Decouple internet uploading from specific presets

It's useful that Resolve has the ability to upload to sites like YouTube and Vimeoe. But I find the current implementation to be less than ideal.

The problem is that we have to use a set preset if we want to upload to a site. Having to use the YouTube Preset to upload to YouTube (and access the new built-in YT chapter support), means it's impossible to customise most render settings when uploading to YT.

As a result a lot of users, myself included, forego the built-in upload. We therefore lose the convenience of automatic upload.

My proposal:

De-couple uploading from presets. Instead, "Upload to .." should be a separate property in Deliver, configurable on every render with any preset, and saveable in every custom preset.

This would allow any preset to be configured to upload to any site, or even multiple sites per render preset. In future if internet accounts are expanded to allow multiple accounts per site (as has been requested by others), this would allow one video to upload to several YouTube accounts, for example.

With this system, the user could save their own presets which trigger an upload to whatever site they want. The pre-made "Youtube Preset", "Vimeo Preset", etc, would remain for convenience and backwards compatibility, but would no longer be the only way to upload.

If certain sites support only certain codecs, their "Upload settings" could be disabled unless a compatible codec is chosen. Or, ideally, selecting upload to a certain site would automatically filter the codec / bitrate settings according to what that site supports.

Here is a basic mockup of what the UI might look like:

Yep, +1

I post screeners almost daily and can never use the Vimeo/Frame.io presets etc because they don't allow access to settings I always need (like including burnt in subtitles) ... 'Upload' options I can save as part of my custom presets would be the most flexible (though I'd settle for making the fixed presets a tiny bit more flexible).

I agree wholeheartedly with everything that Tom suggests.
Would love to see it slightly improved.

+1 as well, I am surprised it was never added.

Definite +1 for this

Would be absolutely useful.

18b3, no improvement... PLEASE WHY ?
WHY WE DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO SETTINGS AND PRESETS ???
It looks so basic... is there a reason ?

There are several requests on deliver page, nothing has changed, please consider it...

Thanks !

+1 need it for burn in subtitles through frame IO

Please consider it !

Codecs
• Support for video uploads to internet accounts using custom presets.

Call me crazy, but I'm absolutely paranoid about making sure our renders are correct, so I manually render them out to a separate drive, check it in 5 or 6 places, make sure the audio is right, the color is right, the file names are right, and all that stuff... and then I manually upload it to wherever it needs to go. I trust nothing. The difference in time is trivial, and I can do other things while the browser is uploading the file in the background.

Would be great but still not true in 18b5 !

You should be talking about the final render for delivery, right ?
But during the wip phase when there are exchanges with the team or with the client, it's so straightfoward to have a button that does everything, you can launch the export and do something else, you know that your file will be online in the right place. And if you have a lot of exports to do, this is really a huge timesaver!! Trust me!

In addition, the interest of Frame.io or Dropbox replay is to have the comments live on the timeline...we also lose this possibility...!

In short, above all, I do not understand why this possibility is not available to us.

Have a nice day !

Hi Matt

If you're on Windows or macOS, and signed into one or more internet accounts in preferences, you can find these options under the advanced settings section under video. Please create a new report in the 18.0 public beta if you continue to have issues.

Oh! Sounds great!!
Maybe it's me but I can not find it...

Am I the only one ?

Nope, not just you, its MIA here too. Need to file it as a bug on the R18beta forum.

Am I the only one ?

Look below Subtitle Settings.
But for me only YT appears, I do not see the possibility of exporting to my Frame.io or Dropbox.

Ok, I've tried, it only works for YT...
Any help BM ?

Thanks !

It only works for YouTube, Vimeo and Twitter... so far there's been no acknowledgement that the limited support is intentional, so I assume it's a bug.

+1 for adding subtitle support to the render presets (especially FrameIO for my work, without it it's useles).

Exactly !

Looks like it’s a bug, reported here :

I’m struggling with that since months but nothing new from Black Magic…
Please BM !!

Any news about that ?
May we could export subtitles to frame.io one day...???
