YouTube Chapter Exporter

Turn Resolve timeline markers into a ready-to-paste YouTube chapter list.

Choose marker names or notes, preview timestamped chapters, and save a plain-text chapter list without manually converting frame positions.

What it does for you

  • Turns your chapter markers into a YouTube-ready chapter list.
  • Filter by marker colour so your own notes stay out.
  • Adds the 0:00 intro line YouTube needs and saves a .txt file.

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.
