How do I export a video from DaVinci Resolve with transparency?

Published in DaVinci Resolve Export 1 min read

To export a video with a transparent background from DaVinci Resolve, you need to use a codec that supports an alpha channel and enable the export alpha channel option. Here's how:

  1. Go to the Deliver Page: Navigate to the "Deliver" page in DaVinci Resolve.

  2. Choose DNxHR or ProRes Codec: Select either DNxHR or ProRes as your codec because these codecs support alpha channels.

  3. Enable Export Alpha Channel: In the video settings, find and enable the "Export Alpha Channel" option. This tells DaVinci Resolve to include the transparency information in the exported file.

  4. Render the Video: Add your file to the render queue and begin rendering. The resulting video file will now have a transparent background where applicable.

In Summary: Use the DNxHR or ProRes codec and enable "Export Alpha Channel" in the Deliver page settings.
