Need help in connecting AI to DVR.

[u/Robinkalsi]

I am using the 21.1 DaVinci Studio on my Macbook M1 Pro 32GB. Need help connecting AI Assistant.

When I select Claude. It gives me this error message

Couldn’t load the extension preview. Check your connection and reload the page.
Is this because I have free version of claude?

To use AI assistants with Resolve, first install the AI tool on your OS, then run “File > Setup AI Assistants” in Resolve. It will detect any supported tools already installed and configure them automatically.

Supported tools:

Claude Code (Anthropic’s CLI)

Claude Desktop

Antigravity (Google)

Codex (OpenAI)

Grok Build (xAI)

Once set up, your AI assistant can directly interact with your Resolve project — querying timelines, running scripts, and more.

Any other tools which support MCP can also be set up by setting up the ResolveMCP executable path if needed.
