How to Export DaVinci Resolve Video?

Published in Video Editing 2 mins read

To quickly export a video from DaVinci Resolve, use the Quick Export feature; for more control, use the Deliver page. Here's a breakdown of both methods:

1. Quick Export:

This is the fastest way to export your video.

  • Step 1: Navigate to the "File" menu in the top left corner of the DaVinci Resolve window.
  • Step 2: Open the "File" dropdown menu.
  • Step 3: Select "Quick Export."
  • Step 4: Choose your desired export preset (e.g., YouTube, Vimeo, H.264 Master). DaVinci Resolve will then export your video with the settings associated with that preset.

2. Deliver Page (Custom Export Settings):

The Deliver page allows for a much more customized export.

  • Step 1: Click on the "Deliver" tab at the bottom of the DaVinci Resolve interface. This is usually the right-most tab.
  • Step 2: Configure your export settings in the Render Settings panel on the left side of the screen.
    • Render Settings:
      • Filename: Enter a name for your exported video file.
      • Location: Choose the folder where you want to save the exported video.
      • Format: Select the video format (e.g., MP4, MOV).
      • Codec: Choose the video codec (e.g., H.264, ProRes). H.264 is generally good for online use, while ProRes is a high-quality codec suitable for further editing.
      • Resolution: Set the video resolution (e.g., 1920x1080 for HD).
      • Frame Rate: Choose the frame rate (e.g., 24fps, 30fps, 60fps).
      • Quality: Adjust the video quality settings. You can often choose between "Automatic," "Best," or set a specific bitrate. Higher bitrates result in better quality but larger file sizes.
    • Audio Settings: Configure audio export settings such as codec and bitrate.
  • Step 3: Add the job to the render queue. Click the "Add to Render Queue" button.
  • Step 4: Start the render. Click the "Start Render" button to begin exporting your video.

By using the Deliver page, you have fine-grained control over all aspects of the export process, ensuring your video is exported with the specific settings you require for your intended use. This includes codec selection, resolution, frame rate, and quality settings.
