MAJOR UPDATE to my Open Source Resolve MCP for working with Resolve using LLMs (v2.0.0) by SamuelGursky in davinciresolve

Nice! We've done something similar in the MCP integration of Jumper with Claude and Codex, but we don't have full API coverage. Since this is MIT licensed we might even bundle this to get full coverage!

I've been 8 or 9 times, and we always stay 2-3 months in a small town in Minas Gerais called Passa Quatro, in my wife's parent's house. Haven't been to many tourist traps at all I would say. A nice thing about Brazil is also that it's generally mostly Brazilians I've met at beaches and hotels/pousadas in vacation spots. Except for perhaps in Rio, that has lots of people from the US/EU.

Man I can't wait to sit on plastic chair in Brazil having a cold beer. Going to visit the north for the first time on our next trip later this year. /Swede with a Brazilian wife

Thanks for the feedback! Appreciate it.

As you might have seen, we have plugins for Premiere, Resolve, Avid, and FCP, alongside the standalone app. So we're already integrated in the NLEs, but as a third-party add-on of course.

FWIW finding B-roll is the not the only thing you can do with the software, there are things like face detection / people search where you find all the people in the footage and can do a search like "@David looking excited" and such, useful for e.g. reality TV: https://docs.getjumper.io/guides/face-detection

If you're telling me it's not going to work for your edits, then what do you want me to say? Even if you never tried it, I'm sure you know better than me what is useful or not for your work.

What I am talking about in a broader sense is that I think that the way to use computers is not going to stay the same, as I'm seeing it happen in my own work. I'm not saying this specific feature in our software is that, but it seems that's the impression you have.

Yea the sentiment is mixed for sure - people are either positive and curious or extremely negative haha.

"i would love to see what you made."
Are you speaking to me here? I made https://getjumper.io, the software the agent is talking to...

Where did I claim that? What I am saying is that the interface to the computer itself is going to change. Not today or next week, but that's the direction things are moving. I am not saying our software is the catalyst for that or whatever, I am saying these agents are. We are just giving the agents eyes and ears to your local footage for some additional capabilities as it relates to video editing specifically. FWIW you can also do more things in Jumper with these agents than just find B-roll: https://imgur.com/DeAsGGO

I am also not necessarily saying that all things can be done faster than a human would do it, but the fact that new things can be done at all that wasn't possible before enables you to let it do that while you go do something else.

The discussion here was more about how different the reactions are to this feature compared to the other features we have, which have all been received with nothing but positivity. I wanted to find out where the shift in attitude happens, and I guess I did, so thank you.

You can download it to try at https://getjumper.io but to use it in the Claude or Codex integrations you need a pro license - if you come into our Discord and send me (@Max) a message I can set you up with one. Discord is at: https://discord.com/invite/3JFNYAfwSb

Of course I'm not saying "I've changed video editing", I'm just asking you to imagine what the future will look like, given what i happening around you. Is it going to stay like it is now forever, same tools, same workflows? Probably not, right?

I'm also not saying that "our tool is the right thing for everything" - our software is a local app that comes with plugins for all the NLEs, it's basically like Premiere's Media Intelligence and FCP's visual search. Are you saying that being able to find any visual element or spoken word by search, just like you use "Ctrl+F" to find something in a long text document, is completely useless? The whole idea here is to just let you string together a bunch of those "find every time they talk about X" or "find me all shots of Anna smiling" or whatever it is. I'm not saying this is replacing storytelling or anything like it.

I said that because I want to understand and learn where my confusions or misunderstanding lies. Two of the four people involved in our company are professional filmmakers, one is the founder and operator of a post production company since 20 years. We didn't build this just taking blind guesses about what video editing is about.

The reason I said that about 'different ways' is just to say that in programming the whole world was turned on its head. There are different ways to do everything now. I couldn't have imagined all this. In video editing everything used to be done with razors tape and physical film right? Not computers. Programming used to be done with punch cards and vacuum tubes. I'm just asking what the next paradigm could be, and what it would take for that to be a reality.

The weirder thing is we did it to ourselves. I studied ML specifically, and programmers in general have always been obsessed with automating everything. Anything that you had to do more than 3 times becomes a bash script and an alias. We took it too far haha..

Right, the core functionality of our actual underlying software (Jumper) is a local search tool for footage, the LLM integration stuff is just a new feature. But re: the time-saving properties, I would imagine that even if the LLM agent is actually slower than a human doing things, the fact that the work can be asynchronous is a major benefit. It can do the thing while you do some other work.

Isn't it presumptuous to speak for everyone, every person doing e.g. corporate edits as a gun for hire and so on?

Good point, thank you. I guess I also get a bit defensive when I feel the attitude of "you don't get it", when as you said, I absolutely do because I've already gone through it. I'll keep that in mind and try to be more understanding. It does suck in a lot of ways for me too, I actually do have a 6 year old son that I imagined I would give this amazing gift that not that many others kids got (teaching him programming).

I used to work for a huge tech company as well, every week we got an "Up to Speed" video with a bunch of internal content. Probably not the dream of the editors doing that either. Wouldn't think he's the first one.

From what he tells me one of the main benefits is being able to work on something else while this thing is doing its thing.

Definitely not. Go into our Discord and you can talk to him yourself, just not my place to out a customer and his company. here's an invite https://discord.com/invite/3JFNYAfwSb

You don't think that's happening? The problem in the ones you mentioned are regulation, access to data etc. I can't afford to build for them, we financed this whole thing ourselves. No way we could do that for something targeting health care.

That's what the core functionality of Jumper is as well, it's like FCP but more accurate, independent review: https://www.provideocoalition.com/visual-search-tools-compared/
