Instant Saver documentation
Instant Saver is a time saving automation Fuse for DaVinci Resolve and Fusion Studio.
Overview
Instant Saver is a time saving automation Fuse for DaVinci Resolve and Fusion Studio. It replaces the complex multi step Saver workflow with direct one click export buttons for snapshots, image sequences, and video. It supports PNG, EXR, TIFF, and JPG for image sequences (including alpha and EXR Z-channel), and MP4, MOV (QuickTime), or AVI for video exports. It automatically creates timestamped folders and smart file names based on your project structure to prevent accidental overwriting, and can automatically generate a configured Loader node after export. It is fully compatible with both the Free and Studio versions of DaVinci Resolve. Typically it saves between 5 and 20 seconds per export. Developed by sh4rk.
