Apply reads your current Resolve timeline, writes the speaker-based camera cuts to a new timeline XML and sends it back. The original stays untouched.

Switch the editor in SmoothyApp and the same tools target DaVinci Resolve. Sends go through a local Scripts connector and a saved file, with a confirmation from Resolve before Smoothy reports success.
Silence removal
Trim quiet stretches across every exported track and send a new, frame-aligned Resolve timeline. Your source timeline keeps its edits.
ExploreLocal captions
Read the loaded timeline or a matching media file, then send the SRT to Resolve’s Media Pool and drag it onto a subtitle track.
ExploreGraphics and media
Import rendered PNGs, stock footage and library music into the Media Pool. Place them on your timeline in Resolve.
ExploreShorts markers
Send Studio marker suggestions to the loaded Resolve timeline. Existing markers are preserved, and a collision stops the action.
ExploreStudio and caption sources
Use the loaded Resolve timeline’s audio as the source for captions or Studio, with known trims, offsets and microphone channels.

Choose Resolve and install the helpers
Select DaVinci Resolve Free in SmoothyApp’s editor switcher. Open Multicam or Silence Removal and click Install Resolve helpers once in the Resolve section.
Start Smoothy Connector
In Resolve, open Workspace → Scripts → Smoothy Connector once per session. It waits for local requests in the background; no external server or scripting port is used.
Send, or load the current timeline
Apply in Multicam or Silence Removal, or send from Captions, Assets, AI Photos, Stock Footage or Audio Library. Confirm the new timeline or Media Pool item in Resolve.
The connector can be started from Resolve’s Scripts menu. A Console command remains available as a one-shot fallback if the menu has not refreshed.

Cuts and timing.
Not your finishing.
The generated timeline focuses on the edit Smoothy makes. Copy the parts that affect sync and leave the look you built in Resolve where it belongs.
- Clip cuts, source timing and selected microphone channels
- Audio kept continuous through camera changes
- Subtitles and media imported into the Media Pool
Before you exportA little preparation
A little preparation
goes a long way.
Decompose nested and multicam clips, then remove retiming, transitions and animated effects before running a tool. The XML carries editable cuts rather than Resolve’s internal effects.
Grades, transforms, Fusion and clip effects, fades, automation and mixer processing are not copied. Review the imported timeline and rebuild the look in Resolve.
Manual fallback stays available.
If Resolve refuses an API action, Smoothy keeps the saved file and shows where it is. Import it with File → Import and continue.

The manual path.
Through Smoothy Connector
One click in SmoothyApp sends the request. Resolve imports the timeline, media or subtitle and Smoothy waits for the native receipt before reporting success.
With Resolve’s import menu
Every action saves a real file first. Import the XML, PNG, MP4, MP3 or SRT manually at any time, including when the connector is not running.
No project overwrite
Original timelines and media are not replaced. Smoothy creates a new timeline or adds items to the Media Pool, so you can compare and undo.
A few useful answersBefore your
Before your
next edit.
Does SmoothyApp work with DaVinci Resolve Free?
Yes. SmoothyApp uses Resolve’s built-in scripting through a local helper, so the free version works. You do not need a Resolve Studio licence, a plugin purchase or an external scripting connection.
Do I need to install a plugin or extension?
No. SmoothyApp installs its Lua Scripts helpers into your Resolve Scripts/Utility folder when you click Install Resolve helpers. Start Smoothy Connector once per Resolve session from Workspace → Scripts, and sends and timeline loads run automatically.
Does it work on Linux?
Yes — Resolve is the supported editor on Linux, with the full workflow: multicam, silence removal, captions, media imports and Shorts markers. The helpers install into Resolve’s Scripts/Utility folder under ~/.local/share/DaVinciResolve. The Premiere panel is not installed on Linux because Premiere Pro does not run there.
Which SmoothyApp tools work with Resolve?
Automatic multicam, silence removal, local captions and SRT import, Assets PNG imports, AI Photos results, Stock Footage and Audio Library imports, Shorts markers, and reading a Resolve timeline as a captions or Studio source.
Does it change my original Resolve timeline?
No. Multicam and Silence Removal build a new timeline XML and send that as a separate timeline. Media imports add items to the Media Pool. Your source timeline and media stay as they were.
What is not copied from my Resolve timeline?
The generated XML copies source timing, selected microphone channels and clip cuts. It does not carry grades, transforms, Fusion or clip effects, fades, automation, transitions or mixer processing. Decompose nested and multicam clips and remove retiming and animated effects before exporting.
Do I need to load the timeline before every action?
No. Multicam Apply and Silence Removal read the current timeline automatically. To send markers or use the timeline as a captions or Studio source, load it in SmoothyApp first, then refresh it there after you change it in Resolve.
Do I need to restart Resolve or SmoothyApp?
Start Smoothy Connector once per Resolve session. Restarting SmoothyApp does not require restarting Resolve; the app reconnects to the running connector. If you closed Resolve, start the connector again after reopening it.
What happens if Resolve refuses an import?
Smoothy keeps the saved XML, PNG, MP4 or SRT and shows its location. Use Resolve’s File → Import → Timeline, Import → Media or Import → Subtitle to bring the file in manually. The manual path stays available for every tool.
