Overview

As with Blackmagic Design Fusion scripts, user scripts written in Lua and Python programming languages are supported. By default, scripts can be invoked from the Console window in the Fusion page, or via command line. This permission can be changed in Resolve Preferences, to be only from Console, or to be invoked from the local network. Please be aware of the security implications when allowing scripting access from outside of the Resolve application.

Prerequisites

DaVinci Resolve scripting requires one of the following to be installed (for all users):

• Lua 5.1

• Python 2.7 64-bit

• Python 3.6 64-bit

Using a script

DaVinci Resolve needs to be running for a script to be invoked.

For a Resolve script to be executed from an external folder, the script needs to know of the API location. You may need to set the these environment variables to allow for your Python installation to pick up the appropriate dependencies as shown below:

• Mac OS X: RESOLVE_SCRIPT_API=”/Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/Developer/Scripting” RESOLVE_SCRIPT_LIB=”/Applications/DaVinci Resolve/DaVinci Resolve.app/Contents/Libraries/Fusion/fusionscript.so” PYTHONPATH=”$PYTHONPATH:$RESOLVE_SCRIPT_API/Modules/”

• Windows: RESOLVE_SCRIPT_API=”%PROGRAMDATA%Blackmagic DesignDaVinci ResolveSupportDeveloperScripting” RESOLVE_SCRIPT_LIB=”C:Program FilesBlackmagic DesignDaVinci Resolvefusionscript.dll” PYTHONPATH=”%PYTHONPATH%;%RESOLVE_SCRIPT_API%Modules"

• Linux: RESOLVE_SCRIPT_API=”/opt/resolve/Developer/Scripting” RESOLVE_SCRIPT_LIB=”/opt/resolve/libs/Fusion/fusionscript.so” PYTHONPATH=”$PYTHONPATH:$RESOLVE_SCRIPT_API/Modules/” (Note: For standard ISO Linux installations, the path above may need to be modified to refer to /home/resolve instead of /opt/resolve)

As with Fusion scripts, Resolve scripts can also be invoked via the menu and the Console.

On startup, DaVinci Resolve scans the subfolders in the directories shown below and enumerates the scripts found in the Workspace application menu under Scripts. Place your script under Utility to be listed in all pages, under Comp or Tool to be available in the Fusion page or under folders for individual pages (Edit, Color or Deliver). Scripts under Deliver are additionally listed under render jobs. Placing your script here and invoking it from the menu is the easiest way to use scripts.

• Mac OS X:

  • All users: /Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/Fusion/Scripts

  • Specific user: /Users/<UserName>/Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/Fusion/Scripts

• Windows:

  • All users: %PROGRAMDATA%Blackmagic DesignDaVinci ResolveFusionScripts

  • Specific user: %APPDATA%RoamingBlackmagic DesignDaVinci ResolveSupportFusionScripts

• Linux:

  • All users: /opt/resolve/Fusion/Scripts (or /home/resolve/Fusion/Scripts/ depending on installation)

  • Specific user: $HOME/.local/share/DaVinciResolve/Fusion/Scripts

The interactive Console window allows for an easy way to execute simple scripting commands, to query or modify properties, and to test scripts. The console accepts commands in Python 2.7, Python 3.6 and Lua and evaluates and executes them immediately. For more information on how to use the Console, please refer to the DaVinci Resolve User Manual.

This example Python script creates a simple project:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import DaVinciResolveScript as dvr_script
resolve = dvr_script.scriptapp("Resolve")
fusion = resolve.Fusion()
projectManager = resolve.GetProjectManager()
projectManager.CreateProject("Hello World")

The resolve object is the fundamental starting point for scripting via Resolve. As a native object, it can be inspected for further scriptable properties - using table iteration and “getmetatable” in Lua and dir, help etc in Python (among other methods). A notable scriptable object above is fusion - it allows access to all existing Fusion scripting functionality.

Running DaVinci Resolve in headless mode

DaVinci Resolve can be launched in a headless mode without the user interface using the -nogui command line option. When DaVinci Resolve is launched using this option, the user interface is disabled. However, the various scripting APIs will continue to work as expected.

• This class does not provide any API functions but the object type is used by functions in other classes.

List and Dict Data Structures

Beside primitive data types, Resolve’s Python API mainly uses list and dict data structures.

Lists are denoted by [ … ] and dicts are denoted by { … } above.

As Lua does not support list and dict data structures, the Lua API implements “list” as a table with indices

• e.g. { [1] = listValue1, [2] = listValue2, … }.

Similarly the Lua API implements “dict” as a table with the dictionary key as first element

• e.g. { [dictKey1] = dictValue1, [dictKey2] = dictValue2, … }.

Looking up Project and Clip properties

This section covers additional notes for the functions “Project:GetSetting”, “Project:SetSetting”, “Timeline:GetSetting”, “Timeline:SetSetting”, “MediaPoolItem:GetClipProperty” and “MediaPoolItem:SetClipProperty”. These functions are used to get and set properties otherwise available to the user through the Project Settings and the Clip Attributes dialogs.

The functions follow a key-value pair format, where each property is identified by a key (the settingName or propertyName parameter) and possesses a value (typically a text value). Keys and values are designed to be easily correlated with parameter names and values in the Resolve UI. Explicitly enumerated values for some parameters are listed below.

Some properties may be read only - these include intrinsic clip properties like date created or sample rate, and properties that can be disabled in specific application contexts (e.g. custom colorspaces in an ACES workflow, or output sizing parameters when behavior is set to match timeline)

Getting values: Invoke “Project:GetSetting”, “Timeline:GetSetting” or “MediaPoolItem:GetClipProperty” with the appropriate property key. To get a snapshot of all queryable properties (keys and values), you can call “Project:GetSetting”, “Timeline:GetSetting” or “MediaPoolItem:GetClipProperty” without parameters (or with a NoneType or a blank property key). Using specific keys to query individual properties will be faster. Note that getting a property using an invalid key will return a trivial result.

Setting values: Invoke “Project:SetSetting”, “Timeline:SetSetting” or “MediaPoolItem:SetClipProperty” with the appropriate property key and a valid value. When setting a parameter, please check the return value to ensure the success of the operation. You can troubleshoot the validity of keys and values by setting the desired result from the UI and checking property snapshots before and after the change.

The following Project properties have specifically enumerated values: “superScale” - the property value is an enumerated integer between 0 and 3 with these meanings: 0=Auto, 1=no scaling, and 2, 3 and 4 represent the Super Scale multipliers 2x, 3x and 4x. Affects: • x = Project:GetSetting(‘superScale’) and Project:SetSetting(‘superScale’, x)

“timelineFrameRate” - the property value is one of the frame rates available to the user in project settings under “Timeline frame rate” option. Drop Frame can be configured for supported frame rates

by appending the frame rate with “DF”, e.g. “29.97 DF” will enable drop frame and “29.97” will disable drop frame

Affects: • x = Project:GetSetting(‘timelineFrameRate’) and Project:SetSetting(‘timelineFrameRate’, x)

The following Clip properties have specifically enumerated values: “superScale” - the property value is an enumerated integer between 1 and 3 with these meanings: 1=no scaling, and 2, 3 and 4 represent the Super Scale multipliers 2x, 3x and 4x. Affects: • x = MediaPoolItem:GetClipProperty(‘Super Scale’) and MediaPoolItem:SetClipProperty(‘Super Scale’, x)

  • 0 (int) - will set quality to automatic

  • [1 -> MAX] (int) - will set input bit rate

  • [“Least”, “Low”, “Medium”, “High”, “Best”] (String) - will set input quality level

• “AudioCodec”: string (example: “aac”)
