@@draganbaralic Hey Dragan! Thanks for watching and commenting! What picture to what wall do you mean? :D If you mean that you track a wall and add a picture to that, you can definitely do that in the free version of resolve! :)

@@draganbaralic Hey dragan! Shoot me an E-Mail over at contact.sfriedrich@gmail.com Attach the files to the email and we'll see how we can solve the problem! :)
A quick note here. In fact, the maximum bitrate TH-cam can actually render is 68 Mbps, or 68,000 kilobytes. Anything higher than that could make it better or worse. But, in my opinion, it makes it cleaner.
Thanks for the info! That was a "mistery" for me, cause I realized the higher it was set (up to a certain point) the better it could get. However, I made some trials with 200k Kb/s, 500k Kb, sec, max. Kb/s (it is around 2M), but over 100k Kb/s there was no any sensible difference in quality.
THANK YOU for also explaining how to export 1080P footage. I swear, the majority of video results that show up when I search anything "1080p Davinci Resolve", are only about 4K! Some of us are required to shoot and export 1080p footage for work! 4K is not always the only thing we need, so thank you for including both in this video!
First of all, THANKS MAN 🙏🏻. This was so helpful. Secondly - THAT INTO 🤯 annnnddddd I personally think your audio rocked 🤟 (I really hope YOU dd too, and you are feeling better about it). Lastly, I completely second Meditating-Daily's comment...your videos are getting better and better. C'MON TH-cam...GET THIS GUY OUT THERE FOR MORE PEOPLE TO DIGEST HIS KNOWLEDGE 🙏🏻. Sending an abundance of love and light to you and yours man 👊 and thank you for this again.
Gary you're awesome man! Thank you so much for this! You liked the intro? I'm putting in a lot more work on creating these videos, so glad you liked it! 🙌🏼😁 I think that's a big step forward in growing this channel 😁 and yes, I am way more satisfied with the audio now, but I also 'sound treated' my work space for the first time (just layed out a bunch of pillows and blankets from the bed) - and I think that also made a big difference as long as it works, I'm fine with that 😂 Thank you so much again for all this support, that's crazy! My Girlfriend and I were thinking about buying one of your books, but we decided to ask you first, if we could buy it directly from you, so you'll get the most out of that purchase and she also asked if you would be signing this? That would be so crazy man! Anyways, thank you for being part of this community! 🙌🏼😊
If your machine is not the fastest and you still want to create 4K footage you can have your work timeline as 1080 and then change it to 4K just before rendering. Also, sometimes you need to play around with Data levels when the colors are not coming out as you want them to.
I’d set the timeline resolution to whatever matches your main video clips!:) in that case, 23.97, however, that shouldn’t make that much of a difference whether you take 24 or 23.97 in this example
I totally forgot to answer your question! Yes, typically when you want to export a higher frame rate project (maybe a gaming montage at 60fps) you would raise that number. Because bitrate is just "data over time" and if the bitrate is higher, that just means each frame has a little higher kb at its disposal, which ultimately leads to a "cleaner" image! Hope this brought some clarity! :)
Thank you man! I am slowly making progress in creating higher quality content 😁 think that'll help to grow this channel even more to reach more people out there! Appreciate you watching! :)
@@SebastianFriedrichVisuals anytime buddy. Yup your channel is growing alot faster than mine is and I am happy to be part of this. I learned alot from you. Thank you man
Haha, glad to hear that and even more glad that this video as helpful to you! Of course, more subscribers would always be cool, but considering the fact that I started this channel on March 6th 2021, I am more than happy to already sit at 2100 subscribers in 10 months 😁 thank you for taking the time to watch and comment, greatly appreciated man!! :) have a blessed 2022! :)
Hey! I wouldn’t recommend that. I would rather go with the delivery page, set everything up and then save it as a preset so you don’t have to change anything on the next exports and it basically is as fast as a quick export!:)
Hi! I have almost 2hr wedding project, and I don’t need to upload it on TH-cam, what would be the best render quality you would suggest? Is it still this one? Also, my second question is, what if I already start editing my videos, can I still change my settings before rendering it? And you mean that project setting and render/export setting should be the same, right?
Hey Jessica! Thanks for the question, but it’s not that simple to answer. If you aren’t concerned about file size, I would go with the bitrate mentioned in this video, if you are however, then try to lower the bitrate by 10k-20k, depending on your resolution, accordingly. To answer your second question: Yes you can, but not the timeline framerate. This one is locked. If you want to change the framerate for a current project, right click in the media pool, create a new timeline and there you want to set The framerate that you want. Then go back to your original timeline, highlight all the clips, copy them and paste them in the new timeline. To answer the third question: partly. You can have different project and render settings, but lets say your timeline is in 1080, if you export at 4K, you are upscaling your footage which could result in less quality. Also you want to leave your timeline framerate as is. Lets say you edit in a 24fps timeline, you also want to export 24fps. If you change this in the Export settings, you might run into a choppy video!:) I hope this answer has brought some light to your questions!:)
@@SebastianFriedrichVisuals also, all my videos are saved in the external hard drive not in the computer. If i removed my hard drive and plug it again, will it affect my videos
Hi nice video i have a question i have a bmpcc 4k with sirui 35mm anamorphic lens i shoot in 4k Dci 4096x2160 with the dezquees mode on in my camera. Do i just change the 3840x 2160 to 4096x2160 or depending on the aspec ratio like if i wanna do 4096x1716
If you’re recording in 1080 I wouldn’t upscale to 4K - but otherwise it’s fine. You could also go with 80K I think, should be fine and you have smaller file sizes!:)
@@SebastianFriedrichVisuals It's a trick to make your youtube videos with better quality. Just edit at 1080p then export 4k, normally you don't get any advantages nor disadvantages BUT youtube unlocks VP9 for you(which only for channels with so many subs) and your videos will be so much better than uploading 1080p. And thank you, i'll try 80k bitrate then :)
How do i get to the timeline as cant see what you clicked to get in the settings i have action cam which is filming full 4k but i can only export HD in quick export so be great to export 4k
I mean, you create a new project and then select the edit page on the bottom, then you are on the timeline. Then it is clearly shown to select the steering wheel in the bottom right corner to open up the settings tab, change the settings accordingly as shown in this video. After all of that being done, go to the render page (bottom of the screen, last icon on the right, the rocket) and change the settings accordingly
Hey Stefano! Haven't noticed major differences to be honest, so I'd say that's up to you whatever you prefer! Do a test and export the same clip twice with both settings and see whatever you like more! :)
