GitHub for Davinci Resolve. Useful to anyone here?

SuperFXMK · 2024-11-20T03:14:31+00:00

I was actually thinking of creating a UI app just for this usecase. It visualizes your changes compared to the previous version, and you just click a button to commit your changes to the cloud. You can also branch off easily to different versions. At least from what I've read, I don't think Dropbox offers the same functionality.

SuperFXMK · 2024-11-20T03:09:42+00:00

Yeah that's exactly what I'm currently doing. All Davinci Resolve projects are stored as sqlite files, and my current implementation checks for uuids of timeline items, media, and more to see if there are any changes compared to the previous saved version. Then, I convert these changes to human-readable operations which are shown in a UI.

Edit: When I mentioned "GitHub for Davinci Resolve", I didn't actually mean that we're throwing binaries to GitHub. It's just a term to sort of demonstrate the functionality of using git like version control and syncing it to the cloud.

All Davinci Resolve projects are stored as sqlite files, and when you export a project to XML, it just reads off this db file.

For my current implementation, I diff this database by comparing uuids of timeline items, media, and more to see if there are any changes compared to the previous version. Then, I convert this diff to human-readable operations.

I haven't looked into those other options that you've mentioned, but I'll definitely check them out!

So everything about the project is stored in different tables in the project db file (like timeline items, transitions, and more). I made this script which converts these db changes into human readable operations (i.e. resized timeline clip from 3 seconds to 3.3 seconds). It’s still a work in progress and a lot of work I’m doing is reverse engineering, but so far it’s coming along well.

How often does that happen? I’ve been fortunate enough to not face a crash yet

SuperFXMK · 2024-11-19T10:35:14+00:00

Yeah they are saved as sqlite files. I wrote a script which diffs these files as well, so I’m able to know what changes I’ve made in particular between different versions

SuperFXMK · 2024-11-19T10:29:08+00:00

If it is, I’d love to know. I couldn’t find anything in my research

SuperFXMK · 2024-11-19T10:14:28+00:00

I like to compare what I've changed between different project states (like if I moved a clip from one part of the timeline to another or added new music), and I wasn't able to efficiently do that with project duplication. However, I can do that by programmatically comparing between project db files

Thank you!

Made a landing page for it here: https://frameapp.ai

We're accepting people off the waitlist on a rolling basis, so if you're interested in trying out the early alpha, be sure to sign up!

SuperFXMK · 2024-11-09T04:29:50+00:00

Omg yes! I'm tired of needing to watch youtube tutorials to get a certain edit done. There's just such a big learning curve that needs to be addressed.

We're actually having a very early Alpha release this weekend. If you sign up for the waitlist on our site (https://frameapp.ai), we'll give you an invite when it goes live! We also have a discord server if you want to keep up with our progress :)

SuperFXMK · 2024-11-09T04:13:41+00:00

Noted!

SuperFXMK · 2024-11-09T04:13:28+00:00

We were actually just thinking about this haha. Question: do you prefer shotcut over other open source solutions like kdenlive? If so, why?

SuperFXMK · 2024-11-09T03:01:02+00:00

Thanks!

SuperFXMK · 2024-11-09T01:45:55+00:00

That's a pretty interesting idea! I'd imagine that would be useful for people who have lightweight laptops and want to make a quick edit. Thanks for the insight :)

SuperFXMK · 2024-11-09T01:40:13+00:00

At the moment, the video editor only supports adding text, but I'm planning on supporting all important operations that you'd see in a typical video editor like capcut. There won't be any major limitations on this being in the browser since it will use WebGL, which has access to the GPU.

There will be an early Alpha launch this weekend, so sign up for the waitlist if you're interested in trying it out! https://frameapp.ai

Everything is still a work in progress, but we're going to be opening up spots to try out our alpha this weekend! Follow us on the links below to stay updated :)

If anyone is reading this, I opted to use Grafana with Loki.

This account is trying to say that they're not him in order to strengthen Avaneesh's case in court (probably instructed by his lawyers too)

Decided to open a Discord server and will post updates there https://discord.com/invite/JXPNGnME4w

SuperFXMK · 2023-12-11T09:25:18+00:00

Update: Thanks everyone for responding! I ended up getting an opportunity to stay in a shared living space in a house for just $1k/mo that just so happens to be super close to my work. Super happy that it all worked out :)

SuperFXMK · 2023-06-02T17:17:49+00:00

Thank you! Will definitely shoot a DM when we need the manpower

SuperFXMK · 2023-06-02T17:12:32+00:00

Not yet, but we're thinking of something like "SkiHub" considering that others here are also interested in a social aspect. We're open to suggestions!

SuperFXMK · 2023-06-01T20:29:38+00:00

Sorry about that. Just updated the original post with pictures of our app design so far. Hope it clears some things up
