How are you integrating AI with DaVinci Resolve for automated clip generation?

Using Claude with new MCP support in Resolve to build automated highlight reels from full episodes; AI analyzes transcripts and automatically creates clips with subtitles, graphics, and backgrounds without manual intervention.

From the transcript.
Machine-transcribed, so it may contain errors. Every timestamp opens the episode at that second.
41:52To see the agentic stuff where it just takes over your computer, like 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 result. Yeah, so I was doing some really cool stuff with that.
42:11And you would be amazed. I could probably pull it up if there's another question, but basically I had it building the week in office hours. So to see it take off and like build stuff in Resolve faster than a human could, 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 down because it sucked down all of the YouTubes, all the shows.
42:37And 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 is in Mukana, if people said highlight or clip, we could then take the or hearted the question.
43:05So 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 this in after hours.
43:22It 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. I mean, it's amazing what you could do with Resolve and a nice Claude Max account.
43:51but you could do some really fun stuff. I am definitely going to, I've tried Codex a little bit, but 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 conceptually I understand it, but I've actually never used one.
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
