“Simple, repetitive tasks are fast as hell, but more complex work is still slow enough that you spend more time waiting and debugging than actually saving time”
Built a Claude chat for Resolve using samuelgursky's Resolve MCP server as his starting point. It was best at bulk jobs like flagging every clip shorter than 50 frames or splitting the media pool into timelines by file name, and slower than clicking for one off tasks

Uses ffmpeg-skill on talking head videos with a webcam or screen recording picture in picture, which also get reframed, captioned, loudness normalized and exported for a platform, and asked for that whole job to fit in one project file

Ideas to try
These are our ideas, not reports from real users. Know one?
- Ask the agent to check a timeline against the client's delivery spec before you render
- Have it make the 16:9, 9:16 and 1:1 versions from one master and name the files the way the client wants
