How has AI enabled rapid clip generation and highlight creation for Office Hours content?
ASKED BY · Unknown · 19 SEP 2026 · ▶ 00:42:16
Claude with MCP support in DaVinci Resolve automatically built week's highlight clips with subtitles from YouTube ingestion and word-based analysis; generates styled clips with dates/titles hands-off, though current system doesn't detect tone/emotion yet.

41:56Like when I was working on a Resolve project earlier this week, asking it to create a moments, the best moment. it doesn't know what the best moments of office hours were for the last week but it made its best they just added mcp support in the new yes i was doing i was doing some really cool stuff with that and you would be amazed i could probably pull it up if there's another question but basically i had
42:16it building the week in office hours so to see it take off and like build stuff and resolve faster than a human could it was like it was like a gatling gun of clips because it actually put all the subtitles too and i was just sitting there watching it just with my jaw just you know down because it sucked down all of the YouTubes,
42:37all the shows, and then it did all the analyzation of the words. So it's going by words. Unlike Opus, where it knows the rate and tone of speech, so it uses that as an indicator, mine's kind of dumb right now. It doesn't know, like, is Chris smiling? Is he laughing? So that's the next thing is how do we... Well, actually, one idea that Claude came up with
42:59is in Mukana, if people said, highlight or clip, we could then take the or hearted the question. So three different ways that we could actually get a highlight reel for the week. So if you were on a shoot or I know Craig was on vacation this last week and you missed a week of office hours, what were some of the things to get you caught up fast? And I know that Leo Mindell and those guys used to do
43:22this in after hours and it was kind of fun, but I'm like with AI, this was completely hands-off. Like I didn't touch a dang thing and it just took off and built last week, the week before and the week before. And it just made all these awesome videos with like a cool blue background with the title of the episode, the date, the question.
43:45I mean, it was it's amazing what you could do with Resolve and a nice Claude Max account. It just you could you could do some really fun stuff. I am definitely going to I've tried codex a little bit but not I haven't used the app on the computer and I definitely am interested in trying the whole MCP thing inside of I've actually never worked with any like honestly I just like recently discovered what an MCP server is and I conceptually I understand it but I've actually never used one so I definitely will have to play with that with resolve studio which I do have a copy of go ahead Craig.
44:20Yeah, I was just going to say, just from a cost standpoint, paying more than $20 when you think about an app, $20 a month or $100, that's crazy. If you think about the value, as I was talking about, what is your time worth? If it saves you 10% of your time, what's that worth? and if it creates apps for you that wouldn't have been possible before what are those worth
44:51and not that i want to give a lot of money to the ai companies but really think about the value you're getting out of it and not sort of historically what what are services worth and where does that put this this is a whole new category and so just value your time value the the things you're using it for. And yeah, some people are definitely overspending,
45:17because they're experimenting. But I also, I don't want to have somebody hold back from 20 to 60 or something, just because they, it seems like a lot of money. It, it may be, but if you lean on it and do some really cool things with it, that's worth a lot more than, And you don't have to necessarily stay at the high level.
45:40You can look at it each month and say, yeah, I'm good for a little bit. Or I'm going on vacation for three weeks. Bump it down. Guy? Yeah, just to come back in because I see we're lying on questions. I wanted to expand on one that gave me what I'd call superpowers. Because I would have never been able to understand what Jonas was talking about with MXL and DMF and this whole EBU thing with what was going on in IBC.
46:05So all these acronym soups, and I just threw it at cloud and said, what could you do with this? And it was like, here, I'll build out what he put up on GitHub. And I was like, oh, it's just two, it's just some, a clip player and color bars. I'm like, that's no fun. And so I was like, can I take my PTZ camera and integrate that? And it's like, sure, hold on, let me go into the API here and give me the admin for your camera and send up the feed.
