Render on Delivery Page Ignoring my Codec Settings
My codec is set to H265 but as soon as I start to render it switches to H264! I looked around but cant see where the issue might be. Help? Screen shots of the delivery page. One showing the settings before render and 1 while rendering to show the codec ignoring my settings.

I notice under each clip it says H264 before I render.... does that have something to do with it? Why is it like that? My knowledge is very limited regarding resolve as I am very new to it.
It was doing this before the update. I also previously successfully rendered other videos with these exact settings.
It cant be because of the NVIDIA encoder in OBS I am recording with can it? It wasnt an issue before.
Try changing the encoder to native. I just tested and it delivered as HEVC for me
Interesting, even on auto for me it stayed as h265
are you actually getting H264 on the other end? It could just be defaulting your settings if you were to queue up another render, not reflecting the active encode
Yea. Good point. Check the file in media info
Yeah because it's making the CPU go to 100%. 265 uses GPU.
Unless you are on paid resolve, timeline still gets rendered on cpu during export
Open the exported file with either MediaInfo or something like VLC or MPC to validate what codec the file is using
I'm on free and it was rendering in 265 just fine.
Just now getting to a point in my day where I can sit down and give it some more time.
It was most definitely not using your GPU for encoding then - probably using it for rendering things like some effects, but not exporting
I was looking at it via the performance tab in task manager. When I use 264 it uses 100% of the CPU and when i use 265 it uses 100% of the GPU. Its why I went to 265. And I have rendered a handful of videos already in 265 using my GPU.
So with this video nothing changed but it wont stay in 256. I see it change to 264 when i start to render and I see my CPU usage increase instead of my GPU confirming it is 264 not 265.
Im going over it all again with fresh eyes now, and with the info you guys have recently provided. At this point I am sure it is something stupid ill facepalm over.
Free can use gpu encoding. Timeline render is done on cpu on free. And during export, the timeline is being rendered.
I used h265 as evident by my media info screenshot earlier. It still hits cpu during render because of timeline
Has always been that way on free because no hardware acceleration of timeline
Trust
Then what would cause GPU usage during render not CPU besides 265... because I have rendered at least 3 videos with these new setting and observed the GPU 100% usage while CPU had minimal usage.
Are you looking at what part of the gpu is used during those renders
The summary doesn’t give you anything useful to work with
