Davinci Resolve Advanced Importer

Tool for automatically syncing a directory to a DaVinci Resolve bin.

Why

Resolve is an amazing NLE but lacks a lot of the basic functionality and polish that can enable quick production. I created this to fix those gaps and speed up my YouTube workflow.

How to use:

  1. Set your Resolve External Scripting Setting setting to Local.
  2. Start Resolve and open a project (the importer works with the opened project).
  3. Start the importer.
  4. Pick a directory to sync.
  5. Pick a bin to sync that directory to.
  6. Click "Start Auto Importer".

For more detailed instructions, screenshots, and info on the advanced settings, read the How to Use Instructions Notion Page.

How to develop:

Test with ("npm i nodemon" first):

nodemon .\resolveAdvancedImporter.py --ignore *json

Create Windows exe with:

pyinstaller -F --noconsole --icon=resolveImporter.ico .\resolveAdvancedImporter.py && copy config.json dist\config.json && ren dist "Resolve Advanced Importer"

Create OSX app with:

pyinstaller -F --noconsole --icon=resolveImporter.ico ./resolveAdvancedImporter.py && cp config.json dist/resolveAdvancedImporter.app/Contents/MacOS/config.json && mv dist "Resolve Advanced Importer"
