Your New Python Besties – GitHub Copilot + ChatGPT

In this Insight, learn to use GitHub Copilot, a machine-learning coding assistant. With its help, you’ll write a script for turning Resolve timeline markers into a VTT subtitles file for use as chapter markers. And while you can do this easily within Resolve, writing this code is an excellent test of our skills.

In this example, we are forced to run test prints and figure out how the Resolve API names functions and metadata for timeline frame rates, markers, and marker elements while using our machine-learning Copilot to do things like covert frame numbers into timecode based on the frame rate. We make mistakes along the way, but Copilot helps solve those errors and writes some tricky code to get us to a valid VTT file.
