Marker Insert

Drop the same clip at every marker: a whoosh, a title, a graphic or a video.

Choose a Media Pool clip and a marker colour. The clip is placed at every matching marker on a brand-new track, so your existing tracks are never touched.

What it does for you

  • Place a sound effect, title, graphic or video at every marker.
  • A frame offset lets the clip land a few frames before or after each marker.
  • Always uses a new track, so your edit stays as it is.

Requirements

  • DaVinci Resolve Studio 19.1 or newer (the free version of Resolve blocks script windows).
  • Windows 10/11 and macOS 12+ (Apple Silicon and Intel). One file works on both.
  • Install: copy the .lua file into Resolve's Scripts/Utility folder, then open it from Workspace > Scripts.
  • Tested in DaVinci Resolve Studio 21 on Windows 11. The script also runs on macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon); if anything does not work on your Mac, email support and you get a fix or a refund.

Important notes

-

Audio goes to a new audio track, video and graphics to a new video track.

-

A negative offset places the clip earlier, for example to let a whoosh lead into the cut.
