Render Each Clip to a Separate Directory:
Remembering these are source clips with their timecode. This is
commonly used when rendering VFX shots for further post work
to allow the VFX department to identify clips quickly and distribute
the work.
Render Clip with Unique Filename:
When enabled, every rendered clip is given a completely independent
name in order to prevent multiple rendered clips from the same
source media file from overwriting one another when saved to the
same directory. “Uniquely” named clips incorporate the track and
clip number of a clip’s position within a session into the name. When
the “Use Prefix, Suffix, No. of Digits from Source” checkbox is also
turned on, the original name of the source media can be combined
with this session information. For example, a clip that’s linked to a
media file named “FeistyCU.mov,” and edited as the twenty-fifth clip
on track V2, will be named “FeistyCU_V2-0025.mov” when rendered
to preserve its independence.
Use Commercial Workflow:
Enables additional settings for defining the timecode, organization,
and naming of each rendered media file or image sequence.
Use Commercial Workflow
DaVinci Resolve’s ‘Use Commercial Workflow’ setting dramatically simplifies working with versions of
grades and provide graded versions in a format that is easy for the other departments in a post house
to use.
With ‘Use Commercial Workflow’ checked, DaVinci Resolve will automatically render alternate passes
pertaining to different versions of grades. This is typical of commercial broadcast workflows where you
have two or more versions of a grade for each scene. Because the source clip has one logical timecode,
regardless of how many graded versions are made, you can’t simply render this clip five times and put
it in the same folder. All of the timecodes and file names would be the same, so you would end up with
one version - the last you rendered.
