Setting Up for One-Click Export to DaVinci Resolve
Step 1: Open Eddie
• Launch the Eddie desktop application on your Mac or Windows.
• Complete your video edit within Eddie. You can use any footage, but for this guide, we are using an interview as an example.
Step 2: Prepare to Export
• Once your edit is ready, click on the ‘Export’ button.
• Choose ‘Resolve’ from the export options. This action prompts you to install a necessary script.
You need a connection between Eddie and Resolve. Resolve calls this a "script". Eddie can automatically install it for you or you can install it yourself.
Here is the download link for the script.
Place the script here:
Mac OS X:
/Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/Fusion/Scripts/Utility
Windows:
%PROGRAMDATA%\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Fusion\Scripts\Utility
Step 3: Install the Eddie Script in DaVinci Resolve
• Open DaVinci Resolve on your computer.
• Navigate to ‘Workspace’ > ‘Scripts’ > ‘Eddie’.
• This script acts like a plugin and establishes a bridge between Eddie and DaVinci Resolve.
Step 4: Export Your Edit
• After setting up the script, return to Eddie and proceed with the export.
• Click the designated export button in Eddie to send your edit directly to DaVinci Resolve.
Step 5: Verify the Import in DaVinci Resolve
• Switch to DaVinci Resolve and check the imported project.
• You should see the timeline and edit exactly as arranged in Eddie, including any titles or specific edits made.
• The file path preserved during the export ensures that your media links correctly without additional relinking required.
Benefits of One-Click Export
• Efficiency: Streamlines the workflow by eliminating the need to manually handle XML files.
• Accuracy: Maintains the integrity of your edit, ensuring that all elements from Eddie are precisely reflected in DaVinci Resolve.
• Speed: Reduces the time between editing and final output, allowing for quicker revisions and finalization.
