DaVinci Resolve Script
A practical workflow script for DaVinci Resolve that shows exactly where a selected clip is used across your project.
It scans all timelines and separates video and audio occurrences, giving you a clear overview without digging through
timelines manually like some kind of post-production archaeologist.
What does the script do?
The script opens a clean report window directly from DaVinci Resolve and shows every occurrence of the selected
Media Pool clip across all timelines in the current project.
- Finds all uses of a selected clip across all timelines.
- Separates video and audio occurrences.
- Lets you filter the report with Show Video and Show Audio checkboxes.
- Shows timeline name, track type, track number, start/end timecode and frame positions.
- Displays useful clip metadata such as frame rate, resolution, codec, duration and audio information.
- Allows sorting by clicking the table headers.
- Can export the visible report as CSV.
- Can copy the visible report as plain text.
- Can open the original file location in Windows Explorer.
Installation on Windows
- Save the Python script as:
selected_clip_usage_window.py
- Place the file in DaVinci Resolve’s Utility Scripts folder:
C:\Users\YOUR_NAME\AppData\Roaming\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Support\Fusion\Scripts\Utility
- If the folder does not exist, create it manually.
- Restart DaVinci Resolve if the script does not appear immediately.
Tip: You can type %APPDATA% into Windows Explorer and then navigate to:
Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Support\Fusion\Scripts\Utility
How to use it
- Open your project in DaVinci Resolve.
- Go to the Media Pool.
- Select exactly one clip.
- Run the script from:
Workspace > Scripts > Utility > selected_clip_usage_window
- The report window opens and displays all found occurrences across the project timelines.
Video and audio filtering
A clip may be used both as picture and as sound. The script therefore includes two simple filters:
- Show Video displays occurrences on video tracks.
- Show Audio displays occurrences on audio tracks.
- Both can be enabled at the same time for a full overview.
