Resolve Automator

Five timeline tools in one window: rename, stills, marker clips, overlays and batch export.

A multi-tool automation suite with preview-first actions for repetitive timeline renaming, marker screenshots, media insertion, track overlays, and batch exports.

What it does for you

Timeline Renamer: duplicate or rename many timelines with find and replace.
Marker Screenshots: export a still at every marker, named after the marker.
Marker Insert: drop a whoosh, title, graphic or video at every marker on its own track.
Track Overlay: put an adjustment clip, graphic or sound over every shot, cut for cut.
Batch Export: queue many timelines with one render preset.
All five tools are also available separately.

Requirements

DaVinci Resolve Studio 19.1 or newer (the free version of Resolve blocks script windows).
Windows 10/11 and macOS 12+ (Apple Silicon and Intel). One file works on both.
Install: copy the .lua file into Resolve's Scripts/Utility folder, then open it from Workspace > Scripts.
Tested in DaVinci Resolve Studio 21 on Windows 11. The script also runs on macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon). If anything does not work on your Mac, please report it on GitHub or by email.
