✨ This Script Turns Timeline Markers Into Batch Exports in Resolve

Quick share because this ended up being way more useful than I expected.

I’ve built a small DaVinci Resolve script that lets you batch export clips from a single timeline using markers. You drop a marker at the start of each section you want to export, name the marker what you want the file to be called, run the script, and Resolve automatically builds the entire render queue for you.

Each marker becomes its own render job. The marker name becomes the filename. Exports follow whatever Deliver preset you choose, including the output folder. If marker names repeat, it auto-numbers them. And each clip ends one frame before the next marker, so nothing bleeds into the next export.

This was inspired by a video from

@Ethan Robbins

, who is also a member here. He built a much more advanced version with a full UI, more options, and extra controls. It’s seriously impressive and worth checking out if you want something deeper and more customizable.

I’ll link Ethan’s video below, along with his script, if you want to grab that version.

I also posted a walkthrough video below so you can see my script running in real time, from markers on the timeline to a filled render queue in one click.

I’ve added the script to the Classroom as well. You can find it anytime in the Tools and Resources section and download it whenever you need it.

Huge shout-out to Ethan for the inspiration here. This is one of those small workflow things that ends up saving a surprising amount of time.

If you try it, let me know how you’re using it or what you’d want it to do next.
