However, you can also customize each setting, so let’s look at our options. Resolve has changed the render settings to conform to YouTube’s suggested upload format, so essentially, all we need to do is specify the location, and we’re good to upload.

Since 4K is slowly becoming the norm, that option is available on the drop-down menu on the YouTube tab. In this example, my video is going straight to YouTube and nowhere else. You can choose from YouTube upload or audio only, and most upload presets will only need you to click “start to render.” Resolve helps streamline that process with a set of one-click presets. One video is telling you to render at this setting, another article is telling you make sure you export in this format - it can quickly get confusing. I remember when I first started making films, render settings were always a bit of a mystery to me. From filename and location to codec and bitrate, it’s all confirmed in this panel. This will be your first port of call when opening the delivery page. Let’s have a look at the render settings panel first. Top right: render queue - where edits wait to begin render.

Center: viewer - to watch the completed edit.Top left: render settings panel - for selecting the settings.This page, like every other page, has its own layout, but it’s familiar enough that after working through the first five pages, you should be able to find your way around without getting lost. To render your edit, first you have to go to the delivery page. That means we’ll just be covering the essentials you need to get your content ready for delivery. As a basics crash course, we’re only going to focus on the fundamentals of the delivery page. Given the overall simplicity of the delivery page, this should be our quickest episode yet.

If you’ve been following along, by now you should know setup (links to the other episodes are the bottom of this page). In this episode, we’re going to look at how to render your content on the delivery page.

Welcome to episode 5, the penultimate episode of our crash course. In part 5 of our six-part video series The DaVinci Resolve 15 Crash Course, we take a look at everything you need to know about the delivery page.
