If you’re a beginner or newcomer to DaVinci Resolve (versions 18.5, 18, 17, etc.), today’s guide will quickly show you how to export image sequences in Resolve, convert them to video and fix related issues.
To export a png image sequence in DaVinci Resolve, go to the “Fusion” page. Right-click “MediaIn1” node, select “I/O” > “Saver”. Click on the “Inspector” > “File” tab > “Browse”. Enter a file name with a “png” extension. “Save as type” = “All Files”. Click on “Save”. The Png image sequence is exported.
To export a TIFF image sequence, go to the “Deliver” page, and click the “Custom Export” tab. Select “Single Clip” for “Render”. Select “TIFF” (or “DPX”) from the “Format” dropdown under the “Video” tab. Hit render to export the image sequence.
Let’s explore the above image sequence export in detail – step-by-step with pictures.
Resolve doesn’t have a direct export option for Png and Jpg image sequences. But there is a workaround!
