In this Day-11 DaVinci Resolve on iPad video, I’m talking about the most common reason your exports look “wrong” even when your edit looks perfect on the timeline. A lot of people just hit Quick Export or pick random settings, and then the file comes out with bad quality, weird colors, wrong resolution, or the size becomes unnecessarily huge. So I walk you through the export mindset first—what you’re exporting for (YouTube, Reels, client delivery), and why that decides your format, codec, bitrate, and resolution. I also break down the setup process I personally follow before exporting: matching timeline resolution and frame rate, choosing the right render settings, and keeping things simple so your iPad doesn’t struggle. The takeaway is: your export is not a “last step”—it’s part of your workflow. If your DaVinci iPad exports are not sharp or not matching what you edited, fix the project settings + deliver page choices first, and you’ll get consistent results every time.
