Editing video with AI prompts in DaVinci Resolve (Greg Isenberg)

A 46-second vertical animation made for Greg Isenberg's account, with a cartoon mascot and no people on screen. Verdict: hype as a demo. It's an animated mock-up, not a screen recording: no real DaVinci Resolve interface is shown and it doesn't explain how the model connects to the editor, so nothing here proves it works. The prompts are still fine to try; beginner level, no coding as portrayed.

Try this

  1. Ask the model to find images and cut them to the beat ('Find 80 images, show 8 every second, and cut it to this track'). 0:15
  2. Ask for a named look in plain words ('Give this footage a warm, cinematic golden-hour look'). 0:31
  3. Ask it to fix exposure or oversaturated skin tones. 0:43
