I have uploaded two screen shots that show the info on the left side of the Deliver page. I can’t see anything that would cause the very odd behavior I am describing, but what do I know. 🙂

Juan, honestly I have spent hours in the manual, and I have read every page multiple times relating to rendering in the Deliver page. I truly don’t need repeated guidance to go to the manual, but thank you anyway.

There are no jobs in the queue, zero. I clear the queue of completed jobs each time before I add a new job. Each time I took the actions I described above, there was only the one job in the queue.

Please tell me if there is some way I can be locking the rendering process into rendering the same clip repeatedly, regardless of what I select for rendering.

[Michael Holmes]

Here is exactly what is happening:

(1) In Deliver page, I highlighted 1st clip (In Thumbnail Timeline), right clicked, chose Mark In. I then highlighted last clip, right clicked, chose Mark Out.
The In/Out showed the correct numbers:
In: 00:00:00:00
Out: 03:19:28:03
Duration: 03:44:52:08 (some multiple versions).

When I clicked Render, the numbers jumped to:
In: 00:57:33:12
Out: 01:02:54:21
Duration: 00:05:21:10
And it started rendering the 13th clip only. It completed this and stopped.

(2) So, I tried a 2nd approach. I added the job again, right clicked in the Mini Timeline, and chose Select All.
When I hit Render, it said this has already been rendered, do you want to render again? I said yes, and times changed and it again rendered the 13th clip only.

(3) So I tried a 3rd approach. I highlighted the 2nd clip, right clicked and selected Render This Clip. Times changed to:
In: 00:00:06:22
Out: 00:07:37:19
When I hit Render, times changed again and it again rendered the 13th clip only.

So, something is telling it to render the 13th clip only, regardless of what I select.
I don’t see anything on the left side of the page where I could be causing this.

Can someone please advise what I can do??

Juan,
I have spent much time in the manual.

Please look at previous posts, you can’t select “Render all” in 9, unless you have found the secret method………..if so, please explain it to me.

I just want to use Mark In/Out, which should work. I just can’t figure out how to (1) remove all markers I have inadvertently placed and (2) place new In and Out markers so I select all of the clips for rendering.

[Michael Holmes]

Nobody can help on this?
Forget the numbering system questions, just please help on telling me how to use Mark In/Out to get all the clips rendered at once.

Thanks!

Dwaine,
Well, I finally got back to this project, and the “Select All’ didn’t work for me. It rendered one clip twice, for the two versions, but only the one clip (which was the clip highlighted in the Thumbnail Timeline).

I then tried highlighting all the clips in the Thumbnail Timeline using Shift-Click, but it didn’t work……..only one clip would highlight at a time (bright orange edging).

I then tried Mark In and Mark Out, and I can’t seem to get this right either. I tried moving a mark to the start of the first clip and selecting mark In, then went to the end of the last clip and selected Mark Out. This didn’t work either…………….somehow it decided to render only two clips: the 2nd and the 13th clips, out of 46 total. I assume I somehow accidentally told it to do this. (??)

How do I now remove the Mark In/Out marks, and try again?

What am I doing wrong?
……………….

Also, I am confused by the naming system.
I selected “Use Source Filename” and “Render each Clip with a Unique Filename”, using commercial workflow. What I got is this:

For the 2nd clip it rendered above, it was placed in a folder with the name:
00007800_00018621.
What is this number? How is it useful to me?

Inside this folder was this rendered clip:
V1-0002_00001(fcp1).mov

Also inside the folder was another folder entitled “Version 2” (I inadvertently selected “Place clips in separate folders”…..I will un-check this). Inside this folder was this rendered clip:
V1-0002_00001(fcp1).mov

The name is identical to Version 1 of this clip. Why does it not give Version 2 a unique ID so I can recognize it as Version 2? Will the XML data give the versions different names in FCP X?

[Michael Holmes]

Thanks for the quick response, Dwaine.

Then the manual is incorrect, and I am doing it correctly?

[Michael Holmes]

Outstanding, thanks Peter.

[Michael Holmes]

Thanks, Peter.
I would like to sure I am clear on how to do this.

In the Resolve 9 manual, on page 543 under “Rendering Versions”, it says:

“When the time comes to render your clips in the Deliver page, each clip’s currently selected version will be rendered. If you need to render a different version for a given clip, you can either make sure it’s selected in the Color page Timeline before you open the Deliver page, or use the Versions submenu in the Deliver page Timeline.”

This suggests you can only render one version for a given clip at a time. However, below that it says:

“Additionally, the Commercial Workflow output option, located in the Deliver page, provides a method of rendering multiple versions for each clip when outputting your project in Source Order (as individual media files). There are two additional options in the Version submenus of each clip in the Thumbnail Timeline contextual menu that let you control which versions are rendered when you use Commercial Workflow.”

So, this seems to say that I have to use the Commercial Workflow to render multiple versions at the same time.

When I go to page 574, it says:

“Use commercial workflow: Automatically renders every version that’s applied to each clip in the session, except for versions that have been flagged using the “Render Disabled” flag, found in the Version submenu for each clip in the Timeline. This option is typically used when you’ve graded multiple versions of a clip to be used for VFX work, and you want to deliver each grade as a separate media file.”

So:
Am I correct that I need to use Commercial Workflow to render all the different versions at one time?

If this is correct, the problem I see is that if I go to the Deliver page and select “Final Cut Pro XML Round-trip” in the easy setup, the “use commercial workflow” under Output Options is greyed out.

I can make this option available by selecting “None” for the easy setup, but I assume this means that Resolve will then not output XML.

Is Commercial workflow inconsistent with XML output?

I’m am just trying to clearly understand how I do this.

I don’t need the transitions, John. The pan/zooms won’t be used, just the individual close-ups.

Can you please give me a page number in the new Resolve 9 manual where it discusses simultaneously using different grades in different segments of a single clip?
