Name render output file as the project name using a variable in DaVinci Resolve
Introduction
In DaVinci Resolve, "project name" can be considered a variable, but it's more accurately categorized as a project attribute or setting. When you create a new project in Resolve, you typically give it a name, which then becomes associated with that project. While the project name itself may not directly influence the editing or grading process, it serves as a reference point for organizing and distinguishing between different projects within the application.
The project name is visible in various places within the software's interface, such as project management screens, file browsers, and project settings. It helps users quickly identify and locate the specific project they want to work on, especially when dealing with multiple projects simultaneously.
While it may not have direct effects on the editing or grading process, the project name is essential for maintaining organization and clarity within your workflow, making it an important attribute within DaVinci Resolve.
On the deliver page, it is possible to provide a name to the output file before the rendering. Using a variable allows taking the project name as the output file name.
The steps are very simple and easy to reproduce. A link to a video sample is available below.
