the Console window is allowed. When set to Local, external scripts and applications on the same computer can control DaVinci Resolve. When set to Network, external scripts and applications from other computers on the network (or via the internet) can control DaVinci Resolve.
— Use 10-bit precision in viewers if available: This checkbox only appears on macOS installations of DaVinci Resolve. Turning this checkbox on lets DaVinci Resolve display 10-bit images in
the Viewer.
— Use Mac Display Color Profile for viewers: If you’re using DaVinci Resolve on macOS, this checkbox enables all viewers in DaVinci Resolve to use whatever display profile is selected in the Displays panel of the System Preferences. This lets DaVinci Resolve use ColorSync on macOS so your Viewer image should better match your output display.
— Optimize project library cloud data traffic: If you’re having difficulty accessing the Blackmagic Cloud through a corporate firewall, check this box to connect without having to set port mapping and firewall exceptions. https://blackmagicdesign.com still needs to be whitelisted for access.
— Automatically Tag Rec.709 Scene Clips as Rec.709-A: Turn this checkbox on to automatically tag any Rec. 709 QuickTime files for Rec. 709-A playback. This setting is useful if your final QuickTime video does not match what you see in the Resolve viewers (gamma shift), and you wish to export for the web rather than broadcast.
— Automatically Scan other project libraries for remote rendering jobs: Turn this checkbox on to scan all connected project libraries, rather than just the current project library for possible remote rendering jobs.
— Automatically Check for Updates: Turn this checkbox on to make it easier to ensure you’re using the latest version of DaVinci Resolve. You can also choose DaVinci Resolve > Check For Updates to notify you of new versions and download them when available.
— Automatically opt-in for new beta program notifications: Lets you know when public beta versions of DaVinci Resolve become available, in case you’re interested in living on the edge.
— Send report when application quits unexpectedly: When this checkbox is turned on, this setting enables DaVinci Resolve to automatically prepare a problem report whenever DaVinci Resolve unexpectedly quits. You get to fill out some information (please be as specific as you can about what you were doing when DaVinci Resolve had its issue) and click a button to send the report.
— Limit Presentations upload speed to X KB/s: Allows you to set a hard limit on the upload speed while using Presentations to avoid saturating all your network bandwidth.
