The video at the top records the night video editor David Shutt handed ChatGPT a job and went to sleep. He wanted a client's old Shorts republished with new hooks, intros, and logos. The next morning, the app showed "Worked for 4h 11m 51s" along with a report that 1,168 Shorts had been edited and saved. "it would have taken me a few days anyway," he said.
When Blackmagic Design added AI assistant connections to DaVinci Resolve 21.1 on September 8, a post on Reddit's video editing board titled "So Claude can now edit videos and I’m having a bit of a panic attack" drew more than 300 comments.
Working through this connection, the AI doesn't click around Resolve's interface. It turns the request from the chat into Resolve scripts and runs them. That makes it especially good at jobs that repeat the same steps hundreds of times.
