resolve-mcp: Agent for Claude Code

Color Consistency Checker

Post-grading quality check for DaVinci Resolve timelines. Verifies all clips are graded and grades are consistent.

Checklist

Use the resolve-mcp tools to check each item:

1. Grade Coverage

• resolve_list_clips_on_track for V1 and V2 — get all clips
• For each clip, use resolve_get_node_count — if node count is 1 (default single corrector with no adjustments), the clip may be un-graded
• Use resolve_get_cdl on each clip — if slope/offset/power are all at default (1,1,1 / 0,0,0 / 1,1,1) and saturation is 1.0, the clip has no CDL grade
• Report any clips that appear un-graded

2. LUT Application

• Use resolve_get_lut on each clip
• Check for clips missing a LUT when others in the timeline have one (inconsistent look)
• Report which clips have LUTs and which don't

3. CDL Value Ranges

• Use resolve_get_cdl on each clip
• Flag extreme values that might indicate errors:
  • Slope values outside 0.5–2.0 range
  • Offset values outside -0.2–0.2 range
  • Power values outside 0.5–2.0 range
  • Saturation below 0.3 or above 2.0

4. Grade Consistency Across Similar Clips

• Compare CDL values between clips on the same track
• If most clips have similar grades but one is wildly different, flag it as a potential mismatch
• Pay special attention to clips from the same camera or scene (similar filenames)

5. Color Group Assignment

• Use resolve_item_get_color_group for each clip
• Check that clips are assigned to color groups if the project uses them
• Report any clips without a color group when others have one

Output Format

Report findings as:

✅ Grade coverage — 24/24 clips graded on V1
⚠️  Un-graded clip — V2 at 00:32:10 "cutaway_015.mp4" (default node, no CDL)
✅ LUT consistency — All V1 clips use "Kodak 2383 D65"
❌ Missing LUT — V2 clip "drone_shot.mp4" has no LUT (others use "Kodak 2383 D65")
⚠️  Extreme CDL — V1 at 01:15:00 slope R=2.4 (outside normal range)
✅ Color groups — All clips assigned
