The method to export multiple audio tracks from DaVinci Resolve involves configuring your deliver settings to output separate audio stems or tracks. Here's a breakdown of how to achieve this:
Exporting Multiple Audio Tracks
DaVinci Resolve provides options for exporting audio in various formats, including separate audio tracks. This is particularly useful for delivering audio for post-production or archiving individual tracks.
-
Go to the Deliver Page: This is where you configure your export settings.
-
Choose your Export Settings: Select an appropriate preset or customize your settings.
- Options might include 'ProRes', 'DNxHD', or a custom setting with desired video and audio codecs.
-
Configure Audio Settings: This is the crucial step. Look for audio settings related to outputting multiple tracks. Specifically:
- "Render Audio Tracks": Ensure this option is enabled. The exact wording may vary depending on your DaVinci Resolve version.
- "Output Track" / "Tracks as Stems": This option lets you specify how the individual audio tracks are exported. Select the option to output each track as a separate file, commonly referred to as stems.
-
File Naming:
-
Clip Name: Choose if you want to use the clip name.
-
Auto Rename Each Duplicate: Select to Auto rename to avoid overwriting.
-
-
Folder Selection: Choose your output folder.
-
Add to Render Queue: Add the project to the render queue.
-
Start Render: Initiate the render process. DaVinci Resolve will then export each audio track as a separate file (e.g., WAV or other selected format).
Example Scenario:
Imagine you have a project with dialogue on track 1, music on track 2, and sound effects on track 3. By configuring the render settings as described above, DaVinci Resolve will create three separate audio files: Dialogue.wav, Music.wav, and SFX.wav.
