what's going on YouTube in today's fantastic color grading
tutorial I'm gonna be covering the basics of rendering so we're gonna be
working with delivery page now this will be oriented for beginner viewers or
maybe intermediate maybe you don't know something about this page so I'm gonna
cover a little bit of material here so this is delivery page the version of the
venture is all from working is sixteen point two
it's the latest one that just came out a couple days ago or actually yesterday so
let's start it I am working right now here with the file from raah film it was
shot on red camera we have a guy inspecting the plane and I already color
grade it so let's talk about delivering the file so the first thing obviously is
the file name over here you put the name of your file location is very
self-explanatory it's where you are rendering your
footage now here's a few things that you need to know for example if you're
working with the older computer that your computer is not that fast and you
need to render some heavy lifting footage anything 4k and above your older
hard drive may fail you when you render it happens especially if you have one of
those 5400 drives that used in laptops a lot of times or even some 7200 drives
regular HD DS are just not fast enough if you're rendering heavy format is
special at a higher resolution because we're talking about terabytes possibly
of data so they cannot keep up with that speed so what you need to do in order to
make sure your rendering will go successful go to the file and at the
very bottom you're gonna see render speed if your computer cannot keep up
with a crazy amount of data that you throwing at it make sure to change
your render speed somewhere between ten to five frames it will ensure that if
you have older Drive of or if there is any kind of problem the computer will be
able to write and read within the reasonable amount of time
all your data so your computer not gonna hang on you this is very common problem
among people online I've been reading in the comments that people say rendering
freezes on them so make sure to check that that's very important so let's get
back to the video section okay so here we have format here you choose the
format you want to render for most people and I'm talking about even
professional filmmakers to begin our filmmakers you only realistically gonna
have couple popular choices so number one it's the QuickTime you can render in
h.264 or h.265 nowadays I highly recommend using h.265 because it's a
little better quality and you have an option to use in video encoder meaning
that if you have relatively fast graphic art your rendering will go much faster
again that's all depends you know big chunks of it depends on how fast your
hard drives are now for this kind of stuff I really recommend rent rendering
from at least SSD to SSD don't render on a slower drive again because your
computer may hang if you're a PC user you're gonna see DNxHD that's for HD
resolution or GNX HR so this would be your higher-end format if you're an
Apple user most likely instead of this you're gonna have pro res and you
already know all the flavors of progress from HQ to Lt so that's up to you what
do you choose now these are the most common formats especially for delivery
online such as YouTube Vimeo h.264 or h.265 would be your appropriate
choice now here you select resolution by default the resolution of your rendering
going to be exactly the same as resolution of your project here's a
little thing that you need to know you're not going to benefit by putting
higher resolution in your rendering Danya timeline
always make sure that your timeline is exactly the same resolution as your
source file that way you're rendering everything and everything is appropriate
now here you have advanced settings and this is where a lot of people making big
mistake and when I was a young colorist and didn't know any better I think it
was the ventures off like 8 or 9 I used to always put this to fool however
there's a few kind of interesting tricks about this in most cases do not change
your data levels always leave it at Auto and let the Ventures of automatically
figure out what is going on in certain cases if you're rendering out sequence
or above 12 bit you may need to put it on full resolution I mean on full data
levels but it depends on again your project and the format your rendering if
your average user if your normal filmmaker even if you're rendering
high-end commercial most likely leaving at Auto will do just fine so you don't
need to tweak anything a lot of times people ask me why when I render the
footage looks milky or too dark this is the reason why you're probably
putting on video or full so don't touch any of that use optimized media use
render cache this one is a little bit tricky when you working with DaVinci
Resolve I highly recommend using optimized media and render cash
especially if you have a lot of complex the effects going on or if you color
grading have some kind of noise reduction in your computer basically
hangs and cannot cope with that however when you rendering I don't recommend
using those because you it may create a little problem down the line the
versions may not match and basically you much better off just
unchecking them to be sure that you're rendering normal in computer process
whatever you've done all over again that way everything is fine now for force
sizing to highest quality for is the bare to highest quality again if your
average user you don't need to worry about that so leave those as is its own
mapping this one is for HDR content and most likely within the next year or so
you're not gonna touch any of that because none of the online platforms
can't support HDR and even some people claim that YouTube does it does not the
HDR renders on YouTube look exactly like normal videos so audio
audio is very straightforward you have PCM and AAC by default I don't
touch with it I don't mess with it I just leave as default I'm not a now a
how do you engineer so I don't really need to mess however if you have some
kind of special music project make sure to check with your audio recordist if
there's a special format they want so this one by default will give you
fantastic sound so you don't need to worry about on top you have presets I
don't recommend using those presets just because in my opinion what I play around
with them the quality does not come out right for example if you're rendering
for YouTube all default settings will give you really good quality do not mess
with it don't do any kind of restrictions those files in particular
with h.265 going to be small in size and very high quality and let the YouTube do
its own compression the way you don't have to mess anything while rendering ok
let's move on so if you have multiple files over here right now I only have
one file on the timeline you can specify that if you want to render a single file
so for example if you right click on the little square and you can select render
this clip DaVinci Resolve will only ran
they're one-shot so all you would have to do click Add to queue select your
destination and click Save so that's the drill if you want to
render entire timeline go to the timeline right-click and select entire
timeline so that's how you select clip versus timeline also you can specify in
and out points ok so let me show you let's say I want this to be in point so
mark in and this I want to be out point mark out and this little selected area
will be the exactly area that the Ventures of will render this for you it
can be a single clip or it can be a range of different files that you
specify it just make sure it's very important every single time you do some
kind of adjustment make sure to add to the queue because if you don't DaVinci
Resolve will not update your existing queue for example let's say that you add
this let me do desktop let's say you selected this to be in the queue and now
let's say for some reason I'm changing my resolution well if I'm gonna click
start rendering it's not going to pick up to this change it's gonna pick up on
the job that's on the queue so every single time you change anything make
sure you keep adding it to a queue that way it's up to date and this is exactly
what the winter is all going to render because I know some people been making
this mistake they would add to queue then they would start digging with the
files and then they would click render and it's not gonna come out what they
selected this is exactly why every time you add or change something you have to
add again so your queue that way it will render up-to-date so this concludes the
basics of rendering leave a comments below you guys want me to do a more in
depth video about different formats I have fantastic video coming out
comparing the best format you should use for YouTube I'm comparing the
compressions and how it looks so stay tuned for this
one it's coming out next week all my computer specs and the equipment I have
listed in the description below be sure to check out my origami lads for
multiple cameras including black magic and newly added D GRE and I'm gonna see
you guys next time take care
