Saving export presets

When I went to upgrade Davinci Resolve I wanted to save the custom export presets I created. I don't see a way in resolve to do that, but I wanted to check if anyone else has any info. I also tried doing a file search of the name of the preset and it appears resolve doesn't create a file. I'm guessing it is saved in some config file or database. Do I really need to recreate all of my export presets every time I upgrade to a new version of resolve?

To my knowledge, yes -- Export Presets are not exportable. You also have to rebuild your Workspace configs your Data Burn-In Presets, and any Window shape presets as well. Keyboard Shortcuts can be exported and PowerGrades can be exported as DPX stills with DRX grades.

+1 to export/import [export preset] and the export queue for archival.

I would find this a useful feature.

Well ****. lol. I guess I'll just SS them

Import/export of export presets would be a very useful feature for me, working with lots of students.

+1

Import/Export "Delivery Presets" would be extremely useful.
We have 13 edit bays that must have the exact same presets and we call them by name through Project Management Software.

It's available in V15.x via scripting. I haven't tested it though.

+1 for this feature.

We have over 10 bays that need to share the same export settings.

+1 for this feature!
It's quite frankly insane that such a useful feature does not exist!
Comeon Blackmagic!

Hey everyone,
Just looking back into this Export or Share Presets, we just moved from Version 17 to 18 and the Presets did not come across when we upgraded our PostgreSQL Database.
We also list our custom burn-in presets, if anyone knows how we can bring those over would be greatly appreciated.

MAC OSX 10.15.7
Resolve 18.0.3

Presets are specific to a Database.

New Database, new presets.

Thanks Jeff I see that, would be great if we could export or move these to another / new Database for use.

Another +1 for this feature request. Dealing with a lot of freelancers who may not want to overwrite their entire DeliverPresetList.xml and if they were able to import a delivery preset it'd eliminate all guess work or easily overlooked parameters from screenshots.

Another +1 for this feature request.

This thread isn't the Feature Request. You can find that below.

A workaround to allow import project presets from one database to another is to import a Resolve project file which has the specific presets applied. The same can also be used to import the project into a newer version of Resolve. Presets are saved as part of the project file so they can be easily exported and imported to other workstations and databases.

Import the Resolve .drp file into the newly created database then navigate to the preset menu to save the project settings as a project preset within that database.

You can then delete the project if it is not needed in the new database.

It is a good practice to create template Resolve .drp files (without media ) which can be used to import project settings into older versions of Resolve which did not easily allow importing project presets.

Work arounds aren't needed, Tony. We can now Export/Import Project Presets, as well as Render Presets (the original topic of this thread).

How do you Export or Import Render Presets? There isn't any mention of this in the official Resolve Documentation for the Python API.

Render Settings menu.

Render Settings menu.

I mean is there a way to use Python or Lua scripting to do this automatically.

Oh, sorry.

I don't know scripting.
