Would love a fix for the longstanding limitation of being unable to render "Frame width or height can not be an odd number." when doing a same-as-source resolution render back to Premiere.
It's still really common in the doc world to have tons (maybe hundreds) of oddball resolution stills on your timeline. Whether it's archival, etc. Childhood photos of the subject scanned by their mom. In the case where we grade in Resolve then Premiere round trip back to the editor, these renders can be a troubleshooting nightmare, as you need to prune out all the odd resolution shots, round them in Photoshop, then edit back into your Resolve timeline.
I thought maybe this could be fixed by making a Fusion comp for each still and using a Resize to an even resolution, but that still resulted in the error message.
My proposal would be to just have Resolve do a quick round down to the nearest even number when rendering like this, rather than erroring out and the whole episode render grinds to a halt.
Another idea would be a checkbox that says something like "render stills as TIFFs." So 90 percent of your render is ProRes, but the stills in the timeline go out as TIFFs, which presumably can be odd number resolution.
One curiosity I discovered is that only the horizontal resolution seemingly needs to be even. I had a few shots with even horizontal resolutions but odd heights, and those rendered OK.
