BlackMagic Davinci Resolve - How to Export a Surround Sound File Use This for End of Semester Screenings

You will have your existing timeline from color correction but we're not going to use that

WE are going to copy and paste that timeline into a new timeline

Right click in the Media Pool area

>Choose >Timeline>CreateNew Timeline

Set the Timeline to be 1 Video Track

1 audio track that is 5.1

Uncheck Empty Timeline

Click on "Create"

Choose Master Settings

We have a "flat" DCP 1998 x 1080 so

make the timeline resolution 1998 x 1080

Same as if you had a 2048 x 858 Scope DCP

Click on "Save"

Check Image Scaling

Use this only if someone has given you a file that is not scope or flat

Stretch Frame to all corners or try all the input scaling settings

to make sure you are scaled right

Choose Format 5.1

NOT 5.1 FILM!!

Click on OK

Then edit the 5.1 sound file on the 5.1 audio track

Play for sync test and make sure all the timeline is in sync and sounds right
