    When there is more than one edl that covers multiple versions of the same spot and you have graded all versions what is the step to merge all clips so that the same clips do not get rendered out more than once. And as some clips might be a little longer or shorter that are the same how does resolve handle this? In these different edl’s there could be different shots also that do not show up in some versions.

    I think that depends a bit on your overall workflow…

    If you are rendering your final picture from within each timeline, I don’t believe there is a way to combine the rendering effort so that it only renders the material once for all timelines… Usually this isn’t a huge concern because Resolve renders relatively quickly.

    If you are rendering media that will be linked to in, say, Final Cut, you could select the master session (where the clips are kind of merged already) and render all the clips in your master session, (usually in source mode with filenames etc.) then relink to the colored media in FCP… so you’d only be rendering once. This gets more complicated if you’ve used remote versions in the different timelines.
