How to automate a script after opening a project?

PostThu Oct 10, 2024 10:46 am

I want my Lua script to launch automatically after opening a project, or when the main Resolve window is opened. Is it possible?

You could use an external script to start resolve, open a project and do your thing. AFAIK external scripting only works with the Studio version.

Davinci Resolve Studio 20.0 Build 49
Windows 10 Pro 22H2
Davinci Resolve Studio 19.1.4 Build 11
Linux Ubuntu Studio 24.04 (Rocky 8.6 Container)

Is there really no way of doing it inside Resolve ? I just asked a similar question yesterday.

The only 'automatic' script running I've seen in Resolve is after a Render.

Best approach is to create a Fuse.

I wouldn't be surprised if it can kick it in just after the project is open and perform a list of actions. Lots of work involved, I wouldn't bother doing it unless it something that would save me lots of time.
