Introduction

TimeBolt can take a raw video file and generate a super accurate, fully-jumpcut timeline in a matter of seconds. You can then take this timeline and import it directly into Davinci Resolve via XML while preserving all of the cuts made.

TimeBolt also has a Davinci Resolve Extension which you can use for more complex projects but for single media files with single or multi-track audio, XML Export is by far the fast way to jump from TimeBolt into Davinci Resolve.

The usage of XML for Davinci Resolve is platform agnostic. The same steps for Windows will work on MacOS and vice-versa.
