Resolve Plugin
DaVinci Resolve workflow guide for importing timeline context, generating media, and preparing plugin updates.
Where To Download
Use the public Resolve plugin page or Downloads page on the promotional website. Plugin publishing is separate from the Cloud Run app deploy.
Authentication
- The plugin uses the central PR0TA auth flow, including Google and Apple login when enabled for the account.
- OAuth handoff uses a plugin callback and code exchange so live bearer tokens are not placed directly in the browser redirect.
- If login fails, retry from the plugin and confirm the browser completed the PR0TA sign-in flow.
Core Workflow
- Open the plugin inside Resolve and sign in.
- Select the target PR0TA project.
- Send source context, timeline frames, or timeline ranges into PR0TA.
- Generate images, videos, or transitions using the same backend project context as the web app.
- Download or import approved results back into Resolve.
Transition Generation
Transition workflows use source A and source B frames or clips. Confirm the selected timeline range and source start before running a transition, especially when the relevant frames are not at the beginning of a source clip.
Updates
The practical update flow prepares a platform-specific archive or installer in the user's downloads area and reveals it for installation. Hosts still need restart or plugin reload behavior according to Resolve's extension model.
Controls and Functions
| Control | Function | Expected Result |
|---|---|---|
| Sign in | Starts PR0TA account authentication from Resolve. | Plugin receives a valid session through the PR0TA handoff. |
| Project selector | Chooses which PR0TA project receives timeline context and generated outputs. | Requests use the selected project metadata and storage. |
| Timeline/source import | Sends clip, frame, or timeline context into PR0TA. | PR0TA can use source material for generation or transition work. |
| Generate image/video/transition | Dispatches PR0TA generation from Resolve context. | Outputs are created in PR0TA and made available for download/import. |
| Download/import | Brings generated media back into the Resolve workflow. | Approved assets appear in the expected Resolve bin or destination. |
| Prepare update | Downloads and reveals the latest plugin package. | User completes installation according to platform instructions. |