Hey man! Glad you liked it! :) For the quality, I suggest to never use the default one. For a 1080p video I would go with 40k to 50k and for 4k I suggest to use 80k to 100k!:) Hope this helps you! :)
@@SebastianFriedrichVisuals Certainly does. Sorry for another question, for a long time I used auto in the quality settings, I did a test and limited it to 100000. The file that was limited was smaller than the one I did in Auto, I thought because it was a bigger file that it might be better quality using auto. Is that the case or not? Cheers mate :)
@@northeastdroneproductions Hey man! This depends on the bitrate of your clip, but overall resolve has a very little default bitrate, that's why I never used it before. You might even go higher than 100k. You could try 120k - 140k and see if the quality is better this way! :)
@@SebastianFriedrichVisuals I don't know if this is the right approach but what I typically do after my video is shot is look at the video file info using VLC or Quicktime (Video Inspector) and check the bitrate of the video. If I see it's 120Mbps bitrate for the clip(s), then I convert that number to Kbps, which is 120,000. I don't ever do 1080p at one rate and 4K at another. I just look at the bitrate data of the clip itself and make note of that. Then during my export, I convert it to Kbps, as I just explained. Again, I have no idea if this is a good approach but the quality seems to be much better for me when I do this. Thank you for your video, it was indeed helpful :)
Hello. Thanks for the lesson. Can you tell me - is it possible in Davinci, when scaling the timeline, to drag video pieces along it? I switch from the premiere to Davinci and could not understand what this function is called (if it is connected separately) - For some reason, when I change the timeline scale, the video pieces fly to the beginning of the composition and dragging is possible only if you do not scale the timeline at all.
thanks a lot Sebastian, very good video as always. May I give you one little suggestion, pls don't zoom in too much i find it very very hard to follow your zoom and i do not know where to zoom so i need to watch again and again how you did it. Just small suggestion.
Hey Benuth! Yes, you are absolutely right, especially if you are new to the program, its kinda hard to follow along with the screen being that far zoomed in! Thanks for the feedback, highly appreciated! :)
hi, i followed many others and your steps, but i never get high-quality video, whatever I try. Nor the x264/h.264/265/bitrate changing, nothing helps, my videos come out poor, banding, a bit pixelated. Can it be caused by computer itself, color space?
@@pedroalmadovar8844 the banding effect if you mean that waves of lines or bars moving is caused because your light blinks(like on and off) and every light does that, but not visible to human eye, but is captured by your cam, because of the different framerate of your cam. Try different framerates while recording. Sorry for my crappy English, hope this helps.
I have my footage recorded in 1080p 60 fps. All my timeline and clip settings are the same at 60fps but when rendered it isnt as smooth as it should br and it seems i lose frames and have less than 60fps. How do i fix this??
Thank you so much for this great video! One thing I wasnt sure so, what does "decode quality setting" really mean and when is it utilized? (perhaps during rendering or perhaps already during the editing?). If the latter, is it comparable with the timeline proxy mode (like half or quarter resolution)? Your help would be very much appreciated.
The decode quality is for editing only! However, it is NOT needed when you are working with regular, non-raw file formats! If you are working with raw formats and you change this, it's like timeline proxy mode, just as you said, only for the raw material. If you change this during editing, make sure to change it back before exporting OR make sure to select "force sizing to highest quality" AND "force debayer to highest quality" - if you check those, the decode format will automatically be set to "full res" on exporting! :)
@@SebastianFriedrichVisuals Wow, I didnt know this. Since I work mainly with raw footage it will hopefully help my workstation to edit 4k footage even smoother. Thank you so much.
Yeah, that was a little unclear! Leave your timeline framerate the framerate your source material is and Match that with the export framerate! In your case 60 is correct, but you’re also limiting yourself when it comes to slow motion, because you would need a gaming to be recorded in a higher framerate than 60(I.e. 120fps) if you want to slow down the clips on the same 60fps timeline
I'm new to DaVinci, I've looked up a lot of render settings and to my knowledge used the settings for the highest-quality output. However, my render takes less than a minute, and comes out looking like palydough? do you have any idea?
Great video! Saved it as a preset for exporting :) but I was wondering. If I edit 4k on a 1080 timeline. The export page says you can change the final resolution, do I have to also change both the timeline AND the export page to 4k or can I leave the timeline at 1080 and export in 4k (read your response to someone else below here, but I saw in Davinci that you can change the export so idk if that means I also have to change the timeline as well)
Hey EJ, thank you so much for the comment! You're partly right. Let me clarify this in an easy, understandable way. You can edit 4K clips in a 1080 timeline but those clips will be 'converted' to 1080, which means they lose a little bit of quality. If you go to the render page with the timeline set to 1080, you can still export 4K, BUT, as I said, your original 4K file is compressed to a lower 1080 version and if you select 4K rendering on a 1080 timeline resolve will take that 'lower, compressed' version and upscale it to 4k, which means youre final export will be an even lower quality 4k. Think of it like that: you take an OG 1080 clip and export it to 4k - quality loss. To prevent this, you can edit your whole project in 1080 (it's just faster) and right before you go to the render page, open the project settings and change it to 4K, then go to the render page and export it in real 4K!:) Just a little side note to the last step: if you plan on doing fusion animations like title effects with masks, do those after you set your timeline resolution back to 4k, because if you do this before, it could mess up some of the animations and scales of your fusion comps! Okay, very long answer but I genuinely hope this gives you all the informations that you need! :)
friend I have a problem with davinci to solve, will you be able to help me? =) I'm using animated text templates (lower thirds) but none executes, I think it might be some configuration, I've already researched that only and found nothing. I installed them all in the correct folder but none run, and I've used them before in other versions of davinci, I currently use 18.1.4 studio, rtx 2070 video card, amd rizen 7 processors.
Never mind. You need the 17.4 version. It was added. And you dont have to uninstall...just download and install it...it will update the program and you wont lose your database. Back it up just in case though.
Hey Anthony! I‘d say this totally depends which quality HD you captured. There are bad quality hd‘s that don’t look that great, so I‘d say just try both versions and watch them side by side and see if you can notice a difference- for better or for worse!:)

