render Reels timelines into 1 sequence
Hi,
I’m mostly working withs several timelines for each reels.
At the end, I render all timelines and put the renders into a new timeline to obtain one unique file or one dpx sequence.I’I d like to be able to render all my reels into 1 sequence directly.
Is that possible ?
Thanks…

That’s possible. Render in target mode.

Thanks but it s not what I meant. I know the target mode.
My concern is to render different timelines into one file.Config : Mac Pro 2010, 12×2,4Ghz, 32Go Ram, 3xFX4000,GT120, Decklink 3D+, RED Rocket, system on Crucial SSD 250, RAID FC 8gb Lacie 24To, CYCLONE PCI expander, Resolve 7.1

If it’s being rendered as an image sequence (you mentioned DPX) just render each timeline starting at the next frame number after the last one left off at. Name the output files the same name, and point them to the same place. The nice thing about an image sequence is that it’s just that: a sequence of sequentially numbered files. As long as they’re named the same, and continue the numbering sequence properly, when you’re done any software that’s sequence aware will see it as one long sequence.
If you’re rendering as wrapped movie files, you’re boned because Resolve cannot currently combine time lines. This is the reason that most high end work is rendered as an image sequence – to combine multiple timelines, and also to re-render any frames that either have problems or undergo creative changes.

Yes I agree with you, but I don t know how to change the frame numbers.
For instance, my reel one is at 01 00 00 00 and my reel to 02 00 00 00.And it seems I cannot change thoses numbers after the sequence is created

In the render window there is a setting that says “start rendering at:” and it usually defaults to the timecode of the first frame of your timeline (1:00:00:00 and 2:00:00:00 as you described).
If you change the value there, you can specify a different timecode that will be written into the header data and filename of the DPX files, without changing the actual timeline. At least, that’s my understanding, it might be easier to find if it said something like “start recorded timecode at:”

Since you can edit now in resolve. can you send out a set of DPX files for each timeline then make a new session pull in each end to end then render out as one long QT movie? staying with DPX or uncompressed would you lose too much???

Yes, you could. But you’d be incurring a second render pass to do it. Not that there would be any loss, but if you’re doing a DPX sequence, it’s much quicker to just renumber the files.
