Pygenesis ResolveExpert
Pygenesis ResolveExpert is a task-oriented assistant model for DaVinci Resolve workflows (Edit, Color, Fusion, Fairlight, Deliver), packaged for local inference as GGUF.
Model Overview
pygenesis-resolve-q4km.gguf is a quantized local-inference variant of a Resolve-focused fine-tuned model.
Main goals:
- Provide practical, step-by-step help for real editing and post-production tasks.
- Keep latency reasonable on desktop hardware.
- Run fully on-device with no cloud dependency.
Studio vs Free: Context Behavior
The model is the same in both editions.
The key difference is how runtime context is provided.
DaVinci Resolve Studio (Integrated Plugin)
In Studio, the Workflow Integration plugin can automatically read and pass context such as:
- Current Resolve page (
Media, Cut, Edit, Fusion, Color, Fairlight, Deliver)
- Current project and timeline names
- Basic timeline metadata
This usually improves relevance because answers are grounded in the user’s current working state.
DaVinci Resolve Free (Companion App)
Resolve Free does not support the Workflow Integration plugin, so usage is via Pygenesis Companion (external app).
In this mode, context is provided manually:
- User selects the active page
- User can optionally provide project/timeline names
The model quality is unchanged, but contextual precision depends on the information entered by the user.
Practical Summary
- Same model weights in Studio and Free.
- Studio: automatic context -> more situational responses.
- Free: manual context -> still useful responses, with lower contextual precision when input context is incomplete.
Recommended Use Cases
- Resolve workflow troubleshooting ("how do I do X in Color/Fusion/Edit?").
- Page-specific checklists ("what should I review here?").
- Export and performance best practices.
- Actionable next steps for practical post-production decisions.
Limitations
- Not a replacement for official Blackmagic documentation.
- Advanced workflows may still require iterative clarification.
- In Free mode, missing manual context can reduce specificity.
Prompting Tips
For best results, include:
- Current Resolve page.
- Clear goal ("match two shots", "export for YouTube 4K", etc.).
- Constraints (GPU, Resolve version, footage type, deadline).
Example:
"I am on the Color page. I have two shots with different exposure and need a fast matching workflow without damaging skin tones."
Installation & Usage
Pygenesis ResolveExpert is distributed as a packaged installer, not as a manual developer setup.
The installer handles:
- GPU detection and inference backend selection (CUDA, Vulkan, or CPU)
- Model download from this Hugging Face repository
- UI installation for your Resolve edition
After installation:
| Edition | How you use it |
|---|
| DaVinci Resolve Studio | Open the integrated plugin from Workspace → Workflow Integrations → Pygenesis Resolve Tutor |
| DaVinci Resolve Free | Launch Pygenesis Companion (standalone app installed alongside the model) |
Inference runs locally on your machine. No account or API key is required beyond downloading the model through the installer.
Intended Users
Editors, colorists, and technical users who want a local assistant tailored to DaVinci Resolve workflows.
