Importing and Exporting Stills

It’s possible to import still images in different graphics formats into the Gallery, which can be particularly useful when a client provides reference images to which they’d like you to refer. It’s also possible to export stills from the Gallery, which is good for sending a series of reference stills for approval to a remote client. In both cases, you can choose whether to import or export images with an accompanying LUT.

For both import and export, DaVinci Resolve supports the following file formats: DPX, CIN, TIFF, JPEG, PNG, PPM, BMP, and XPM.


To import one or more still images:

1 Right-click anywhere on the gray background of the Gallery.

2 Choose one of the following commands:

image

Import: Imports image files, along with a matching DRX file, if one is present in the selected directory.

Import With Output LUT: Imports an image and DRX file, along with a matching LUT file, if one is present in the selected directory.

3 When the Import Stills dialog appears, choose the type of files you want to import from the “Files of type” drop-down menu, then navigate to the files you want to import, select them, and click Import.

To export one or more still images:

1 If you want to export Gallery stills with labels that have been added to them, right-click anywhere in the background of the Gallery and choose “Use labels on still export” in the contextual menu so it becomes checked.

2 Select one or more stills in the Gallery.
