Free DaVinci Resolve: AI now edits your videos like a pro

Of course, because we didn't have enough ways for technology to replace us. Now your AI agent can get its hands, or rather, its algorithms, on DaVinci Resolve. A developer, wassermanproductions, built a server to connect any AI agent to the video editing software.

This project, named unofficial-davinci-mcp and released under an Apache-2.0 license, is available on GitHub. It's like giving your artificial intelligence a super-powered remote control. It allows AI agents to manage DaVinci Resolve Studio's MCP (Mini Control Panel) server, automating tasks that usually demand hours of manual work.

Basically, your AI agent can tell DaVinci Resolve what to do, step by step. Think about cutting music to the beat, balancing colors, or even tightening dialogue to make it perfect. This happens via a server that translates AI commands into concrete actions within the program.

The most interesting part? It even works with the free version of DaVinci Resolve. This means you can use FCPXML and LUT functionalities, usually reserved for professionals, without spending a dime. For instance, it can perform reference color matching, making all your scenes look consistent, a nightmare for many videomakers.

It means your virtual assistant can handle all those incredibly tedious, repetitive operations. Imagine uploading a video and asking the AI to "tighten dialogue" or "mix audio for broadcast." This system also manages audio mixes for "broadcast loudness," which is crucial for TV or streaming work.

Not only that, it includes a local "push-to-talk voice bridge." This allows the AI to receive real-time voice commands, making interaction even smoother. Who would've thought your AI assistant would learn to cut videos better than you, freeing up your time for the creative stuff?
