What it does
Resolve Media Analysis is an agent skill from samuelgursky/davinci-resolve-mcp. Media intelligence layer for the DaVinci Resolve MCP. Uses FFprobe, FFmpeg, and optionally Whisper to READ and ANALYZE source media — never modify, transcode, convert, or create derivatives. Provides the MCP with full context of what footage actually is so it can take informed actions within Resolve.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Media & Creative, covering MCP servers, Speech recognition and synthesis and Video production. It works with FFmpeg and Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: MCP server integration for DaVinci Resolve Studio. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve MCP servers
- Tasks that involve Speech recognition and synthesis
- Tasks that involve Video production
Example prompts
- “/resolve-media-analysis”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- From media pool clips: media_pool_item -> get_clip_property(clip_id) returns "File Path"
- From timeline items: timeline_item -> get_media_pool_item(item_id) -> then get clip properties
- From media storage: media_storage -> get_files(path) lists files in a directory
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 94c7a88. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Resolve Media Analysis loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 525 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Resolve Media Analysis
This skill wraps the project's canonical media analysis guide with Claude Code-specific integration.
Read docs/guides/media-analysis-guide.md for the complete guide. Everything below is Claude Code-specific context.
The First Rule
Never touch the source. Your relationship to source media is READ-ONLY. See docs/guides/media-analysis-guide.md section "The First Rule: Never Touch the Source" for the full rationale from every post-production department.
What this build cannot do (check before you offer it)
The scripting API changes per patch release, so "Resolve 21" is not a usable
label. Read resolve_control get_version → build.unavailable_on_this_build
before offering a gated surface; check_version_support asks about one named
symbol. Gated in this domain — note all of it is Resolve's own analysis,
not this repo's:
| Surface | Needs | If absent |
|---|---|---|
MediaPoolItem / Folder.AnalyzeForIntellisearch | 21.0 | No IntelliSearch index |
Project.ResetIntellisearchAnalysis | 21.0 | The index cannot be cleared from a script |
MediaPoolItem / Folder.AnalyzeForSlate | 21.0 | No automatic slate detection |
MediaPoolItem / Folder.PerformAudioClassification / ClearAudioClassification | 21.0 | No Resolve-side audio classification |
MediaPoolItem / Folder.RemoveMotionBlur | 21.0 | Unavailable |
Project.GenerateSpeech | 21.0 | No AI speech generation |
This repo's own analysis stack does not depend on any of them. analyze_media
reads frames and audio off disk and runs its own vision/transcription/embedding
tiers, so an older Resolve loses Resolve's AI features, not this pipeline. Say
which one the user is actually missing.
An empty unavailable_on_this_build means nothing recorded is missing, not
that everything exists — most of the API has never been version-bisected. A
symbol with no gate returns unknown, which means probe it. Probe with
name in dir(obj), never bare hasattr: on a Resolve object hasattr returns
True for every name, real or invented, so it can only say yes.
MCP Integration
When using the DaVinci Resolve MCP tools alongside media analysis:
Getting File Paths from Resolve
- From media pool clips:
media_pool_item->get_clip_property(clip_id)returns"File Path" - From timeline items:
timeline_item->get_media_pool_item(item_id)-> then get clip properties - From media storage:
media_storage->get_files(path)lists files in a directory
Show full SKILL.md (215 more words)Show less
Workflow: Analyze Before Acting
- Identify the media — Use MCP to get clip IDs and file paths
- Check for existing analysis — Look for sidecar JSON files
- Analyze if needed — Run FFprobe (+ optional tools) on the files
- Act with context — Use MCP tools with full knowledge of what the media is
Analysis informs Resolve actions. At no point do we create intermediate files that enter the media pipeline.
Deliverables from a transcript
generate_captions(clip_ref, format='srt'|'vtt', with_chapters=?)— caption blocks under broadcast rules: line-length and lines-per-block caps, max and min block duration, breaks at sentence ends then pauses then clauses, timings snapped to spoken words, a minimum inter-block gap, no single-word orphan. Never drops a word to make text fit — it refuses instead.assess_grade— numeric grade-damage QC on a decoded frame. See the color-grade skill; it is exposed here because it lives beside the other frame analysis.image_qc_capabilitiesreports numpy/ffmpeg availability and the cost tiers.
Setup
On first use, ask the user the three setup questions documented in the guide:
- Where to save analysis files (alongside / directory / project)
- Tool detection (FFprobe required, FFmpeg/Whisper optional)
- Analysis depth (quick / standard / deep)
