Export Multiple Gallery Stills Issue

PostSat Mar 21, 2015 10:27 am

I'm wanting to export multiple stills grabbed from multiple timelines however the way Resolve names the grabs creates many repeated names. This means when I export quite a lot get overwritten.. Is there a way of renaming so I can avoid exporting in batches?

As a feature request for v12 may i suggest an option in which saved stills are named by their filename and frame number? (e.g. A001C001_000001)

the current way that names stills based on video track, clip number in timeline, version leads to duplicates if you have one stills dump and multiple timelines. this leads to duplicates being overwritten on exporting without prompt.

I agree: I wish there was a way to export stills based on the custom title within the session and not the file name/frame number method.

My workaround is to export each timeline's stills to a separate folder, then copy them together in one batch within the operating system. The OS will avoid overwriting the old file with a new one if you select that option.

It would be nice if Resolve could keep track of this housekeeping and keep all the destination still file names separate, adding a _1 or _2 extension if necessary.
