Original subtitles

All right, so it's time to export our video.

And that is done within the deliver tab. Down here at the bottom,

it's the last tab of Da Vinci Resolve.

And in this lesson I'm gonna walk you guys through the layout of the deliver

tab. Now in the top left we have our render settings.

This is probably the most important part of the deliver tab,

and this is where we choose the settings that we want to export our video at.

At the very top over here we have a bunch of different presets that we can

choose from. Uh, the first one is custom,

which will allow us to customize a bunch of different settings down here.

Next we got YouTube. And if we click this little arrow next to YouTube,

it will give us some presets for the resolution that we want to export at.

So 7 20, 10 80 and 2160 is 4k. So if I press that,

we can see 38 40 by 2160. That's the resolution.

So that's just a quick way for us to jump to 4K over here for YouTube.

And honestly, most of my projects are exported for YouTube.

I don't really upload my videos anywhere else.

It's usually just YouTube and Instagram.

And when we choose the YouTube preset over here,

the settings that come with these presets are the most ideal for uploading to

YouTube. So if you are uploading to YouTube,

use this YouTube preset over here because it is confirmed,

the best setting possible for uploading to YouTube. Uh,

next to that we have Vimeo Twitter, we have Pro Re.

So sometimes I'll export in Pro Re if I want to retain as much information in my

footage as possible. Pro Re is a much more uncompressed and bigger file size,

but it's going to allow you to retain a lot more information.

So if I'm sending footage to someone like a colorist,

I'm definitely gonna want to select Pro Re so that they have as much information

to work with as possible. And next to that we have H 2 64, which is the default,

uh, for a lot of my exports, except you can just find that here in custom.

You have the option to choose what Kodak you want to use down here. Um,

and after that we have some other options too, like Premier xml,

which will allow us to export the files individually from our timeline as well

as an XML file so that we can hand over this project to someone else so that

they can open up this Da Vinci resolved project file in Premier with the XML and

all the original files.

And then we have some last presets over here geared towards, uh,

sound productions. So, uh, if we're trying to export our timeline,

maybe we want to export like stems and stuff like that,

we can do that using these presets over here. Uh, for AVID and Pro Tools.

And we have an audio only option here as well.

If we are just trying to export the MP3 or Wave file,

we don't care about the video, then we're gonna wanna go this audio only route.

Now below these presets over here, we're able to give our file name a name here,

so we can call this whatever we want. So in this case,

we will call this one plus v1 cuz who knows how many versions there's gonna be.

And below that we can choose the location we wanna save this file to.

Now below that we have the option to choose whether we want to render this

entire timeline as a single clip or as multiple individual clips.

So this is a really amazing feature within Da Vinci that is so

huge. Uh, this was something that really frustrated me back in Premier Pro.

There was no option to export my timeline as individual clips. Well,

in Da Vinci that is an option here and it's been such a blessing in so many

situations cuz in my workflow there's been many situations where I needed to

export my entire timeline, um,

but all of the clips in my timeline individually and not export it all as one

clip. Now below that we have three different buttons here to focus on the video

settings, audio settings, and the file settings.

So under video we have the ability to choose the format and the Kodak mp4.

H 2 64 is what I export most of the time. Like I said before,

sometimes I'll export as Pro Re and if that's the case,

I can click this dropdown over here, head over to Pro Re, uh, so QuickTime

and below that I can then choose Apple Pro Re.

So sometimes I'll be exporting at Pro Re depending on the situation if I want to

retain more information.

And the plan is for this footage to continue to be edited. Uh, after I export,

if this is the final project, I'm gonna be uploading it to the internet.

I'm probably just going to leave this as H 2 64 over here.

Below that we have the resolution and frame rate.

And I usually never touch this because most of the time my project settings have

already been set at the beginning of the project. Uh, now keep in mind,

like I said before,

we are able to edit in a 10 80 p timeline just to save processing power.

We can hit shift nine to go to our project settings.

So sometimes we will be working in a 1920 by 10 80 timeline.

And if that's the case,

then we will see that the default resolution that this is set to is 1920 by 10

80. And if we bump this up to 38 40 by 2160 and we click add surrender queue,

we'll get this little popup over here that says add higher resolution renders.

Basically this is just telling me that we are now trying to upscale our 10 80 p

timeline into a 4K resolution export.

So it's a good thing that we get that popup because it's,

it's a little reminder that's letting us know to go back into our project

settings and switch our timeline resolution from 10 80 h d back to 4k.

Once we've done that, we can see the default export over here goes back to 4k.

Now the frame rate, you don't want to touch that.

Now we have this new option down here below frame rate that allows us to export

our marker metadata within our timeline.

And this is actually helpful for YouTube videos because we can now use those

markers to create chapters within our YouTube videos,

which can be very helpful. That is a new feature within YouTube.

It's something I haven't personally done yet because I haven't really been

uploading much YouTube videos in the past year.

