Can Codex control all of DaVinci Resolve? The sources establish the capabilities listed above, not complete application coverage. Check each bridge’s limitations and your application version before starting.
Which setup should I use? Choose a route that explicitly documents Codex and matches your environment. Start with the maintainer’s setup guide and a disposable project copy. Shared MCP support alone is listed as an inference.
