An XDA writer describes connecting Claude to DaVinci Resolve through MCP to organize clips, color-code a timeline and remove silent sections. In this personal case, silence removal that took about 20 minutes reportedly took around 20 seconds; this is not a standardized benchmark. Access to timelines and transcripts did not provide adequate understanding of important silent visuals such as navigating menus or waiting for an app to load, so useful footage could be removed. Detailed instructions and frame checks add time and token costs. The practical role is repetitive cleanup followed by human review of pacing and meaning.
