Dev finishes days of freelance video editing in 30 min with Codex + free DaVinci Resolve
alexcovo_eth · x · 2026-09-15
- The author used OpenAI Codex/Astra with the free DaVinci Resolve 19 to complete days' worth of freelance video editing in about 30 minutes, bartering the work for a Pollen Robotics Reachy Mini robot.
- The workflow is open-sourced as davinci-agent on GitHub: reusable Codex editing skills for DaVinci Resolve 19.1 Free (macOS), covering interviews, podcasts, tutorials, screen recordings, social clips, product videos and live performances, plus ElevenLabs narration and a worked live-band example.
- Caveats from the repo: these are agent instructions plus small helper scripts—no MCP server, no Studio unlock; tested on Resolve 19.1.4.11 Free, with other genres as adaptable guidance.