Is the OBS good program for screen recording and if it is can my laptop run it good i have the Hp Pavilion 15 (Intel core i5) if it is plz make a video with the best settings i really need it thank you.
Hey Nick - I know that OBS runs very well on most systems! Since I am not streaming related, shoot me an E-Mail over at: contact.sfriedrich@gmail.com And I will help you set everything up properly man! :)
This basically determines the file size of your final video - the larger, the more quality. By reading the DaVinci Resolve manual, I can guarantee that restricting your quality to 50-100k will get you better results than leaving it at Auto because Resolve has a set restriction at auto build in, that sits (don’t quote me in that - I believe it sits at around 10-20K) That should answer your questions and concerns
I have my DR settings just about identical to yours, the preferences and the project settings and the render settings but I'm on a Mac. No matter how I change my settings the screen view within DR will always look much more saturated and higher contrast than my rendered video which I view in Quicktime and also on TH-cam after uploading. Any ideas come to mind? BTW something I learned today. I've been rendering as MP4 till today. I took your recommendation and used MOV instead. The file rendered about three times faster! A nice surprise.
Hey Scott! First of all, thanks for the nice comment! There's an easy solution for your problem. Just open up DR, then go all the way up in the top left corner to 'DaVinci Resolve' and then select 'Preferences'. Now a window opens up and I am not quite sure on what menu it is but there's a checkbox somewhere saying 'use Mac display colors', make sure that this one is checked, this should solve the problem! :)
@@SebastianFriedrichVisuals yes. There is another setting that was recommended. In project settings color management I needed to set timeline color space to REC 709A. Those two changes seem to have corrected the render issues. But I have to reset my color retouching now to match it! At least I know for the future what the issue was. Thanks for you help!
Hi, In the "Camera Raw" setting, reducing the decode quality to Half, Quarter etc. Is this the same as reducing the quality in the "Playback" menu "Timeline proxy resolution"?
Hi! Yes, you are right, but, 2 things (important!!!): 1. this only affects raw files 2. you have to manually set it back to full if you've changed this OR you have to check force debater to highest quality AND force sizing to highest quality! Otherwise you're doomed because unlike timeline proxy mode, it doesn't automatically set back to highest quality so keep that in mind! Hope this helps you! :)
Hey Adam! I suggest to use a bitrate no larger than 7500 kbits, 1080x1920, rec.709 & sRGB, mp4 & h.264 - these should give proper results. You can also change the gamma to gamma2.4 if you don’t like sRGB!:)
Thanks for the video! That's helpful, I usually leave the quality at auto.. My question is, is it fine to render 4K with just CPU? I mean, with the current market price for GPU it's really hard to find an affordable GPU So when I'm rendering it always makes the CPU to work 100% which make me quite worried. CPU is Ryzen 5 3600 btw.
Hey Scelusia! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment! I am glad you like it! :) Of course, it is totally fine to use just the CPU to render. The current prices for a GPU is bonkers, wouldn't recommend to buy a GPU right now - in my windows PC however I got a GeForce 1060 6gb which is absolutely fine and relatively cheap - or, what I would also recommend, if you're in the market for an 'editing' PC - I got myself a Mac mini M1 with 16gb ram, you get one on Apple refurbished for around 600-700$ and that thing is incredible - cheaper, than just a GPU and it shreds my 1060 6gb - render times on the Mac compared to the Windows: Mac is 3 times faster! But back to your question - if you have the time to render using only your CPU, that is totally fine! If you need your PC for more stuff, start the rendering when you go to bed and let it render over night, so by the morning it is finished and you can still use your pc! :)
@@SebastianFriedrichVisuals Indeed, I don't know how long the price will continue like this, I even thought of getting those T400/T600 GPU for editing. Maybe I'll just wait a little more... I see, then it's fine then, I just kinda worried that it might shorten the CPU lifetime or something when it does 100% work everytime it render 4K vids. Thank you for the kind reply!
Yes, if you are on a tighter budget I would definitely recommend to wait until the prices drop, then you'll get more for less money! Don't worry, your CPU probably isn't going to "wear out" or anything like that! You are more than welcome! :)
Do you edit on a Mac and if so, have you activated Show Mac display color under preferences? That’s mostly the reason the colors shift - and they don’t actually shift, they were just wrongly displayed within resolve itself!:)
What about larger files? I have a project of 35 minutes but when rendered it comes around 14 GB which is way to much for me to send to my clients. What's the solution for this? Do you have any suggestions. Much appreciated.
Well, larger projects require more space. You could lower the Bitrate by 20k and see how the results are going to be. I mean, most of my YT vids are 10 GB. Quality needs space, you could, however, if you want to offer a really great service, buy a couple 32 GB usb sticks with your logo on and upload the files to that - then I'm sending the final product on that nice USB stick in a nice little box over to my clients. It's the little things that make clients even more happy lol. I'm sorry. Try to lower the Bitrate as I said, or, if your doing an IG video you probably don't need 4k,lower the res to 1350x1080 or 1920x1080. That's what I would try
Hey! Good question. If you want to export 60fps, you should set your timeline framerate to 60fps as well in the project settings (before you start editing a new project)! :) hope this was helpful to you! :)
Hey! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! So, you had a 40000 bit file in 2k imported into resolve and on the render settings you choose 500000 kb/s, am I getting this right?
Man, I watched tons of tutorial videos and this was the simplest yet the best! Kudos to you One quick question, what was the downside if I keep exporting into 60fps? All of my videos are in 60fps
Hey man, thank you so much!!! :) I'm happy to hear that! To answer your question - sometimes there is no 'downside' in exporting and editing in 60fps. That's totally up to you and the type of videos you produce. For example, if you're filming with a regular camera, you typically want to go 24fps to have the most natural amount of motion blur. If you are filming in 24 fps and edit in a 60fps timeline, resolve basically has to reproduce the 'missing' frames which could end up in a stuttery video. However, on the other side, if you do for example gaming related stuff, you want 60 FPS, because that's the typical framerate for games, which will give you less motion blur, what's better for gaming related content! :) Hope this'll answer your question, if you feel like there's anything missing or 'unclear', just let me know! :) Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment - highly appreciated! :)
@@SebastianFriedrichVisuals was about to ask the same question, as I record, and edit gameplay. Wanted to make sure selecting the 60fps wasn't incorrect.
Hey man! That's my bad, I totally missed the point about "screen recordings" / "gaming videos" in this video! So sorry about that! There's nothing wrong with exporting in 60fps because most softwares that you use to capture your screen with record in 30 / 60fps and you play your games at 60 / 144 / etc hz. Just make sure you set your timeline resolution to 60fps when you start your project and you want to render in 60fps. If you forget to set your timeline to 60fps and export in 60fps you will have a stuttery video! :) Otherwise, things are just fine with 60fps as well! :)
One thing I don't understand is why would you leave your frame rate at 24 if you're working on a project that is 30fps or 60fps? I've always set this to match whatever my project is.
@@SebastianFriedrichVisuals Hey man, why would you set your timeline to 24 when your source is 60/120fps? What are the benefits? Cause DaVinci always asks if I want to match the timeline fps with the source fps and without knowing the consequences, I just let it do that to be safe.
@@billythecat hey Billy! Well, the only reason is that if I have my timeline set to 24 and my source clip is 60 or 120fps, I have the ability to slow down the clip to slow motion. If you set your timeline to 120fps and your source clips is 120fps too and you want to slow that down, things start to look choppy!:)
Hi, Since this video is also about the render-page I want to ask you as a pro something that resolved around my mind for a long time. I really hope you as a pro have a good solution.. Lets say I have a finished rendered video of 30min length. (this took a couple of hours to render because I used raw-footage). And then I figure out that within the last 60 sec there is a big mistake I need to correct. Do you have me a good solution for this? I only know of two ways (either way is not really desirable I find). 1. I correct the bad clip and render it all over again; 2. I use the rendered video-clip as a basis and cut off the last 60 sec and add the corrected part of the raw-clip. In this way I have a slight quality loss in the first video-clip (the one that was already rendered). But either way Davinci will render the whole thing. Is there not a way where Davinci will render only the last 60sec oder somehow add the two clips just together? :-)
Well, if you just want to render the last 60 seconds, you can go to the last 60 seconds, hit ‚i‘ on your keyboard (to create an in-point; then go to the end, hit ,o‘ to create an out point and then just render the in and out range, so you only have the last 60 seconds!:)
I need one whole 30 min video-clip. What is the purpose of just rendering the 60s clip? I could do that but how do I add it to the other 29min clip without having Davinci render all 30min all over again?
@@valis1680 oh, guess I misunderstood your comment, in the last part you asked about just rendering the last 60 seconds. Mh. Do you have the studio version of resolve? Then I suggest to activate the Nvidia encoder and access gpu rendering, easily tripples the render time. Otherwise I would just render it out over night where you don’t need your pc…
If i have my timeline resolution high, will it make editing slower. And if i filmed in 4k but don’t have it set on high and keep it on 1080p will it still export in 4k?
Hey Wesley - if you set your timeline resolution high (4k) it'll slow editing down, especially with fusion work or a heavy color grade. If you have filmed in 4k, then just leave the timeline in 1080 and edit in 1080. And right before you are about to export, go to your project settings and set the timeline resolution to 4k, so you can render it in 4K. :)
@@wes.dunlop You're more than weelcome! I mostly edit in 1080p but before exporting, I set my timeline back to 4K, just dont forget this step otherwise it get's frustrating! :D
@@SebastianFriedrichVisuals In the delivery tab, most youtube tutorials just skip right over it. It would be nice to understand the basics and best practices. Now that you mention it, it would be good to have that for Fairlight too :)
@@DirtZen i am not really an audio expert so I didn’t want to talk about something that I haven’t fully understood either, so I basically never touch the audio tab in the delivery page and leave it as is - however, when it comes to sound design, I know a few things here and there and funny enough, tomorrow I‘ll drop a video (editing breakdown) where I also go in depth on Sound Design, if you are interested in that!🙌🏽
My work is mostly architectural. Vertical lines in the buildings render out with pretty bad jitters as the drone filmed horizontally. I'm rendering at high settings but the jitters are very obvious. They are not there in my original 30 fps footage. Much of the footage I had to speed ramp up or just increase the speed of the entire clip. Any way to smooth out horizontal panning jitters?
Well, I assume you are talking about the "moirè" effect, that happens really often on drone shots when filming buildings. Getting rid of that in post is very tough and I have found a slight workaround that works for me: First of all, go to the color page , add a slight bit of noise reduction (If you have the studio version), then add a slight bit of blur (really only a little bit) and then on another new node add a little bit of sharpness back in! This solved the issue for me, a bit at least! :)
@@SilentAttackTV You're welcome! I might have missed pointing that out that the export frame rate has to be the same you edited in! :) Glad you solved the problem, though! :)
What is 'reed'? For 6k - if you want to export 6k,set your timeline res to 6k and set the render res to 6k as well. For the Bitrate set that to 150000, ca. If you want to export a 6k file in 4k,follow the steps in the video and you're good!