I've been so focused on this course,

but I will be making a video on how to do this as a separate video.

Now below that we have the quality setting here and I pretty much always leave

this on automatic unless I have a restriction as to how big the file

size can be.

So in the off situation that the client that I'm working with or the website

that I'm trying to upload something to has a file limit size,

then I'm able to select this restrict two option over here and I can play with

the kilobytes per second over here to limit the file size.

So this is a good alternative to just decreasing the resolution over here

because I can still maintain that 4K resolution but actually limit the file size

by restricting the kilobytes a second right here.

But 99% of the time I just leave this on automatic rate here and below the

quality settings over here we have some advanced settings.

Normally that would be closed, so we have to open it up like this.

So in my personal workflow, I pretty much never touch the advanced settings,

but there are a bunch of extra things that you could play around here with if

you need to. Uh, for YouTube, for Instagram, for things like that,

I I pretty much never touch the advanced settings,

but just know that they are here in case you need to make any advanced settings

changes.

Now another thing I always check before I add the render job to the render queue

over here is I go to this dropdown over here above my timeline and I make sure

that I have the right thing selected.

So depending on what it is that I'm trying to render,

maybe I'm just trying to render the in and out range, um,

then I'll wanna make sure that that is selected.

If I'm trying to export my entire timeline,

then I'm gonna want to make sure entire timeline is selected. In this case,

I do want to export my entire timeline so I can make sure that entire timeline

is selected. In this case,

the in and out range is the same length as the entire timeline.

So it doesn't really matter what we have selected there.

So once I've made sure that all of those are set exactly how I want them to,

I can click add to render queue.

And now we can see that we have a new job within our render queue.

And the reason we have a render queue here is so that we can add multiple jobs

in at once so that way we don't have to wait until one job is completed to add

another job to the render queue and then render out that one.

We could basically load up this render queue with a bunch of different jobs.

So we can put like 10 different projects within here. Uh,

maybe one of the projects is just an individual clip, uh,

or maybe it's just a smaller range of our timelines.

So maybe I can export just this range over here.

Maybe I wanted to also export that,

but maybe I wanted to export it at 1920 by 10 80.

I can add that to the render queue as well.

Now we can see we have job one and job two and we can also rename these jobs

within the render queue as well just to stay a bit more organized.

And that can be helpful if you're working with a lot of different jobs within

your render queue. So in this case,

we can call this second job 10 80 p export.

Um, and the first one here, we can call this one 4k.

Now the 10 80 P export is just going to be the in and out range.

So it's just gonna be the smaller section right here.

So now that I've filled up my render queue with all the render jobs that I want

rendered, I can click render all and now I can go have lunch, have dinner,

take a nap, do whatever I want, and I know when I come back to my computer,

all of the jobs that are listed within the render queue here are going to be

completed. I'm not going to have to wait until one of the jobs is completed,

add another one to the render queue and then render out that one.

They are going to render out consecutively, which is awesome.

So notice as we are finishing the first render,

the second render will automatically start just like that and just like that,

we've successfully completed both of these renders.

Now one more thing I wanna bring your attention to in the deliver tab is the

clips button over here.

This is the same clips button that we see within the color tab, uh,

which allows us to see this thumbnail view of all of our clips in our timeline,

right? So if I disable that, that view is gone. If I click it,

we can see all of our thumbnails.

Now the cool thing about this is we can actually use the flags that we've added

to certain clips to refine what clips are in this timeline here.

So if I click this little dropdown over here and I go to grouped and I select

group five, we can click apply filter.

Over here we can see that we had to change from single clips to individual

clips, uh,

but now we can see that we've refined our timeline to only that one group of

clips.

So this is just a quick and easy way for me to export just that one group of

clips, that group that I made within the color tab.

And there's some other options over here as well, so I can do, uh,

any flag clips. So in this case,

we only have one flag clip in our entire timeline.

This could be an easy way for you to refine what clips in your timeline you want

to render.

So this little dropdown arrow here next to clips can be very useful if you are

trying to export just a certain group of clips, uh, you know,

whether they're grouped or they have keywords attached to them or maybe they

have flags or markers on them,

this is a great way for you to refine that selection of clips and only export

a certain group of clips. Now, just like any other tab with in Da Vinci,

we have this dropdown over here above our preview that allows us to choose what

timeline we want to be working on.

So if we want to quickly switch to a different timeline,

create an in and out selection of that timeline added to the render queue,

we can do that as well. So that is the general interface of the deliver tab,

and this is pretty much exactly how I use it almost every single time. Uh,

there are some times where I'll change things up a little bit.

I might be exporting in ProRes, I might have to restrict the file size, uh,

or I might have to export individual clips.

I'll be sharing my process of exporting individual clips in its own video.

But that's it for this lesson. I hope you guys enjoyed,

I hope you learned something new and I'll catch you in the next one.
