DaVinci Resolve Discord RPC

Display your DaVinci Resolve editing activity on Discord with rich presence integration!

This is a Modified version of the original DaVinci Resolve Discord RPC project, designed to provide real-time updates of your video editing work on Discord.

The Original Main.py doesn't actually work on Linux, so this version has been modified to fix the issues and provide a seamless experience.

Don't forget to update the Client ID in `Main.py` before using autostart functionality.

This version works both in the Linux Terminal and the Python Scripting Engine of DaVinci Resolve.

The Linux Path for the DaVinci Resolve Scripting API is usually now: $HOME/.local/share/DaVinciResolve/Fusion/Scripts/Utility

Place both files into that Folder, then run Davinci Resolve, Next click on "Workspace" and then "Scripts" and then "Main".

The DiscordRPC will also now Flush and clear the status when you close DaVinci Resolve, so you don't have to worry about it being stuck in your Discord status.

Don't forget to add these lines to your .bashrc or .profile
---

# DaVinci Resolve Python Scripting API
export RESOLVE_SCRIPT_API="/opt/resolve/Developer/Scripting"
export RESOLVE_SCRIPT_LIB="/opt/resolve/libs/Fusion/fusionscript.so"
export PYTHONPATH="$PYTHONPATH:$RESOLVE_SCRIPT_API/Modules/"

Hope this helps! :)

This project enables Discord Rich Presence (RPC) integration with DaVinci Resolve, allowing you to showcase your video editing work as your Discord status. It uses the DaVinci Resolve Python scripting API to fetch project information and displays it on your Discord profile in real-time.

• Display current DaVinci Resolve project name on Discord
• Show product information (DaVinci Resolve vs Studio)
• Real-time status updates
• Cross-platform support (Windows, macOS, Linux)
• Seamless Discord integration

• Python 3.6+ (64-bit)
• DaVinci Resolve (with scripting support enabled)
• Discord (running and signed in)
• Python Packages:
  • pypresence - Discord RPC client
  • pygetwindow - Window management
  • psutil - Process monitoring

pip install pygetwindow pypresence psutil

DaVinci Resolve scripting requires the proper environment setup:

Windows:

RESOLVE_SCRIPT_API=%PROGRAMDATA%\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Support\Developer\Scripting
PYTHONPATH=%PYTHONPATH%;%RESOLVE_SCRIPT_API%\Modules\

macOS:

RESOLVE_SCRIPT_API="/Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/Developer/Scripting"
PYTHONPATH="$PYTHONPATH:$RESOLVE_SCRIPT_API/Modules/"

Linux:

RESOLVE_SCRIPT_API="/opt/resolve/Developer/Scripting"
PYTHONPATH="$PYTHONPATH:$RESOLVE_SCRIPT_API/Modules/"

1. Go to Discord Developer Portal
2. Click "New Application" and give it a name
3. Copy your Client ID
4. In the sidebar, go to "Rich Presence" → "Art Assets"
5. Add images if desired
6. Keep the Developer Portal open for later

Open Main.py and replace the empty clientid variable with your Discord Application Client ID:

clientid = "YOUR_CLIENT_ID_HERE"  # Replace with your Discord Application Client ID

Important: If you plan to use autostart, update the Client ID in Main.py before copying the files to the DaVinci Resolve scripts directory.

For the script to automatically launch when DaVinci Resolve starts, place the files in DaVinci Resolve's scripts directory:

Windows:

Copy Main.py and RPC.scriptlib to:
C:\Users\<YourUsername>\AppData\Roaming\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Fusion\Scripts\Utility\

macOS:

Copy Main.py and RPC.scriptlib to:
~/Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/Fusion/Scripts/Utility/

Linux:

Copy Main.py and RPC.scriptlib to:
~/.Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/Fusion/Scripts/Utility/

Once placed, the script will:

1. Automatically launch when you open DaVinci Resolve
2. Connect to the DaVinci Resolve instance
3. Authenticate with Discord
4. Display your editing activity on your Discord profile
5. Continuously update your status as you work

Alternatively, run the script manually from the command line:

python Main.py

Press Ctrl+C in the terminal to stop the RPC connection (when running manually).

1. DaVinci Resolve Connection: Uses the official DaVinci Resolve Python scripting API to access project information
2. Process Monitoring: Checks if DaVinci Resolve is running using process monitoring
3. Discord RPC: Sends updates to Discord using the PyPresence library
4. Real-time Updates: Continuously fetches and pushes status information

• Main.py - Main application script
• RPC.scriptlib - Supporting library files
• API Documention.txt - DaVinci Resolve API documentation reference

• Ensure DaVinci Resolve is running
• Check that scripting is enabled in Resolve preferences
• Verify Python path environment variables are set correctly

• Confirm you're signed into Discord
• Check that the Client ID is correct in Main.py
• Verify the Discord application has Rich Presence enabled
• Restart Discord and the Python script

• Reinstall dependencies: pip install --upgrade pygetwindow pypresence psutil
• Ensure PYTHONPATH includes the DaVinci Resolve modules

• ✅ Windows
• ✅ macOS
• ✅ Linux

• DaVinci Resolve must be running while the script executes
• An active Discord connection is required
• The script requires sufficient permissions to access DaVinci Resolve API
• For autostart functionality, ensure all Python dependencies are installed before placing files in the DaVinci Resolve scripts directory
• The Discord app must be running on your system for RPC to work
• See API Documention.txt for more information about the DaVinci Resolve scripting API
