Hello,

I have started to script resolve in python. Well there is not too much information available.
So I found out many thinks but some simple questions are still here:

Can some please tell how to move (and readout) the playhead position via python 3 script?

So when you know this you probably know also how to zoom in/out via python?

And possibly you also know how I can open the "Cut" page via script.
Well I know it for all other pages e.g. for media:

import DaVinciResolveScript as resolveScriptHandler
resolve=resolveScriptHandler.scriptapp("Resolve")
resolve.OpenPage("media")

resolve.OpenPage("cut") # this will not work

Many thanks guys.

Would be nice to get some help. Thanks.

You must set your environment variables first

Code: Select all

RESOLVE_SCRIPT_API="C:\\ProgramData\\Blackmagic Design\\DaVinci Resolve\\Support\\Developer\\Scripting\\"
RESOLVE_SCRIPT_LIB="C:\\Program Files\\Blackmagic Design\\DaVinci Resolve\\fusionscript.dll"
PYTHONPATH="${PYTHONPATH};${RESOLVE_SCRIPT_API}\\Modules\\"


Then use something like this:

Code: Select all

import DaVinciResolveScript as dvr_script

resolve = dvr_script.scriptapp("Resolve")
resolve.OpenPage('edit')

As for placing the playhead at a certain location, I don't think that is possible. The api is very limited

Many thanks for the answer.

Well in principle scripting is working.
So environment is OK. Even selecting a page works e.g. switching to "media" or "deliver" page. Only exception is switching to "cut" page. As this is the latest one maybe an bug in scripting lib.

Well I still hope there is way to move the head although you maybe right that scripting is very limited.

BMD anyone?

From the docs it looks like the 'cut' page is not available for some reason :/

Switches to indicated page in DaVinci Resolve. Input can be one of (“media”, “edit”, “fusion”, “color”, “fairlight”, “deliver”).
