Export multiple clips individually in DaVinci Resolve 17

[@bsrbellestudiorecords]

I've spent 2 hours looking at unhelpful videos on how to do this. I was ready to give up till I found this. Beyond thankful. Have the absolute best day, you are a hero.

[@District7DrewGeraci]

Love that and glad you were able to find what you needed :) Have an awesome day and thanks for watching!

[@aarongrooves]

OMG I've looked past that "individual clips" option a million times, because I've never needed it until now. I feel disappointed with myself 😂. Thank you so much for this clear and concise tutorial!!

[@District7DrewGeraci]

Awesome! Glad you got some use out of it - thanks so much for watching! :)

[@ValentinePlay]

Quick note: If you have multiple track layers to your video, such as titles, some video overlays, pictures, etc. Davinci will render all of the video track parts separately. (Example: You have a video on track 1 and you cropped some video overlay and put it on track 2 on top of the video track 1, davinci will separately render the video on track 1 and overlay on track 2 as two separate videos). You need to select all the track parts which you want to be included in that clip, right click and then press "New Compound Clip" at the top. It will merge the clip parts together. You can bind it to any button for ease of the process, because you will have to repeat it for each separate clip (which has extra track parts to it, but you don't want it to render separately).

[@Ksell_h]

Took me so much time to find this exact information, thank you so much

[@smileeface]

thanks SO much

[@bobrze]

useful info thank you, it doesnt matter for audio tho if anyones wondering, that will automatically be added to the clip.

[@Thehouseoftatum]

So wait I made the clips I wanted to keep together as a compound clip then went to deliver and clicked individual clips but I only get one of the 4 clips what am I doing wrong?

[@shelliwitt1325]

[@panellmann1461]

This is great, I am an urban explorer and some years ago (when I was 15) I randomly saw your Asylum timelapse on Vimeo and it was probably one of the main pieces of media that inspired me to become a filmmaker, with hopes that I could maybe one day make videos as cool as that. 6 years have passed and I stumble upon you again while researching this specific export setting I need for a project. So thank you for helping me find a passion for visual media and keep making amazing videos :)

[@District7DrewGeraci]

Thanks for sharing mate!! That's such a cool story/journey to hear about! How goes your urban exploration project? Anyway, I hope you continue to kick ass and take names! Thanks again for watching!

I really needed this. I'm an independent animator just animating about, and I needed to export the storyboarded scenes separately, and I had no idea how. But with this tutorial, I am so glad I now know how to export independent clips. Thank you so much

[@sekritskworl-sekrit_studios]

I'm Number 100 here, and you are SAVING THE DAY!!! I tried rendering multiples and NOW I have an explanation as to why they are all copies of the same! Thank you. I really do wish that we could label each marker completely diffferently, but since we can't I'll live with that. Thank you.

So Your are the 5th video that I have tried to get the "multiple exports" method in DaVinci Resolve, to work. Everything from running scripts in LUA to creating markers on the timeline. Yours is the only one that states to go into the "folders" and to create prefix/suffix with unique identifiers. Yours is the only method that has worked ! Thank you!!! Liked and Subscribed!

Great tutorial Drew! I went ahead a got my dream pc built after watching your pc build videos, same cpu & same gpu (only got 1rtx 3090) & half your ram at 128gb & various ssd’s.

Oh man, super helpful. Now I have compassion for all those suffering beings still trapped within the Davinci code and rendering clips individually.

[@District7DrewGeraci]

Hahah yeah, the struggle is real! Thanks for watching and glad it helped!

[@Theaaronchris]

Exactly what i needed! i was trying to export 50 short clips from one take that was chopped up and this worked great! way easier and faster than selecting the time of each clip, giving it a name, and adding to que. I love resolve i just wish there were more assets like titles, lower 3rds, ect for it. i still find myself creating titles in FCPX or PP and exporting it 444 and using it in resolve.

Thanks for doing this. I want to export a multi-cam clip from Resolve 17 and include each camera angle so that I can get help from a collaborator in adjusting color in the separate camera angles. Do you if that is possible? If it is, have you done a video on how to do that?

Thanks for watching! Just change the codec to a lossless codec (like DNxHR or ProRes444).

