ChatGPT + DaVinci Resolve Changed How I Edit (Full Setup)

I want to hear how you actually edit: https://calendly.com/diepdigitalmedia-4upt/45-min-ai-editing-chat Free step-by-step setup guide: https://arc4.kit.com/402d484f73 I hooked ChatGPT's Codex app up to DaVinci Resolve through an MCP server and let it build a first pass of this video. Not a finished edit. No zooms, no graphics, no text animations. Just a clean string-out where it picks the cuts on its own. You get the whole setup on camera, every step, and the parts it got wrong when I checked its work. WHAT YOU NEED ChatGPT Plus, $20 a month. That is the minimum plan this runs on. DaVinci Resolve Studio, the paid version. The MCP repo documents a workaround for the free version, but I have not tested it, so you would be figuring that one out yourself. LINKS DaVinci Resolve MCP server by Samuel Gursky: https://github.com/samuelgursky/davinci-resolve-mcp Superpowers plugin: it installs inside Codex. Click your name at the bottom left, go to Settings, then Plugins, search "superpowers" and enable it. Make sure brainstorming is turned on.
