Part 5: Getting started connecting Python to DaVinci Resolve

Welcome back to our series on Python scripting. In Part 4, we created a checksum utility for our data management tool. In this Insight, we will move away from external media management operations and start connecting our knowledge of Python to a DaVinci Resolve-specific context.

We create a script that duplicates the current timeline in Resolve. While this may sound basic, we will explore many fundamental concepts, such as identifying which functions can be invoked in the DaVinci Resolve API and how to identify variable parameters, such as the timeline name.
