This is AHK Script, designed to fix the lack of configuration in otherwise good video editor, Davinci Resolve v16. Here is the short Demo what happens after you install this Script and when you press Alt+Ctrl+S:
By default, Resolve opens up the Retime Frame, which is not useful at all. People on the blackmagic forum have raised the Feature Request for v17, but instead of waiting for possible changes, let's act and achieve auto preselection of Retime Speed now!
Update December 2020: In v17 Beta 4 still no support.
- Monitor with 100% scaling
- tested on 125% too, it worked. That's because Resolve doesn't honor the Windows scaling.
- Windows PC
You just have to unzip the script from bin folder (with images folder inside) to some location and run ahk-resolve-retime-speed.exe. The script will stay in the Windows Tray, listening for hotkey within Davinci Resolve.
Hint: Put the shortcut inside your Win+R → shell:startup → OK location for starting with Windows.
Note: in case you are using .exe directly, unblock it:
Just select the video track, Press the Alt+Ctrl+S hotkey and see the magic.
You need AutoHotkey, it's a Script App that lets you run .ahk files and compile them within Windows Context Menu into .exe
Also you can use Pulover's Macro Creator, it's the same Script, but in different format.
- Added Davinci Resolve 17 support
- Added two pixel search of the selected Video clip (to avoid timeline cursor match)
- Renamed resolve-*** to ahk-resolve-*** in order to kill Resolve in Task Manager faster
- Added tolerance to image search
- Removed some image dependencies
Add more debugging in case images folder is not present
Initial release.
- Of course it can be buggy and there is a room for improvement
- Zooms in automatically in case the dropdown is not in the view
- Reactivates Retime Speed automatically after closing the Retime Curve
- Note: May not work in case of Zoom, Pitch or other were already selected before
- Changing the default 300% speed to 4000% is the next feature that I'm thinking about, because I change it all the time. Let's see if I have energy to change that, otherwise, PR are welcome.