THANK YOU. Still struggling with file sizes with Davinci, but so far so good.
Would love to see a video on file size management.
A quick note here. In fact, the maximum bitrate TH-cam can actually render is 68 Mbps, or 68,000 kilobytes. Anything higher than that could make it better or worse. But, in my opinion, it makes it cleaner.
Hey! Oh thanks for pointing out the max bitrate of TH-cam, didn't know that! :)
I always set my bitrate for TH-cam for a 4K video between 100-120K! :)
Thanks for the info! That was a "mistery" for me, cause I realized the higher it was set (up to a certain point) the better it could get. However, I made some trials with 200k Kb/s, 500k Kb, sec, max. Kb/s (it is around 2M), but over 100k Kb/s there was no any sensible difference in quality.
Dude your videos getting better and better!!! Thank you for this!

THANK YOU for also explaining how to export 1080P footage. I swear, the majority of video results that show up when I search anything "1080p Davinci Resolve", are only about 4K! Some of us are required to shoot and export 1080p footage for work! 4K is not always the only thing we need, so thank you for including both in this video!
Thanks Sebastian👍, I learn someting new every time😀

great video, very practical, thank you 👍
Hey Sean! Thank you so much, really appreciate you taking the time to leave that comment! Super happy it was helpful to you!! 🙌🏽
If your machine is not the fastest and you still want to create 4K footage you can have your work timeline as 1080 and then change it to 4K just before rendering.
Also, sometimes you need to play around with Data levels when the colors are not coming out as you want them to.
Absolutely! This video is kinda out-dated that's why I already made a new one! :)
Thanks for this one man, good job!

