Awesome DaVinci Resolve Awesome

A curated list of awesome DaVinci Resolve plugins, tools, and resources.

Community-curated by /r/colorists and /r/davinciresolve.

Contents

AI & Automation Tools

AI-powered tools for automating editing, captions, and footage search.

  • AutoCut Paid — Automates captions, adds zooms, B-roll matching, removes silences/repetitions. Auto-edits podcasts.
  • BadWords Free — Basically its a free local text based editor that lives right inside Davinci. Free alternative to AutoCut but with a bit of different of other features, 100% local and free How it works: u drop your raw video on a timeline and open BadWords. You choose audio lang, whisper model (bigger = better) and you can even add your custom filler words, then your audio gets shown as text in GUI and you can edit it then edits you made on text will be mapped on timeline. I think the coolest part is u can paste your written script into the app and it will compare it with what you actually said in recording and highlight exactly where you messed up repeated a line or went off script. It also finds all the awkward pauses (silence) automatically (by Szymon Wolarz) Windows, Linux
  • BadWords Free — An open-source DaVinci Resolve plugin that automates the tedious rough-cutting of podcasts and dialogue-heavy videos. Powered by 100% local, offline AI, it transcribes audio to automatically detect silences, retakes, and filler words. Instead of manually scrubbing through hours of footage, you simply review the text transcript. With one click, BadWords auto-assembles a brand new, clean timeline directly inside Resolve, saving you massive amounts of editing time. (by veritus) macOS, Windows, Linux
