Body: <p>I need to cut a video in Resolve 18 and export it. The video is already in the format and encoding I want it to have, I just need to cut out  some parts. After that, I want the file to be saved. Quality is not a priority here, speed is! So I want to simply write the cut file back to an mp4-file within a matter of a few minutes on my 2016 macbook pro (i5). The clip is a simple Zoom-recording in a mp4-container.</p>
  <p>Whatever I try to do in the Deliver page, Resolve always starts re-encoding the file, taking 1-2 hours for a clip. How to simply export/write out the cut clip?</p>
