Yea if you only view it on a Mac. But when you upload it to TH-cam and social media it will not look the same… My videos are seen by mostly people on youtube and social media, therefore, I want to export for those viewers. Not myself on my laptop.
@ that has not been my experience. Also remember different browsers render color differently. Watching the same TH-cam video in Chrome will look different than Safari. Also Rec709 is traditionally a broadcast TV standard. Unless you’re delivering specifically for that need than Rec709 is not necessarily the best option.
Hi Jamie, I don't know if you have ever used the Media Management feature in Resolve. Media Management doesn't appear to be working at all for some reason. I tried various clips and even single videos and its not working. I am using the free version of resolve. Here is the steps I followed: File/Media Management/Timelines/Copy I picked the timeline I selected Used Media And Trim Keeping 1 Frame Handles (I tried using different frame handles) I didn't click on any other boxes. It is showing a current size of 60.01GB and the New Size as 41.66. When I click on Start and it finishes it turns out the files saved didn't change. All the files still equal 60.01GB. I tried it on multiple projects none of them are decreasing to the new file size. It doesn't appear anything is happening with the files.
@JamieFenn It is not the best settings for export and here is why: When you restricting bitrate you getting very bad quality in fast moving scenes that need above the average bitrate like (filming ocean waves, car driving, forest scenes with tons leaves, drone shots) - these can consume bitrate up to 4 times more other scened. So, resticting bitrate to any amout = lowering you quality. For example If you restrict to 30000 but scene needs 70000 = quality loss Some scenes in a video can consume 30000-40000-100000-10000 if you restrict to wahtaver number you want, you getting wasted bitrate at low bitrate scene, because it not needed 30000 and at the same time for 100000 bitrate scenes you getting low quality because you set restriction 30000. This is because constant bitrate, average bitrate and other restricted variation of output = producing worse quality video. Because codec(x264,265,266) cannot understand that in this moment with fast object in scene needs more bitrate than static scene with a person that only talking in video. To solve this issue million years ago was introduced CQ (constant quality) for any codec 264,265,266 - with cpu or gpu(nvenc encoding) export. Idea behind this was, each frame getting right amout bitrate that it needed without loss of quality, because in each scene it can consume different bitrate. So when you setting CQ it can use right amout of bitrate like 5000 when you filming static scene and it can be 100000 right away when frame changed to forest\ocean\fast moved scened with tons of objects without loss of quality. More than 6 month ago I wrote a message to davinci and asked tech support would they introduced CQ, they said they will hand over that message to dev team. 6 month later nothing happen = no response to my mail, no this important feature in app. Would be great if you make video with this topic, maybe some day when creators start talking about it, they will make it. constant QP already in davinci - (it is not the same as CQ, CQP = worse quality like others)
Hi jamie, Why did you export the youtube as 4K but not export the tiktok, instagram as 4K why export them as 1080? i always export them as 4k and my videos are high quality. Just curious to know? thanks
Hi Jamie, as always my namesake has produced yet another great video. Just a suggestion, I have my settings for proxy and optimised to ProRes 422 HQ. I find that this means that when I want to render my project by taking these boxes I have the highest quality and it does it like a rocket and it also helps play on the timeline when I’m editing as well. I may be missing something my friend but just a thought.
Sure you can render the ProRes h22hq. It will be much faster for sure. It’s just a different export. I want the highest quality possible with the smallest file sizes though
Hey Jamie, excellent video! Just a quick question. Say for a video that I wasn't going to upload to social media, would the default Sample Peal Program option be best for audio or is there a different option you recommend?
Why you don’t use high color gamma like P3-D65 which support HDR and dolby vision ? Already all social media support it, also most of the iphone video/image work with high color gamma ? My understanding is that your effect and color gradient will not by soo attractive with rec709 which is SDR
What do you mean by this? Can you do a deeper explanation and why we should do it? I use a cst a the start to convert log footage to davinci wide gammut/intermediate. From there i grade and put a cst at the end with davinci wide gammut/intermediate to rec 709 gamma 2.4. No gamma tags or something like that. For gopro footage i do a cst with input rec 709 and gamma 2.4 and output rec 709 and cineon film log to use the film looks in davinci. Is this the correct way. Will gamma tags at export do anything?
@JamieFenn Fair enough 😅😂. I make home videos that I save on a hard drive. This is connected to the TV via USB cable. Which export settings will carry best for this use?
Thank you for this video! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 I have a question as I’m new to using a color calibrated benq monitor with my Mac M1 Max. When I edit with monitor in rec709 set on the benq, it still looks different when I render and watch it on my studio display. It isn’t terrible but just looks more saturated. Why is this? You may have explained this already but I’m still learning! Thanks again!
Apple has its own color management. Even with a calibrated monitor it won’t make a difference. You need a deck link for direct pass through to really see what Davinci produces.
HUGE mistakes bro. First: x265 compress the data too much for youtube and other online video platforms. It means: TH-cam _always_ RE encode the uploaded videos, so the source data is MATTER, how it's "rich". The x265 invented NOT for this type of usage. Made for decrease the video sizes what you use offline on your storage drives. Second: You just simply ignored the moov_atom prebuffer command to check ( "Network Optimization" in DAV) I can't imagine why you do this. Really. It's necessarely.
So what is the problem with the presets? Are we supposed to believe that Black Magic doesn't know what's best for exporting videos? You keep saying you like this and you like that... Ok, but why?
Exactly how i do it as a proffesional. Took me 2 years to get this info so huge help for every beginner here, listen! :)
Glad it helped!
If you’re on a Mac, choosing Colorspace as P3-DCI and Gamma Tag as sRGB you get an exact match of how your color looked while editing.

