What it does
Conforming, relinking, and finishing prep in the DaVinci Resolve MCP. Apply when importing/relinking editorial, checking a conform against a reference, repairing reversed/retimed subclips, tracing grades across a re-conform, building relink plans, or QCing a conformed timeline frame-by-frame, live in a running Resolve OR offline against .drt/.drp files and the project DB. Routes to the live conform tools, the offline conform QC engine, and the online-editor craft skill.
Resolve Conform / Interchange
Bridges online-editing / finishing craft to this repo's tools.
- Craft / finishing, the global
online-editorskill (conform, relink, finishing philosophy in Resolve and Flame). Use for how a finishing editor thinks, not tool mechanics. - Live tool mechanics,
docs/kernels/timeline-conform-interchange-kernel.md(thetimelineconform/interchange boundary). - Offline conform engine,
resolve-advanced/README.md→conform,color_trace,offline_ref,editorial,drt,project_db.
No Resolve? The work does not have to stop
timeline author_offline writes an importable timeline (drt / otio / edl) from a
file-path clip plan without any connection, and every not-connected error now carries an
offline_alternative block pointing at it.
Say plainly what happened: the live operation failed and a file was written, the
timeline is not in a project until someone imports it. Read the warnings back too.
media_tc_origin_assumed is the one that matters: OTIO source frames are
timecode-absolute, and an event without media_start_tc_frame imports as an empty
timeline with no error at all.
Default to drt (Resolve-native, project version 17 / Resolve 21.0, older builds need
drt downgrade). Pick otio when the plan carries retimes; a .drt flattens them.
