Export: renders

Render the clips in a Resolve timeline or an Emberu project to a folder.

Where Emberu renders

Pick what to render: the Resolve timeline in front of you, or an Emberu project. An Emberu project renders with Ember Engine.

Export writes video files only. Caption text, Animations and polish stay on the timeline; no SRT, VTT, ASS, JSON or CSV files come out of it.

Before you export

  • Open a Resolve timeline in Resolve, or an Emberu project with Ember Engine installed.
  • Set the range with the playhead or an In and Out. Export renders the clips inside it.
  • Check that the clips you want are enabled. A disabled clip stays out of the files.
  • Choose Folder as the destination.

The export form

The rows run down the left of the Export page, with Start under them.

Preset
A preset from Resolve's Deliver page. An Emberu project shows the three rows below instead.
Optimized
Emberu's 1080p encoding on this computer's hardware encoder.
Bit Rate
The rate the video aims for, in kilobits per second; it shows when Optimized is off.
Slow mode
Renders at the lowest priority so the computer stays usable.
Export To
Folder writes video files. Social posting is not available yet.
Path
The folder Emberu writes to. It becomes the project's default next time.
Naming
Pattern numbers the files in a series. Source names each file after the first clip in its range.
Isolation
Resolve's Voice Isolation on one audio track. Raise the amount, then pick the track.

Starting a render

  1. Choose Folder

    The Path row below holds the folder.

  2. Name the files

    Use a pattern for a series, or edit each source name when every clip needs its own title.

  3. Click Start

    Start sits in the footer under the form. Resolve renders its own timeline; an Emberu project renders here.

In Resolve, progress shows on the Deliver page. The Main page's Export button shows the run and a percent, and clicking it cancels. A finished Emberu render plays its file or opens its folder.

Posting to social accounts

Posting to social accounts is not available yet.

Render to a folder for now. Emberu shows posting here when it arrives.

How clips become files

Emberu writes each continuous stretch of the timeline as one file, so clips that touch or sit close arrive together. Leave a gap between clips you want delivered separately.

The gap is not a setting. Where clips sit close, the warning above Start names the gap it will use.

When an export fails

  • A preset will not load: choose another. If the list is empty, check that Resolve has a project and timeline open.
  • The render will not start: open the Deliver page in Resolve and look for a blocked job.
  • The folder is empty: confirm the Path and that the render finished.
  • An output will not play: render it again, then check the disk and the preset.
  • Isolation does nothing: it needs Resolve Studio, and the track it targets must exist. Open the project in Studio, or set Isolation to zero.
  • Resolve's page or In/Out marks moved: set them again in Resolve.

Plans and requirements

Folder export works on every plan. A Resolve render needs DaVinci Resolve running with the timeline open; an Emberu project needs Ember Engine installed.
