Agent-driven DaVinci Resolve editing: dev urges Blackmagic to fully open its API
joshwhiton · x · 2026-09-18
Josh Whiton demos using an agent to operate DaVinci Resolve: the agent handles complexity while he shoots and directs. He notes Blackmagic's API covers only 30% of Resolve's functions and urges full coverage, estimating it could cut editing time and cost by 95%. He argues precise agent editing preserves creative taste vs. 'video slop,' that only fear of cannibalizing control-surface hardware sales would hold Blackmagic back, and that he'd pay extra for a full MCP/API—warning someone else will fill the gap otherwise.
