Davinci Resolve now allows for third party render

    • Official Post

    this is not my picture but it made by a top-professional colorist. This is a result of ProRes rendering of solid color. Also, he reported some problem with levels (sorry, he did not provide details).

    Has that 444 16 bit mode being used for this export session?

    I'm not able to render anything with the latest beta 0.4.1. I get the message: "Render Job X failed as the current clip could not be processed. Cannot add audio clip."

    Can you attach the voukoder logfile? Where do I find the log file?

  • Has that 444 16 bit mode is used for this export session?

    I believe it is correct.

    But I tried to recreate this issue without success. My renders come out clean in any mode (444 16bit in DaVinci; ProRes 422HQ, 444, 444HQ in voukoder).

    UPDATE: I processed the same tests as Anton, the author of the original screenshot, but I still can't reproduce his result. But he used DaVinci 17.0, and I use v. 17.1 - so it may be DaVinci's bug.

  • one annoying problem.

    Voukoder is ignoring low space ;)


    Yesterday I occasionally set a long batch (individual clips rendering) to a full disk.


    With regular render, DaVinci would stop render with an appropriate error message.


    But with Voukoder, it took full time for render (about an hour and a half for one batch and two hours for another) and finished without error messages, created 5 properly rendered clips (till disk space was exhausted) and 35 empty, 36K-size-each clips for all others ;)

  • Awesome to see this happening. It's the first thing I'll try once I get my Davinci Resolve Studio dongle on Tuesday :D

  • Привет. спасибо за работу! У меня есть несколько вопросов.

    1. Why are these choices of bitness left in the Davichi interface, if all the same, if necessary, the codec does the bitness reduction itself?

    I left it at the default of 8 bits and got streaks of artifacts on the gradients. Why don't you always send the maximum color depth to the codec?

    2. кодек имеет возможность установить контейнер - avi, mkv или mov, но нет возможности изменить выбор по умолчанию. Например, я всегда кодирую mov. Хотелось бы, чтобы мне не приходилось каждый раз устанавливать это значение.

    Можете ли вы заставить кодек запомнить мой выбор?

    Еще раз спасибо за отличную работу.

    1. Basically export speed is the reason. If you export a yuv420 (8 bit) it is significantly faster to use the 8 bit output mode in resolve. Otherwise each frames data has to be converted from yuv444 16 bit down to 8 bit first, and then sent to the encoder. If resolve delivers 8 bit already we can just pass it through to the encoder.


    2. It is a bit tricky because it just shows the available containers that support the current selected audio and video container. But I'll see what I can do.

    Yes, you can.
    Set everything as you wish, both in DaVinci and Voukoder, then save a delivery preset in DaVinci :)
