No WAV export option for audio in Resolve

PostFri Nov 27, 2020 11:30 pm

Hi Folks, long time lurker, first time poster. I recently upgraded my copy of studio to V17. I had a V16 project that I migrated across. I had been exporting .WAV audio files for my audio guy tio master. I swear as I went to do one this morning the option was there for a minute, I went and saved my project, back to the edit window then back to the delivery window and the WAV option is no longer there, Only AAC, PCM and IEEE Float. Has the WAV export option for audio been removed? It's still in the manual!

You have to choose Wave under Format.
Now that the cat #19 is out of the bag, test it as much as you can and use the subforum.

You most likely have video export tuned on this time. WAV , wave is not a valid video format. Linear PCM is the uncompressed audio equivelent to WAV in quicktime, mxf etc

There is an Audio Only preset in 17, all the way to the right of that list.

And I'm happy to report it no longer adds extraneous and unwanted zeroes to the file name. :D
