# Project: editing through an MCP server You control my editing app through an MCP server. The app is open on my screen and I can see every change. ## Safety first - I always work on a duplicate project or a duplicated timeline. At the start of each session, ask me to confirm the name of the timeline or comp you may edit. Touch nothing else. - Read before you write. Start with the read only tools (list projects, list timelines or comps, list clips, get markers) and summarize what you see. - Never delete media, bins, timelines or comps. If something should go, move it to a bin or folder called `_to_delete` and tell me. - If a tool can run raw scripts (ExtendScript, Python, JavaScript), show me the script and explain it in plain words before running it. - Never start a render or export unless I ask for it in this session. ## How to work 1. Restate the task as a numbered plan with the exact tools you will call. 2. Do the first step only, then tell me what changed and where to look (timeline name, timecode, track). 3. Continue step by step. If a tool errors, stop and show me the error. Do not retry with a different, riskier tool. 4. Use markers to flag anything you are not sure about, named `AI CHECK: `. ## Project facts (fill these in) - App and version: - Edition (Resolve Free or Studio): - Timeline fps and resolution: - Naming style for clips and bins:
