Choosing a Location to Render
The first decision you have to make when rendering your output is where it’s going to be rendered. Accordingly, this is the first set of controls appearing at the top of the Render Settings parameters.
— Filename: A preview of what the file name will be based on the settings found in the File panel described later. The Custom/Timeline name and File suffix fields, as well as the “Use x digits in the filename” settings all determine what name appears here. The editable portions of this filename preview can also be edited here.
— Location: Click the Browse button to choose a directory in which to write the media being output by DaVinci Resolve. After you’ve selected a directory, the path name appears in the “Render job to” field.
Single Clip vs. Individual Clips
While there are numerous options available in the Render Settings of the Deliver page, there are basically two overarching ways you can render your project, depending on which of the “Render” radio buttons you click in the Output group.
Render a single clip or individual clips
Single Clip
When you select the Single clip option, you’re setting up a render wherein all clips in the session are output together, as a single media file in whatever format you choose. This means you’ll be rendering the selected range of the session to a single MXF or QuickTime file, or as a single collection of
image sequences.
— Timecode: The timecode that’s written out is dictated by the “Start timeline timecode at” setting of the timeline being rendered. Media files contain a continuous timecode track, while image sequences have timecode written into each frame’s data header, and integrated into the file name (as a frame count).