@@AdamSzarmack I’m the only one watching my videos and I’m on Mac 🤣 so thanks for the tip!
@@JamieFennif you plan social media targeting (which is mobile first usually) you can export P3-D65, ST2084 - which support HDR and dolby vision
@@AdamSzarmack sounds like you have to make a video on it then. Cause I don’t know what you’re talking about.
Thank you for always being a good source of information Jamie!
You're welcome! Glad I could help!
Thank you Sir for your video. Helpful to me as a beginner in Davinci Resolve 19.
You are welcome!

would of been the cherry on top if you showed how to save as pre-set so its a 1 click next time through, but nice non the less!
hey, which Monitor do you use? i would need a new one;) thx for the videos, they really help alot

Interesting
please How To export a project from DaVinci Resolve 19 for multiple platforms without having to recolor from scratch again ? Color management Setting
1:15 doesn't that mess with your fussion stuff?
I also think soo ?
Good guide, but the title was misleading. I was expecting an easier way to export from Resolve in 2025.
Yayuhhhhh good stuff dude!
Thanks bro! Appreciate it!
I love this❤ i saved all the settings
I was just about to export my vid, have to try these settings out!
Let me know how it works for you!
What does your color management look like when editing? What color space are you editing in?
DWG
2.4
@ would you suggest that even if you’re not grading on a calibrated monitor?
Hi jamie, Why did you export the youtube as 4K but not export the tiktok, instagram as 4K why export them as 1080? i always export them as 4k and my videos are high quality. Just curious to know? thanks
I explain that in the video. Social media platforms compression ruins the quality. They want 1080x1920

Hey Jamie, excellent video! Just a quick question. Say for a video that I wasn't going to upload to social media, would the default Sample Peal Program option be best for audio or is there a different option you recommend?
I kept it on that preset for everything
Hi Jamie, thanks for this, btw, do you have tutorial also for keyboard shortcut for editing? Thanks a lot.
Yes, soon
If 80000 is ok for uhd you should be good with 20000 for hd as it is 1/4 pixels

@ yea it is correct but is not HDR :)
TH-cam does not support Dolby Vision, only normal HDR videos. TH-cam may also compress your videos which may result in quality loss.
3:26 which option should i select if i want to upload to instagram?
I leave it on the TH-cam preset honestly
And what happened with the audio? You forgot to changed it to normal instead for youtube right?
What? No I changed it to the TH-cam preset in the dropdown for both TH-cam and social media.
What if it goes to a harddrive connected to my tv?
I don’t know what you mean lol

Best quality results for me
I disagree with these settings, as they will create blockyness in the shadows.
I've never had that issue before. Weird
Turn the “force sizing to highest quality” Off. Thats the issue
HELOOO
First🙂
