Embedded Fonts?

PostSat Jun 22, 2024 10:53 am

Hi,
I have a quick question which I am now unsure about.

With a static image, I can simply flatten the image in my image editing program of choice, and know that any fonts used in my image are NOT embedded, and cannot be extracted.

The question I have is - how does this work with video?

I have have a clip in my Davinci Resolve timeline, but what happens if I include text in my video - what happens when I export?

Is the actual font I used somehow embedded, or does Davinci Resolve simply flatten each frame and then combine them to make the video?

I want to purchase a font from a font foundry, and it says the font can be used in video, so long as the font is not embedded and cannot be extracted.

I didn't think it was possible to extract fonts from a video, but I am now doubting myself.

Any help appreciated.

Thank you all in advance.

It's the same with video files.
