What's an MCP server and how do you use it in Resolve?

44:13So I definitely will have to play with that with Resolve Studio, which I do have a copy of. Go ahead, Craig. Yeah, I was just going to say, just from a cost standpoint, you know, paying more than $20 when you think about an app, $20 a month or a hundred, that's crazy. If you think about the value, you know, as I was talking

44:34about, what is this time? 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? And 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?

45:03And 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 because they're experimenting. thing. 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

45:33things with it, that's worth a lot more than, you know, and you don't have to necessarily stay at the high level. You 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. Let me bump it down. Guy? Yeah, just to come back in, because I see we're lying on questions,

45:51I 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. So all these acronyms, soups, and I just threw it at Cloud. I said, what could you do with this? And it was like, here, I'll build out what he put up on GitHub.

46:11And I was like, oh, it's just 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. And pretty soon it was like, pop.

46:29And I just see the video playing in the cloud. And I'm like, what the heck? Okay, let's go to the next level. So the next level, next level. Next thing you know, I'm like, hey, what's going on with NMOS and BitFocus buttons? What could you do with that? And the next thing you know, I've got my stream deck with the network controlling a cloud instance, MXL with NMOS support.

46:49I'm like, this is bananas. And it goes, hey, you're the first person in the world to do this. It was like, this was just released a few days ago. You just downloaded it and you hooked all this stuff together, NMOS, MXL. I was like, okay, this is superpowers. So when you say $200 a month, it's like, yeah, but what could you do with it?

47:08And how am I going to monetize this? I'm not sure. I mean, I'm like, hey, could I build something that competes with Grass Valley that, you know, cost a quarter million bucks? You know, is it a Cayenne switcher, you know, built out of my spare bedroom? You know, it's just, but again, it's superpowers. When I had Grockbots build me an app for the app store and it actually put it up there, I was like, okay,

47:29again, superpowers. So to me, it's like, I see in the chat that, was it Tim McCullough's like, I'm here to support authentic intelligence. Me too. Yeah. This teacher was joking. He calls it AI, actual intelligence. But I'm like, I have no clue. Somebody asked the other day, what did you use to write this in? I'm like, hold on, let me check GitHub.

47:50Because I didn't know if it was Python or HTML or JavaScript or what language. All I did was just type to cloud and say, hey, I want video over here. And I want a button and I want my stream deck to control this thing. And it works. So AI can be helpful to make you realize your dreams or even float above them because there's some stuff that it's come up with that I was like, I didn't do that.

48:13So yeah, it's amazing. I'm trying to wrap my brain around the fact that we've gone from zero to 100 in like three seconds, like just a few years ago. None of this stuff existed. I'm just trying to understand how we got to this point. I've never seen this kind of rapid acceleration with this, like just technology that's completely unprecedented. It's just changing the way we work. It's changing the way we think. It's changing everything. Some for the better, some for the worse too. Certainly, you know, that's always the concern. Low level jobs, repeated task type jobs are going away. Yes, that's going to happen. It is happening now.
