Description

ShotlistCreator for DaVinci Resolve Studio

Generate clean, production-ready shotlists from timeline markers in just a few clicks. Export Excel reports with thumbnails, marker data, and clip metadata for editorial, review, and client delivery.

Key Features

  • Marker-to-Excel export with thumbnail stills.
  • Flexible metadata column selection and drag-and-drop ordering.
  • Presets: save/load custom layouts and keep your default column setup.
  • Optional TrackDetails sheet for deeper per-track diagnostics.
  • Advanced mode for strict track targeting when needed.
  • API-based marker processing for stable and consistent exports.

Quick Start

  1. Open DaVinci Resolve Studio and your timeline.
  2. Add markers where needed.
  3. Launch ShotlistCreator and choose your export options.
  4. Select output folder and export.

Additional Tips

  2. The exported file is optimized for size, making it easy to convert to PDF or upload to Google Sheets.
  3. This script works only with the Studio version of DaVinci Resolve.

Compatibility

DaVinci Resolve Studio on macOS and Windows.
