At work I regularly transcode a Resolve editor's video to AVC-Intra 100 50i using Avid Media Composer or Adobe Media Encoder because Resolve can't export interlaced video properly.

Looks like they still haven't improved interlaced video support which is a shame because the rest of the software is great but it just isn't fit for purpose for me

Is it common to use the editing tool to output a delivery format? I find that their encoders are universally pretty terrible so I always output an intermediate format then transcode it with something more capable.

I'm just a hobbyist when it comes to editing though.

I work in news and that's common. I don't mind what anyone uses to edit or transcode but for our equipment to broadcast it, at some stage it has to become 1080i50 and its quicker for someone to submit that directly. It's a small feature that Resolve would benefit by having imo.

If they send in xdcamHD 50 or avc intra 100 it'll be ready for us to check and send to playback as soon as the file transfer is done. If they are transcoding it themselves, or expecting us to do it that can cost another 2-3 minutes minimum. Thsg time makes a big difference sometimes.

We accept basically anything though, the current thorn in my side is HDR video from phones. I have an ffmpeg command to make them rec709 but they still look awful and we are really only using phone footage when time is an issue.