If I record gopro at 24 fps. But my main camera at 23.97 what setting do I have for my time line? Great video tha k you.
I’d set the timeline resolution to whatever matches your main video clips!:) in that case, 23.97, however, that shouldn’t make that much of a difference whether you take 24 or 23.97 in this example
As in should I set time line to 24? Or 23. 97?

Hey Conrad! Thank you very much man, glad you liked it! :)

Hey Benjamin! Glad you liked it and thank you so much for watching! :)
Useful information, thank you man! Does the kb/s also change with the frame rate or just resolution? I am curious!
Thanks for watchign man, glad you like it! :)
I totally forgot to answer your question!
Yes, typically when you want to export a higher frame rate project (maybe a gaming montage at 60fps) you would raise that number. Because bitrate is just "data over time" and if the bitrate is higher, that just means each frame has a little higher kb at its disposal, which ultimately leads to a "cleaner" image!
Hope this brought some clarity! :)
Great video thank you
Thank you so much! Appreciate that!🙌🏽

Can use the quick export option? or it is not the same option for best quality for youtube, appreciate your reply.
Hey! I wouldn’t recommend that. I would rather go with the delivery page, set everything up and then save it as a preset so you don’t have to change anything on the next exports and it basically is as fast as a quick export!:)
@@SebastianFriedrichVisuals Really appreciate it

Hey Owen! Glad to see you back on this channel again! Glad you liked it and thank you fir watching! :)
Hi! I have almost 2hr wedding project, and I don’t need to upload it on TH-cam, what would be the best render quality you would suggest? Is it still this one?
Also, my second question is, what if I already start editing my videos, can I still change my settings before rendering it?
And you mean that project setting and render/export setting should be the same, right?
Hey Jessica! Thanks for the question, but it’s not that simple to answer.
If you aren’t concerned about file size, I would go with the bitrate mentioned in this video, if you are however, then try to lower the bitrate by 10k-20k, depending on your resolution, accordingly.
To answer your second question: Yes you can, but not the timeline framerate. This one is locked. If you want to change the framerate for a current project, right click in the media pool, create a new timeline and there you want to set The framerate that you want. Then go back to your original timeline, highlight all the clips, copy them and paste them in the new timeline.
To answer the third question: partly.
You can have different project and render settings, but lets say your timeline is in 1080, if you export at 4K, you are upscaling your footage which could result in less quality.
Also you want to leave your timeline framerate as is. Lets say you edit in a 24fps timeline, you also want to export 24fps. If you change this in the Export settings, you might run into a choppy video!:)
I hope this answer has brought some light to your questions!:)

Hi nice video i have a question i have a bmpcc 4k with sirui 35mm anamorphic lens i shoot in 4k Dci 4096x2160 with the dezquees mode on in my camera. Do i just change the 3840x 2160 to 4096x2160 or depending on the aspec ratio like if i wanna do 4096x1716

Yo Mr. T thank you so much! Super glad you liked it! :)
I’m making valorant videos with 1080p recording, 4k export(because of youtube boosting 4k video quality), 60 fps, 120k bitrate. Am I doing it right?
If you’re recording in 1080 I wouldn’t upscale to 4K - but otherwise it’s fine. You could also go with 80K I think, should be fine and you have smaller file sizes!:)
@@SebastianFriedrichVisuals It's a trick to make your youtube videos with better quality. Just edit at 1080p then export 4k, normally you don't get any advantages nor disadvantages BUT youtube unlocks VP9 for you(which only for channels with so many subs) and your videos will be so much better than uploading 1080p.
And thank you, i'll try 80k bitrate then :)
How do i get to the timeline as cant see what you clicked to get in the settings i have action cam which is filming full 4k but i can only export HD in quick export so be great to export 4k
I mean, you create a new project and then select the edit page on the bottom, then you are on the timeline. Then it is clearly shown to select the steering wheel in the bottom right corner to open up the settings tab, change the settings accordingly as shown in this video. After all of that being done, go to the render page (bottom of the screen, last icon on the right, the rocket) and change the settings accordingly
Very very Great.. Please keep it up..
Thank you so much! I will definitely do and there's many more to come in the next year! :)

Hey Stefano! Haven't noticed major differences to be honest, so I'd say that's up to you whatever you prefer! Do a test and export the same clip twice with both settings and see whatever you like more! :)
@@SebastianFriedrichVisuals I think TH-cam compression kills whatever effort we put to get a decent video out :D
Thank you Sipastian ! Dankeschön !
Hey Maher! You're welcome man! :)
Awesome info. There were a few I missed. Question, under the quality I set that to 100000. Is that ok to do or keep it to 80000?
Hey man! Glad you liked it! :)
For the quality, I suggest to never use the default one. For a 1080p video I would go with 40k to 50k and for 4k I suggest to use 80k to 100k!:)
Hope this helps you! :)
@@SebastianFriedrichVisuals Certainly does. Sorry for another question, for a long time I used auto in the quality settings, I did a test and limited it to 100000. The file that was limited was smaller than the one I did in Auto, I thought because it was a bigger file that it might be better quality using auto. Is that the case or not? Cheers mate :)
@@northeastdroneproductions Hey man!
This depends on the bitrate of your clip, but overall resolve has a very little default bitrate, that's why I never used it before. You might even go higher than 100k. You could try 120k - 140k and see if the quality is better this way! :)
@@SebastianFriedrichVisuals I don't know if this is the right approach but what I typically do after my video is shot is look at the video file info using VLC or Quicktime (Video Inspector) and check the bitrate of the video. If I see it's 120Mbps bitrate for the clip(s), then I convert that number to Kbps, which is 120,000. I don't ever do 1080p at one rate and 4K at another. I just look at the bitrate data of the clip itself and make note of that. Then during my export, I convert it to Kbps, as I just explained. Again, I have no idea if this is a good approach but the quality seems to be much better for me when I do this.
Thank you for your video, it was indeed helpful :)
this was very helpful, im trying to export the best quality of my film..shot on 1920x1080
Hey there! Glad it was helpful to you!

