Follow these steps to export your videos from DaVinci Resolve for the best results on MediaZilla.
General Export Steps
Click the Deliver tab (rocket ship icon at the bottom of the screen).
In Render Settings, choose Custom Export.
Adjust the settings as follows:
Recommended Settings
Format & Codec
Format: MP4
Codec: HEVC (H.265) — recommended for all resolutions (smaller file sizes, efficient quota use).
Alternate option: H.264 only if you need compatibility with older devices.
👉 For 4K output, always use H.265.
Resolution & Frame Rate
Match your timeline resolution and frame rate to your source footage.
Chapters (Optional)
Check Chapters from markers.
Choose the timeline marker color used for your chapter markers.
Leave unchecked if you don’t want chapters embedded.
Quality
High: Recommended for most content. Produces excellent quality with efficient file size.
Medium: Reduces file size by ~30% with only minor visual impact. Best for long-form content.
Best: Uses unnecessarily high bitrates — not recommended.
Frame Reordering
H.265: Leave Frame reordering enabled for better compression efficiency.
H.264: Disable Frame reordering, as it creates a variable frame rate incompatible with MediaZilla’s accelerated transcoding.
Export
Click Add to Render Queue.
Start the render to complete export.
Important Notes
Resolution: Always use even-numbered width and height values (odd values can cause encoding errors).
Audio: Use AAC, 320 kbps, 48 kHz or less.
Efficiency: HEVC (H.265) provides smaller files at the same quality, saving upload quota and reducing upload time.
