Your markers do the dull jobs.

CutSync is a plug-in for DaVinci Resolve that turns the markers on your timeline into the things you'd otherwise type out by hand. Drop markers as you edit, then export YouTube chapters that follow YouTube's rules, show notes, a CSV shot list or subtitles. Send a client a review page with a thumbnail, timecode and note for every marker, which they can tick off and reply to from their phone. And queue several timelines to render in one go, with a render preset you've already saved.

Three tabs, three jobs

Chapters and lists

YouTube chapters, show notes, a CSV shot list and SRT subtitles from your markers. Anything YouTube would reject is listed under Check these.

Client report

One web page with a card per marker: thumbnail, timecode and note. Your client ticks notes off, types replies and copies them back into an email.

Batch render

Pick timelines and a render preset from the Deliver page, and add them all to the render queue. Anything Resolve refuses is listed with the reason.

Use the colour boxes to include only some marker colours: red for client notes and blue for chapters, for example.

What you'll need

Resolve: DaVinci Resolve Studio 18 or later, or the free version of Resolve 18 up to 21.0. From 21.1, Blackmagic only lets Studio run scripts.
Windows: 10 or 11, with Python 3 (64-bit) installed for all users. The installer helps you set it up.
Trial: Everything works without a licence. Exports and reports carry a trial mark, and batch render takes three timelines at a time.

Coming soon

CutSync is in testing now. Leave your email and we'll tell you the day it's ready.