You‘re more than welcome!!:)
Hello. Thanks for the lesson. Can you tell me - is it possible in Davinci, when scaling the timeline, to drag video pieces along it? I switch from the premiere to Davinci and could not understand what this function is called (if it is connected separately) -
For some reason, when I change the timeline scale, the video pieces fly to the beginning of the composition and dragging is possible only if you do not scale the timeline at all.
thanks a lot Sebastian, very good video as always. May I give you one little suggestion, pls don't zoom in too much i find it very very hard to follow your zoom and i do not know where to zoom so i need to watch again and again how you did it. Just small suggestion.
Hey Benuth! Yes, you are absolutely right, especially if you are new to the program, its kinda hard to follow along with the screen being that far zoomed in! Thanks for the feedback, highly appreciated! :)
hi, i followed many others and your steps, but i never get high-quality video, whatever I try. Nor the x264/h.264/265/bitrate changing, nothing helps, my videos come out poor, banding, a bit pixelated. Can it be caused by computer itself, color space?
like your tips got me the closest result, but still, i get a banding, and some lagging on video.
Hey! This sounds weird. With what do you record your videos?
@@SebastianFriedrichVisuals blackmagic and lumix gh4. Maybe its drivers' fault or video card failure?
@@pedroalmadovar8844 the banding effect if you mean that waves of lines or bars moving is caused because your light blinks(like on and off) and every light does that, but not visible to human eye, but is captured by your cam, because of the different framerate of your cam. Try different framerates while recording. Sorry for my crappy English, hope this helps.
I have my footage recorded in 1080p 60 fps. All my timeline and clip settings are the same at 60fps but when rendered it isnt as smooth as it should br and it seems i lose frames and have less than 60fps. How do i fix this??
Maybe there was an issue with exporting. Or, is really ALL the footage in 60p? if not and the timeline is 60p, that might cause the issue.
Thank you so much for this great video! One thing I wasnt sure so, what does "decode quality setting" really mean and when is it utilized? (perhaps during rendering or perhaps already during the editing?). If the latter, is it comparable with the timeline proxy mode (like half or quarter resolution)? Your help would be very much appreciated.
The decode quality is for editing only! However, it is NOT needed when you are working with regular, non-raw file formats!
If you are working with raw formats and you change this, it's like timeline proxy mode, just as you said, only for the raw material. If you change this during editing, make sure to change it back before exporting OR make sure to select "force sizing to highest quality" AND "force debayer to highest quality" - if you check those, the decode format will automatically be set to "full res" on exporting! :)
@@SebastianFriedrichVisuals Wow, I didnt know this. Since I work mainly with raw footage it will hopefully help my workstation to edit 4k footage even smoother. Thank you so much.
im confused why you would leave it at 24fps.. im editing gaming clips and rending at 24fps looks horrible for me. i always put 60 fps render
Yeah, that was a little unclear! Leave your timeline framerate the framerate your source material is and Match that with the export framerate! In your case 60 is correct, but you’re also limiting yourself when it comes to slow motion, because you would need a gaming to be recorded in a higher framerate than 60(I.e. 120fps) if you want to slow down the clips on the same 60fps timeline
I'm new to DaVinci, I've looked up a lot of render settings and to my knowledge used the settings for the highest-quality output. However, my render takes less than a minute, and comes out looking like palydough? do you have any idea?
great contect brother
Hey Ozul! Thank you so much, I'm super happy that you liked it! :)
Great video! Saved it as a preset for exporting :) but I was wondering. If I edit 4k on a 1080 timeline. The export page says you can change the final resolution, do I have to also change both the timeline AND the export page to 4k or can I leave the timeline at 1080 and export in 4k (read your response to someone else below here, but I saw in Davinci that you can change the export so idk if that means I also have to change the timeline as well)
Hey EJ, thank you so much for the comment!
You're partly right. Let me clarify this in an easy, understandable way. You can edit 4K clips in a 1080 timeline but those clips will be 'converted' to 1080, which means they lose a little bit of quality. If you go to the render page with the timeline set to 1080, you can still export 4K, BUT, as I said, your original 4K file is compressed to a lower 1080 version and if you select 4K rendering on a 1080 timeline resolve will take that 'lower, compressed' version and upscale it to 4k, which means youre final export will be an even lower quality 4k. Think of it like that: you take an OG 1080 clip and export it to 4k - quality loss. To prevent this, you can edit your whole project in 1080 (it's just faster) and right before you go to the render page, open the project settings and change it to 4K, then go to the render page and export it in real 4K!:)
Just a little side note to the last step: if you plan on doing fusion animations like title effects with masks, do those after you set your timeline resolution back to 4k, because if you do this before, it could mess up some of the animations and scales of your fusion comps!
Okay, very long answer but I genuinely hope this gives you all the informations that you need! :)
@@SebastianFriedrichVisuals thank you so much! The last part about fusion effects i need to remember. Also the 4k bit. Thanks :)
friend I have a problem with davinci to solve, will you be able to help me? =)
I'm using animated text templates (lower thirds) but none executes, I think it might be some configuration, I've already researched that only and found nothing.
I installed them all in the correct folder but none run, and I've used them before in other versions of davinci, I currently use 18.1.4 studio, rtx 2070 video card, amd rizen 7 processors.
Why is there no Quicktime H.265 option in my copy of Davinci Resolve 17? I scroll down and only h.264 appears.
Not 100% sure but this might be limited to studio version users only.
Never mind. You need the 17.4 version. It was added. And you dont have to uninstall...just download and install it...it will update the program and you wont lose your database. Back it up just in case though.
If my footage been captured in hd, would it help to export in ultra hd?
Hey Anthony!
I‘d say this totally depends which quality HD you captured. There are bad quality hd‘s that don’t look that great, so I‘d say just try both versions and watch them side by side and see if you can notice a difference- for better or for worse!:)

No one explains what that 'Quality - restrict to:' option does or why it's important. How does restricting quality guarantee that it is highest?
This basically determines the file size of your final video - the larger, the more quality.
By reading the DaVinci Resolve manual, I can guarantee that restricting your quality to 50-100k will get you better results than leaving it at Auto because Resolve has a set restriction at auto build in, that sits (don’t quote me in that - I believe it sits at around 10-20K)
That should answer your questions and concerns

I have my DR settings just about identical to yours, the preferences and the project settings and the render settings but I'm on a Mac. No matter how I change my settings the screen view within DR will always look much more saturated and higher contrast than my rendered video which I view in Quicktime and also on TH-cam after uploading. Any ideas come to mind? BTW something I learned today. I've been rendering as MP4 till today. I took your recommendation and used MOV instead. The file rendered about three times faster! A nice surprise.
Hey Scott! First of all, thanks for the nice comment! There's an easy solution for your problem. Just open up DR, then go all the way up in the top left corner to 'DaVinci Resolve' and then select 'Preferences'.

