How do you select a render range in the timeline?

Explanation:
Defining the exact portion you want to export is done by setting In and Out points that specify the render range, and the Deliver page is where those points are used to control what gets encoded. Marking an In point at the start of the desired segment and an Out point at the end on the Deliver page tells Resolve to render only that portion, rather than the entire timeline. This is the clear, explicit way to communicate your export boundaries to the render engine. To do it, move the playhead to your start frame and press the In button (or the I key), then move to the end frame and press the Out button (or the O key). The selected range will be highlighted for the deliver/export process, and you can then proceed with rendering or adding to the render queue. The Range tool on the Color Page is used for selecting a portion of the clip to adjust color grading, not for exporting a render range. While you can set In/Out at the Edit page, the deliver/export process specifically uses the In/Out points defined on the Deliver page to determine what gets rendered. Simply clicking render without defining a range would typically export the full timeline or the full clip, not the chosen segment.
