Resolve Studio Control
01 / INSPECT
Preflight the room
Check timeline duration, video and audio content, online media, frame rate, resolution, render selection and output capacity before work begins.

Make the cut.
Keep control.
A typed, auditable MCP control plane for DaVinci Resolve. Direct studio workflows from natural language while backups, timeline revisions and delivery QC stay in the loop.

A studio loop, encoded
From prompt to delivery without losing the edit.
Every consequential step returns structured state so Codex can reason about the cut instead of blindly clicking through Resolve.
02 / PROTECT
Version the decision
Export a non-overwriting DRP backup, duplicate the source timeline and keep all edits on an explicit revision.
03 / DELIVER
QC the master
Render through Resolve, then independently verify codecs, streams, dimensions, frame rate, duration, size and optional checksums.
Trust is a feature
Local by design. Explicit by default.
The bridge never needs inbound network access to Resolve and never sends the shared token over the socket.

◈
Signed loopback transport
HMAC-SHA256, freshness windows and one-use nonces keep bridge requests authenticated and replay-safe.
◈
Allowlisted file access
Media and outputs stay inside canonical roots; symlink escapes and unsafe overwrites are rejected.
◈
Traceable edits
Every operation carries a request ID and private audit record, including destructive-action preparation and execution.
Release status
Published where the architecture is honest.
The local marketplace, public source, release artifacts and support surface are live. The Resolve bridge itself stays private by design.

Codex marketplace
Installable from the public GitHub catalog as resolve-studio-control@codex-resolve.

Release and docs
Version 0.2.1 packages, Pages site, privacy, terms, support and reviewer tests are published.
NEXT / 03
Hosted MCP companion
Official directory submission needs a public production MCP endpoint; the current control path intentionally remains loopback-only.