Hi, In the "Camera Raw" setting, reducing the decode quality to Half, Quarter etc. Is this the same as reducing the quality in the "Playback" menu "Timeline proxy resolution"?
Hi! Yes, you are right, but, 2 things (important!!!):
1. this only affects raw files
2. you have to manually set it back to full if you've changed this OR you have to check force debater to highest quality AND force sizing to highest quality! Otherwise you're doomed because unlike timeline proxy mode, it doesn't automatically set back to highest quality so keep that in mind! Hope this helps you! :)

What’s the settings to render n export for Instagram. Sometimes I see others and it’s super clear then mine isn’t
Hey Adam!
I suggest to use a bitrate no larger than 7500 kbits, 1080x1920, rec.709 & sRGB, mp4 & h.264 - these should give proper results. You can also change the gamma to gamma2.4 if you don’t like sRGB!:)
@@SebastianFriedrichVisuals what about h.265

Thanks for the video! That's helpful, I usually leave the quality at auto..
My question is, is it fine to render 4K with just CPU?
I mean, with the current market price for GPU it's really hard to find an affordable GPU
So when I'm rendering it always makes the CPU to work 100% which make me quite worried. CPU is Ryzen 5 3600 btw.
Hey Scelusia!
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment! I am glad you like it! :)
Of course, it is totally fine to use just the CPU to render. The current prices for a GPU is bonkers, wouldn't recommend to buy a GPU right now - in my windows PC however I got a GeForce 1060 6gb which is absolutely fine and relatively cheap - or, what I would also recommend, if you're in the market for an 'editing' PC - I got myself a Mac mini M1 with 16gb ram, you get one on Apple refurbished for around 600-700$ and that thing is incredible - cheaper, than just a GPU and it shreds my 1060 6gb - render times on the Mac compared to the Windows: Mac is 3 times faster!
But back to your question - if you have the time to render using only your CPU, that is totally fine! If you need your PC for more stuff, start the rendering when you go to bed and let it render over night, so by the morning it is finished and you can still use your pc! :)
@@SebastianFriedrichVisuals
Indeed, I don't know how long the price will continue like this, I even thought of getting those T400/T600 GPU for editing. Maybe I'll just wait a little more...
I see, then it's fine then, I just kinda worried that it might shorten the CPU lifetime or something when it does 100% work everytime it render 4K vids.
Thank you for the kind reply!
Yes, if you are on a tighter budget I would definitely recommend to wait until the prices drop, then you'll get more for less money!
Don't worry, your CPU probably isn't going to "wear out" or anything like that! You are more than welcome! :)
When i use Quicktime, my colors are bland :/
Do you edit on a Mac and if so, have you activated Show Mac display color under preferences?
That’s mostly the reason the colors shift - and they don’t actually shift, they were just wrongly displayed within resolve itself!:)
I record in 1440p 60fps.. edit & render in 1440 60fps. Output video looks great but when uploaded to YT quality turns to garbage?
Have you tried exporting in h.265? Sometimes TH-cam takes a while until the video is uploaded in full res!:)

Thanks a ton man!! Super glad you learned a lot!:)
What about larger files? I have a project of 35 minutes but when rendered it comes around 14 GB which is way to much for me to send to my clients. What's the solution for this? Do you have any suggestions. Much appreciated.
Well, larger projects require more space. You could lower the Bitrate by 20k and see how the results are going to be. I mean, most of my YT vids are 10 GB. Quality needs space, you could, however, if you want to offer a really great service, buy a couple 32 GB usb sticks with your logo on and upload the files to that - then I'm sending the final product on that nice USB stick in a nice little box over to my clients. It's the little things that make clients even more happy lol. I'm sorry. Try to lower the Bitrate as I said, or, if your doing an IG video you probably don't need 4k,lower the res to 1350x1080 or 1920x1080. That's what I would try
Some say bitrate must be double of frame rate is it true??
Well, it might be. But you can‘t Go wrong with 80 - 100K:)
What if you want 60fps per second? do you change it to 60fps or leave it at 24fps?
Hey! Good question. If you want to export 60fps, you should set your timeline framerate to 60fps as well in the project settings (before you start editing a new project)! :) hope this was helpful to you! :)

