Hi all.
I just wasted an hour rendering footage out, because Resolve decided to use made-up filenames like "Untitled00932112.mov" instead of simply using the source clips' names.
If a user selects "Individual clips" under Render Settings, it stands to reason that he most likely wants to use the source names. How else will the user re-link the color-corrected files in his editing application?
The problem is compounded by the nonsensical UI organization under Render Settings, which has "Filename" and "Location" labels floating in space at the top of the Render Settings panel, but everything else having to do with files is hidden until you press the File button. You can't even set the value of the "Filename" field in that area without pressing the File button, so why not put everything file-related in one place?
The "Filename," "Location," and "Single clip / Individual clips" should be under File with the rest of the file-related parameters. That way the user can see all of them at once, and at least have some warning of unexpected defaults.
And finally, the terminology of "single clip / individual clip" is incorrect; you're rendering a single file or individual files. The clips are the source material, not the destination.
Thank you.
