DaVinci Resolve Computer Use Training

Use this skill for lesson-by-lesson Resolve practice and for improving Resolve skills from observed UI behavior.

Automation Priority

Default to DaVinci Resolve's supported scripting and preset systems before UI automation:

1. Use the official Resolve Python/Lua scripting API for project setup, media import, timeline construction, markers, render queue work, preset import/export, and verification.
2. Use installed Workspace scripts, render presets, burn-in presets, layout presets, Fusion macros/templates, PowerGrades/LUTs, and reusable project templates for batteries-included repeatability.
3. Use Computer Use for UI homework, screenshot evidence, manual HITL validation, and controls the scripting API cannot expose.
4. Use external tools such as ffprobe, ffmpeg, Whisper/Gemini, Rust/Python edit planners, and audio/video analyzers around Resolve; materialize final decisions back into editable Resolve timelines.

Before any lesson or production edit, run or emulate scripts/resolve_doctor.py to confirm process state, scripting paths, Resolve version, current project/timeline, current page, database, and timeline start frame.

Use bin/resolve-kit for repeatable local execution:
