项目设置Project Settings

简介Overview

在 DaVinci Resolve 中新建项目时，项目会沿用一些默认设置。这些设置虽然常用，但并不一定适合所有情况——最终交付平台、客户要求、源素材规格都会影响你的选择。因此，新建项目后的下一步就是检查并按需调整这些基本设置。其中最重要的是时间线（timeline）设置，因为它是所有剪辑和调色片段的容器。尽早把时间线设置正确非常重要——之后再改虽然可行，但会比较麻烦。When you create a new project in DaVinci Resolve, the project itself has some default settings that it draws upon. While these settings might be commonly used, they’re not always appropriate, depending on where you need to deliver the project, your clients’ requirements, or the source media you’re working with. Therefore, the next step when creating a new project should be to check these basic settings and adjust them to your needs. Possibly the most important of these settings concerns your timelines since these are the containers for all your edited and graded clips. It’s important to get these settings right as early as possible because making things right later, while possible, can become a little tricky.

默认情况下，所有项目的时间线分辨率通常为 1920 x 1080 HD，帧率（timeline frame rate）为 24 fps。这个分辨率是在你首次安装并打开 DaVinci Resolve 时的 Quick Setup 阶段选定的（参见本书开头的 Getting Started 章节），但即使你跳过了 Quick Setup，或创建了新的项目库（参见第 10 课 Delivery and Media Management），它仍然会作为默认值使用。因此，通过 Project Settings 新建时间线时，都会沿用该分辨率和帧率。虽然在创建时间线时可以单独修改设置，让同一项目中的每条时间线拥有完全不同的参数，但大多数项目的多数时间线会使用相同的设置，所以提前在 Project Settings窗口中设定一个通用值会更高效。By default, all projects usually have a timeline resolution of 1920 x 1080 HD and a timeline frame rate of 24 frames per second (fps). You’ll remember that the resolution was chosen during the Quick Setup phase when you first installed and opened DaVinci Resolve on your system (see the “Getting Started” section at the beginning of this book), but it also becomes the default even if you chose to skip the Quick Setup or when you create another project library (see Lesson 10, “Delivery and Media Management”). Therefore, this resolution and frame rate are used whenever you create a new timeline using the Project Settings option. Although these settings can be changed when you create a new timeline so that each timeline in any project can have completely different settings, most projects tend to use the same timeline settings for the majority of their timelines, so it’s useful to set a general setting in the Project Settings window.

那应该用什么时间线设置？这主要取决于最终交付场景。例如，故事片项目通常需要 3840 x 2160 Ultra HD、24 fps 的时间线；广播电视节目可能是 1920 x 1080 HD、29.97 或 25 fps；而交付到 YouTube、Vimeo 等流媒体平台时选择更灵活，需要根据源素材本身来判断。理想情况下，在拍摄任何素材之前就应确定好项目的分辨率和帧率，以保证素材拍摄规格一致。不过 Resolve 在同一项目甚至同一时间线上混用不同分辨率和帧率的素材完全没有问题。So what timeline settings should you use? That depends primarily on where you will deliver your final edited timeline. For example, if you’re working on a feature-film project, you’ll probably want to deliver a 3840 x 2160 Ultra HD timeline at 24 frames per second; if it’s a broadcast TV show, then the timeline might be 1920 x 1080 HD at 29.97 or 25 frames per second; whereas if you will deliver a file to a streaming site such as YouTube or Vimeo, your choices aren’t quite so limited and you may need to make a judgement call based on the source footage itself. Ideally, you should always decide the resolution and frame rate of a project prior to shooting any footage. This way, you can ensure that the footage is shot appropriately. However, Resolve can easily work with different resolutions and frame rates in the same project, even on the same timeline.

分辨率独立（Resolution Independence）DaVinci Resolve 是「分辨率独立」的，也就是说你可以把任意分辨率的片段放到时间线上，它们会自动适配当前时间线的分辨率。后期输出时，可以按需要把同一条时间线渲染成多种分辨率，生成多个交付版本，所有特效和变换（transform）都会自动按新分辨率重新调整大小。Resolution Independence DaVinci Resolve is “resolution independent,” which means you can add clips to a timeline in any combination of resolutions, and they will automatically fit the current timeline resolution. You can later output that timeline to as many other resolutions as necessary in order to create multiple deliverables. When you do so, all effects and transforms will automatically readjust themselves to match the sizing of each new timeline resolution.

简而言之，你只需要修改时间线分辨率，或在 Deliver页面新建渲染任务时把输出分辨率设得低于时间线分辨率，就能一次性生成多个不同分辨率的交付版本，所有效果会自动缩放到正确尺寸。In short, what this means is that you can create multiple deliverables in multiple resolutions by simply changing the timeline resolution or by using a lower resolution setting in the deliver page compared to the timeline resolution when you create a new job to render out, and every effect will be the right size automatically.

本教程的 Organ Mountain Outfitters 项目最终需要输出 HD 分辨率、23.976 fps 的文件，所以 Project Settings 就按这个来设置。For the Organ Mountain Outfitters project, the final exported file needs to be HD resolution at 23.976 frames per second, so these are the Project Settings you will choose.
