From the menu bar, navigate to Davinci Resolve > Preferences and stay on the System tab.Configuring Preferences for Using the Native RendererĬonfigure the system to use the native Renderer as follows: The Dolby Atmos Production or Mastering Suite may still be needed for punch-in/out of existing masters, MP4 exports and speaker layouts above 7.1.4. Resolve 18 can also connect with the Dolby Atmos Renderer running internally via the Dolby Audio Bridge (Mac only) or running externally on a dedicated RMW. Re-renders can be generated and exported from Atmos masters imported into the NLE or in realtime from the a Bed/Object workflow in Fairlight via the native Renderer. Binaural Rendering to headphones is also supported. The Resolve native Renderer supports speaker layouts of 2.0, 5.1, 5.1.4, 7.1, and 7.1.4 depending output hardware, but does not support speaker arrays or onboard EQ. The Deliver component can be used to output IMF packages. The NLE component can be used to import and edit (cuts only) Dolby Atmos masters, as well as playback/QC master files against video. The Fairlight DAW component of Resolve 18 can be used for Dolby Atmos content creation, mixing, monitoring, master file import (.atmos and ADM BWF. This allows for a self-contained Dolby Atmos workflow in Resolve without the need for the Dolby Atmos Production or Mastering Suite. Resolve features a native Dolby Atmos renderer that can import and export master files.
