SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

DaVinci Resolve Studio can be powerful but repetitive when you need consistent timeline assembly, color looks, and multi-format delivery across many projects or clips.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Scriptable project automation: Use the Resolve Scripting API (Python or Lua) to ingest media, build timelines, apply grades/presets, place markers, and dispatch render jobs without manual clicks.
  • Node-based creative pipeline control: Coordinate Cut/Edit (assembly), Color (node-graph grading and LUT/PowerGrade application), Fusion (compositing via scripting entry points), and Fairlight (audio tasks) as a single operational workflow.
  • Repeatable delivery at scale: Queue renders with preset names and render settings for common output targets such as vertical, square, and horizontal formats.

Scope Examples

  • Bootstrapping new brand projects from a JSON spec, including resolution/frame rate/color science.
  • Building a timeline from a folder of clips, optionally deriving bins and marker locations from sidecar transcript JSON.
  • Applying a house PowerGrade (.drx) consistently across timeline items, then rendering a multi-preset delivery batch and returning render/job status for tracking.

Quick Start

Use the davinci_resolve skill to load a running DaVinci Resolve project, ingest a folder of clips, assemble a timeline, apply the Lyfe Spectrum grade to the timeline items, and start unattended rendering to your target output presets.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate timeline assembly and color grading in DaVinci Resolve?▼

Automate timeline assembly and color grading in DaVinci Resolve by using the Resolve Scripting API to batch ingest media, apply PowerGrade or LUT files, and dispatch render jobs without manual clicks.

Can I build a DaVinci Resolve timeline automatically from a folder of clips?▼

Yes, you can build a DaVinci Resolve timeline from a folder of clips by using scripting to automate media ingestion, derive bins, and place markers based on sidecar transcript JSON files.

Does DaVinci Resolve scripting support applying a PowerGrade to multiple timeline items?▼

Yes, DaVinci Resolve scripting supports applying a house PowerGrade (.drx) consistently across multiple timeline items to automate repetitive color grading tasks across various clips.

Do I need DaVinci Resolve Studio to use the scripting API for render automation?▼

Yes, you need DaVinci Resolve Studio 19.1+ with the scripting API available, an open current project handle, and the Studio-only API surface to access Fusion and Neural features.

What is the best way to batch render multiple video formats from a single DaVinci Resolve project?▼

The best way to batch render multiple video formats is using scripting to queue renders with preset names and render settings for vertical, square, and horizontal targets, returning render job status.

Why does my DaVinci Resolve script fail when accessing Fusion compositing hooks?▼

Fusion compositing hooks fail when the script cannot access the Studio-only API surface, which requires DaVinci Resolve Studio 19.1+ and a correctly initialized open current project handle.
