ComfyUI Export for DaVinci Resolve

Export ComfyUI videos in formats DaVinci Resolve (including the free version) can actually import: DNxHR and ProRes in a .mov container, with audio.

DaVinci Resolve Free has limited or literally no support for the H.264/H.265 .mp4 files ComfyUI normally saves:

1. Linux: none H.264/H.265 decoding at all, and no AAC audio.

2. Windows: partial support. It depends on the codec profile and on what your operating system provides (for example, H.265/HEVC often won't import without an OS-level decoder, and 10-bit and some other profiles are Studio-only).

The result is clips that fail to import or import with missing video or audio. These nodes avoid the problem: generate in ComfyUI, then drop a Resolve-friendly .mov straight into your timeline, with no manual conversion step.

Exact codec support varies by Resolve version and platform. See Blackmagic's documentation for the current list.

Features

• Two nodes: one for ComfyUI VIDEO objects, one for raw IMAGE batches (with optional AUDIO)

• 7 presets: DNxHR (HQ, HQX 10-bit, SQ, LB) and ProRes 422 (HQ, Standard, LT)

• Audio included as uncompressed PCM

• Correct colors: converted to BT.709 limited range and tagged, so Resolve reads them properly

• True 10-bit path for HQX and ProRes (16-bit frames are fed to the encoder)

• Saves to any subfolder of your ComfyUI output directory

• Progress bar, cancel support, and automatic cleanup of partial files if something fails

• Returns the saved file path, so you can preview or chain it into other nodes

Requirements

A recent version of ComfyUI. That's it.

No separate FFmpeg install is needed. The nodes encode with PyAV, which ComfyUI already uses for its own video nodes and which includes its own FFmpeg libraries.

Installation

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/UCHIJ/ComfyUI-ResolveVideoExport.git

or install with Comfy CLI

comfy node install comfyui-davinci-resolve-export

You can also download the Archive ComfyUI-ResolveVideoExport.zip then manually move the ComfyUI-ResolveVideoExport folder to your custom_nodes directory.

No matter what you choose remember to restart ComfyUI.

Usage

Both nodes are in the Export category. Double-click the canvas and search for "DaVinci Resolve".

Exporting an existing video

Use Export Video for DaVinci Resolve (from VIDEO).

1. Add a Load Video node and choose your clip

2. Connect its VIDEO output to the exporter's video input

3. Pick a codec_preset

4. Run the workflow

5. Find your file in ComfyUI/output/video/ (or the folder you set in filename_prefix)

An example workflow is included: workflow-example-export-for-resolve.json](workflow-example-export-for-resolve.json). Drag it onto the ComfyUI canvas, select a video in the Load Video node, and run it. A **Preview Any** node on the output shows you the saved file path.

Exporting generated images (with optional audio)

Use Export Video for DaVinci Resolve (from IMAGES)

1. Connect your IMAGE batch (for example from a VAE Decode node)

2. Set fps to match your generation (decimals like 23.976 work)

3. Optionally connect an AUDIO source

4. Pick a codec_preset and run

Importing into DaVinci Resolve

Drag the .mov file from your output folder into Resolve's **Media Pool**, or use **File → Import → Media**.
