Scripting. Feature Request:Add all Render Settings
Posted: Wed May 28, 2025 3:58 pmHi Everyone
We are a small post shop and rendering large batches of deliverables is rather cumbersome with Davinci Resolve.
I started coding an automated deliveries system, which would present a simple web interface where users could select different versions of a deliverable like resolution, color space, audio versions, subtitles, logos, etc. and render it all in a batch.
But very soon I hit a hard limit.
Subtitle settings and output audio track settings are not accessible over scripting.
Would it be possible to include audio 'Output Track' and 'Export Subtitle' as well as subtitles 'Format' in the scripting API?