To answer your question - sometimes there is no 'downside' in exporting and editing in 60fps. That's totally up to you and the type of videos you produce. For example, if you're filming with a regular camera, you typically want to go 24fps to have the most natural amount of motion blur. If you are filming in 24 fps and edit in a 60fps timeline, resolve basically has to reproduce the 'missing' frames which could end up in a stuttery video. However, on the other side, if you do for example gaming related stuff, you want 60 FPS, because that's the typical framerate for games, which will give you less motion blur, what's better for gaming related content! :)
Hope this'll answer your question, if you feel like there's anything missing or 'unclear', just let me know! :)
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment - highly appreciated! :)
@@SebastianFriedrichVisuals was about to ask the same question, as I record, and edit gameplay. Wanted to make sure selecting the 60fps wasn't incorrect.
Hey man!
That's my bad, I totally missed the point about "screen recordings" / "gaming videos" in this video! So sorry about that! There's nothing wrong with exporting in 60fps because most softwares that you use to capture your screen with record in 30 / 60fps and you play your games at 60 / 144 / etc hz. Just make sure you set your timeline resolution to 60fps when you start your project and you want to render in 60fps. If you forget to set your timeline to 60fps and export in 60fps you will have a stuttery video! :) Otherwise, things are just fine with 60fps as well! :)
One thing I don't understand is why would you leave your frame rate at 24 if you're working on a project that is 30fps or 60fps? I've always set this to match whatever my project is.
Hey JPostman. As you might have seen in this video, my timeline was set to 24. So I also matched the export settings.
@@SebastianFriedrichVisuals Hey man, why would you set your timeline to 24 when your source is 60/120fps? What are the benefits? Cause DaVinci always asks if I want to match the timeline fps with the source fps and without knowing the consequences, I just let it do that to be safe.
@@billythecat hey Billy!
Well, the only reason is that if I have my timeline set to 24 and my source clip is 60 or 120fps, I have the ability to slow down the clip to slow motion. If you set your timeline to 120fps and your source clips is 120fps too and you want to slow that down, things start to look choppy!:)
@@SebastianFriedrichVisuals understood! Thank you so much!
I’m trying to upload 10 hour video what should I do
You're trying to export a 10 hour video for TH-cam, right? How important is the video quality to you?
Hi, Since this video is also about the render-page I want to ask you as a pro something that resolved around my mind for a long time. I really hope you as a pro have a good solution.. Lets say I have a finished rendered video of 30min length. (this took a couple of hours to render because I used raw-footage). And then I figure out that within the last 60 sec there is a big mistake I need to correct. Do you have me a good solution for this? I only know of two ways (either way is not really desirable I find). 1. I correct the bad clip and render it all over again; 2. I use the rendered video-clip as a basis and cut off the last 60 sec and add the corrected part of the raw-clip. In this way I have a slight quality loss in the first video-clip (the one that was already rendered). But either way Davinci will render the whole thing. Is there not a way where Davinci will render only the last 60sec oder somehow add the two clips just together? :-)
Well, if you just want to render the last 60 seconds, you can go to the last 60 seconds, hit ‚i‘ on your keyboard (to create an in-point; then go to the end, hit ,o‘ to create an out point and then just render the in and out range, so you only have the last 60 seconds!:)
I need one whole 30 min video-clip. What is the purpose of just rendering the 60s clip? I could do that but how do I add it to the other 29min clip without having Davinci render all 30min all over again?
@@valis1680 oh, guess I misunderstood your comment, in the last part you asked about just rendering the last 60 seconds.
Mh. Do you have the studio version of resolve? Then I suggest to activate the Nvidia encoder and access gpu rendering, easily tripples the render time.
Otherwise I would just render it out over night where you don’t need your pc…
You skipped right over the 'multi-pass encode' option
Yeah, because I feel like for some TH-cam videos a multi pass isn’t needed
If i have my timeline resolution high, will it make editing slower. And if i filmed in 4k but don’t have it set on high and keep it on 1080p will it still export in 4k?
Hey Wesley - if you set your timeline resolution high (4k) it'll slow editing down, especially with fusion work or a heavy color grade. If you have filmed in 4k, then just leave the timeline in 1080 and edit in 1080. And right before you are about to export, go to your project settings and set the timeline resolution to 4k, so you can render it in 4K. :)
@@SebastianFriedrichVisuals thanks so much!!
@@wes.dunlop You're more than weelcome! I mostly edit in 1080p but before exporting, I set my timeline back to 4K, just dont forget this step otherwise it get's frustrating! :D
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks Daps! Glad you liked it!!:)
wish you didn't skip the audio tab!
The actual sound designing in Fairlight or the audio tab in the delivery page?
@@SebastianFriedrichVisuals In the delivery tab, most youtube tutorials just skip right over it. It would be nice to understand the basics and best practices. Now that you mention it, it would be good to have that for Fairlight too :)
@@DirtZen i am not really an audio expert so I didn’t want to talk about something that I haven’t fully understood either, so I basically never touch the audio tab in the delivery page and leave it as is - however, when it comes to sound design, I know a few things here and there and funny enough, tomorrow I‘ll drop a video (editing breakdown) where I also go in depth on Sound Design, if you are interested in that!🙌🏽
@@SebastianFriedrichVisuals Awesome! Thank you :)
My work is mostly architectural. Vertical lines in the buildings render out with pretty bad jitters as the drone filmed horizontally. I'm rendering at high settings but the jitters are very obvious. They are not there in my original 30 fps footage. Much of the footage I had to speed ramp up or just increase the speed of the entire clip. Any way to smooth out horizontal panning jitters?
Well, I assume you are talking about the "moirè" effect, that happens really often on drone shots when filming buildings.
Getting rid of that in post is very tough and I have found a slight workaround that works for me: First of all, go to the color page , add a slight bit of noise reduction (If you have the studio version), then add a slight bit of blur (really only a little bit) and then on another new node add a little bit of sharpness back in!
This solved the issue for me, a bit at least! :)
@@SebastianFriedrichVisuals I will definitely try that out. Thanks very much.
@@scottweaverphotovideo You're more than welcome, I hope this'll solve the problem at least a little! :)
Best export setting for Instagram
proress or h265?
If you have tons of gb free space, you can go ProRes, but there’s no point in doing so! I‘d choose h.265
thnx
!!!!!
Hey there! You're welcome man, thanks for taking the time to watch and comment! :)
I keep getting interlaced footage even though my source footage is not interlaced
Hey Todd! What's your source footage (res, frame rate) and did you use those settings for rendering or which did you use?
@@SebastianFriedrichVisuals I found the problem. The framerate of my clip was higher than the export setting. Thanks for the quick response though :)
@@SilentAttackTV You're welcome! I might have missed pointing that out that the export frame rate has to be the same you edited in! :) Glad you solved the problem, though! :)
My files after exporting is a completely black file.
Lol, that certainly cannot be. Which step have you missed?
need them subtitles man
I am trying to upload subtitles to all the newer videos, I'll check if subtitles are available on this one!
@@SebastianFriedrichVisuals haha I just watch your vids in class thanks man
@@triangleguy7325 what? In school class? You didn’t?! 😂
@@SebastianFriedrichVisuals haha its better than art app. in college 🤣
If you shoot in 30fps and edit in 24fps, your audio will be out of sync.
And what about Reed 6K ???
What is 'reed'?
For 6k - if you want to export 6k,set your timeline res to 6k and set the render res to 6k as well.
For the Bitrate set that to 150000, ca.
If you want to export a 6k file in 4k,follow the steps in the video and you're good!
@@SebastianFriedrichVisuals thanks sorry I mean Red komodo 6 k
@@qusayquraishi1607 You're welcome man! :)
That tip at 7:53 was especially helpful, thanks!
Super glad to hear that man! Thank you! :)
That setting takes a long to time to render.....I know I'm doing it now with a short 1 minute clip.
Hey Michael! It seems like you stumble across an older version of this video! I made a new and updated version for 2023 on my channel - maybe this'll help you out better! :)
✌....
Are you insane? Your settings are going to export to a quarter-gig a minute. Just to post on TH-cam? LOL
A quarter gig / minute is totally fine. If I'm doing less screen recording and more talking head stuff the typical size of a 6 min video is around 8-10gb. That's totally fine for TH-cam. But of course, you decide the quality of your content.
Thank you very much
You’re most welcome! 🙏🏽
Really brilliant! Thank you so much!
