Proxy Presets
Yaml codec presets would allows us to set up different settings for different purposes. Like h264 for a project we can send over the internet? Or high quality archival of select takes. We could also do this with Resolve's individual clip export from the delivery page, but to achieve distributed encoding, you'd still need more licenses. That might be of interest to others.
It also means we can preconfigure some ideal default settings that work for different users as good starting points. We can add comments to explain anything unintiutive necessities in the ffmpeg settings, say a ProRes preset for Mac users, DNxHD preset for Windows, h.264/5 for archival (a lot of fiddly settings we can disambiguate).
