Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve Advanced Panel - Manual (Page 376)

RENDER 376
Render Path Settings
The remaining items in this window relate to the Render Path settings. The ‘Source Directory Preserve
Level’ selection will retain the source file directory structure when rendering material. It will automatically
create sub directories to match the source files. This is followed by an indication of the storage use
showing the amount of space available within the target storage area and the new usage based on the
selected timeline or clip for rendering.
Should you use Batch Rendering, there is a progress bar and status display showing the Batch Render
progress, covered later in this chapter. Use the Browse button to select the location, or type it in directly.
If you like, also define a ‘Destination Suffix’ that will be applied to the rendered file.
The ‘Render’ button initiates the render process based on all the settings in the Render Properties
display. This will bring up a prompt, in place of the Render window, that shows you the progress of the
render. You can watch the Viewer as DaVinci Resolve is rendering and note the render speed on the
top left of the Viewer. A Render Progress window will also be displayed on the Color screen during the
render. Should you wish to interrupt or cancel the rendering process and close the Record Properties
window, select the ’Cancel’ button.
