How to install the FilmScribe Plugin in DaVinci Resolve Studio

Updated

Short answer

Quit DaVinci Resolve Studio, open the FilmScribe Plugin .pkg installer and allow it in System Settings, Privacy & Security, because during the closed beta the installer is not signed by Apple yet. Then open DaVinci again and choose Workspace, Workflow Integrations, FilmScribe.

Available on Agency Closed beta

Before you start

You need a Mac with DaVinci Resolve Studio installed (the paid version: the free version of DaVinci does not open integration plugins) and an account on Agency. The plugin is in closed beta: the installer is not on the site or in the app, and beta members get the file from our support team. Its screens follow your account's language: pt-BR, English or Español.

Step by step

  1. Step 1: Quit DaVinci Resolve

    Quit DaVinci Resolve Studio before you install. It only looks for new plugins when it opens.

  2. Step 2: Open the installer and allow it in macOS

    Double-click the FilmScribe Plugin .pkg file. Since the beta installer is not signed by Apple yet, macOS says it can't open it. Open System Settings, go to Privacy & Security, scroll to Security and click Open Anyway. Confirm with your Mac password.

  3. Step 3: Follow the installer to the end

    Click Continue and Install. The installer puts the plugin in DaVinci Resolve's integrations folder and uses a file from your own DaVinci Resolve Studio. Without DaVinci Resolve Studio installed, the installation doesn't finish.

  4. Step 4: Open the plugin in DaVinci

    Open DaVinci Resolve Studio and a project. In the Workspace menu, choose Workflow Integrations and then FilmScribe. The plugin opens in a dark window, with the Connect button and the version at the bottom.

Frequently asked questions

Does the plugin work in the free DaVinci Resolve?

No. The plugin uses the integrations of DaVinci Resolve Studio, the paid version. The free version of DaVinci does not open plugins like this one.

Does the plugin work on Windows?

Not yet. During the closed beta the plugin works only on a Mac, with DaVinci Resolve Studio.

Why does macOS block the installer?

During the closed beta the installer is not signed by Apple yet, so macOS asks you to allow it in System Settings, Privacy & Security. You only do this once, when you install.

FilmScribe doesn't show up in Workflow Integrations. What do I do?

Quit DaVinci Resolve Studio and open it again: it only reads plugins when it opens. If it still doesn't show up, check that you have DaVinci Resolve Studio and run the installer again.

Where is the plugin installed?

In DaVinci Resolve's integrations folder: Library, Application Support, Blackmagic Design, DaVinci Resolve, Workflow Integration Plugins, in the com.filmscribe.painel folder.