[@aketo8082]

@@District7DrewGeraci Easier and faster way is via File -> Media Management. But works only perfect with subclips. But good to know some ways. Thank you. Also for your great videos, very helpful. 🙂 And subclips are easy to make via Edit page with in and out points, drag&drop to Media Pool, and then adding to timeline. I love DaVinci Resolve!

[@MurrayRoke]

Thanks for the tip, I found that the audio and video fade in/out I had set up (using the timeline handles) didn't render.

[@brycefunk]

You don't have to select "add source frame count to filename" in order for Davinci to render all the clips individually. Under "add a unique name as" you can set that as "suffix" instead of "prefix" and it will add a unique number count at the end of the file name.

[@squeaky_buddha]

[@leolaubier]

Thanks you just saved me hours of work!

[@District7DrewGeraci]

[@chuckcoxhead]

Unfortunately, DR renders out images separate from video clips What is really needed is the ability to render out composite clips with all elements as designed/ The only way that I can see to do that is with In/Out Markers, one at a time

[@4propfilms]

This is a great video explaining how to export individual clips. Thank you; it has helped me a lot. I just have a question about re-using the exported individual clips. If I want to re-use the exported clips in a new video project timeline, will the video quality be reduced by rendering those clips a second time in that new project?

[@District7DrewGeraci]

Thanks for watching! It all depends on what codec(s) you use to export. If you're exporting to a long-gop (h264/265) then you'll see a loss of quality, but if you do a lossy/lossless/uncompressed codec like DNxHR, ProRes, DPX, etc then you'll retain 99% of the quality of the video. Hope that helps!

[@4propfilms]

@@District7DrewGeraci Yes. That helps a lot, Drew. I will export the good bits of my footage as individual clips using the DNxHR codec (I am using windows) and then use those clips in my final video project. Thanks again.

[@irenemini]

Loved your video! Question: I have many clips in my timeline, but I only want to export ONE of the clips (just to see if the speed adjustment I added to the clip looks okay). Is there a way to do that, or do I have to export it all?

[@District7DrewGeraci]

Thanks for watching! If you just want to export 1 single clip you're best to use the standard render method but choose "in and out points" for the range of the clip (and just make sure your clip is between those in and out points). Super simple and I hope that helps!

[@ShutterlabCreative]

Is it possible to add handles to the footage automatically?

Thank you for this! However I'm having an issue with including audio. When I do single clips it merges the audiotracks as I want, however when selecting individual clips it retains the separate audiotracks.

Hey Drew! Awesome content man! Hey you're an expert at this stuff and nobody else seems to have a clue about this, but is there a way to make a video file that is compatible with vr headsets (now or future) that contains dual 4k 10 bit running at 120 fps? Assuming you could simultaneously record on two cameras spaced at some standard IPD. It seems too obvious to me that this is how we could watch KZbin and movies and virtually be there, in the studio with Linus (lol), and have true 3d movie experiences. You would of course be locked into the perspective of the camera, but I think that would be ok. Would you have any idea how to do that? Or if it's even possible?

[@District7DrewGeraci]

That's a great question! I'm not sure if Resolve is set up to do that, but we can find out! I'll ask some more knowledgeable folks and see what they say.

Yup, all you have to do (in the edit page) is select both the text clip, and the video clip below it, and choose "New Compound Clip" which will turn it into a new single clip and you're done :) Hope that's helpful!

[@SquareballoonCoUk]

Is there a way to define clips? I've split some of them as part of the edit to cut out parts of the script we didn't need. I tried joining those clips but it won't let me. Is there a way to define where each clip for export starts and finishes?

[@District7DrewGeraci]

Yes, you have to select the clips (from all layers) that you want in the same clip and create a compound clip. (Easist is to just select all, right click, and choose new compound clip).

[@District7DrewGeraci]

Thanks for watching! As for removing the V1 from the title, no, can't remove it completely from the title but you can click "Suffix" under "Add a unique name as" and it will put the V1 at the end of the filename, instead of the front. That's about the only thing you can do. If you do want to remove it completely though, just use Adobe Bridge to batch rename all of your clips and that will work too.

[@darkmatter412]
