autoneat

Standalone Neat Video Pro 6 Auto Profile automation for DaVinci Resolve.

Neat Video has no public scripting API for Auto Profile. autoneat scripts the parts Resolve exposes, then uses macOS window automation, OCR, and learned OpenCV templates for the controls Neat does not expose: Auto Profile and Apply.

Install

python3 -m pip install autoneat

DaVinci Resolve Studio, Neat Video Pro 6, macOS Accessibility / Screen Recording permissions, and Tesseract OCR are required. Run:

autoneat doctor

CLI

Run against the current Resolve project/timeline:

autoneat profile

Run against a specific project/timeline and shot filter:

autoneat profile \
  --shot-ids 001 002 003 \
  --continue \
  --retry-failed

Important options:

  • --continue resumes from the state JSON.
  • --retry-failed retries previously failed clips when resuming.
  • --all-video-tracks processes all video tracks instead of --track 1.
  • --fresh-neat adds a fresh Neat node instead of reusing one.
  • --reset deletes existing Neat nodes and rebuilds from scratch.
  • --color-wrap enables the HDR/linear ColorSpaceTransform wrapper.
  • --no-templates disables learned OpenCV templates and uses OCR only.
  • --json prints the final summary object after the live log.

Python API

from autoneat import ProfileOptions, run_profile

result = run_profile(
    ProfileOptions(
        project_name="My Show",
        timeline_name="My Show_Neat",
        shot_ids=["001", "002"],
    )
)

How It Works

For each selected timeline clip, autoneat:

  1. Moves the Resolve playhead to the clip.
  2. Adds or reuses the Neat Video OFX node.
  3. Wraps ACES/HDR clips with ColorSpaceTransform nodes so Neat sees display-referred pixels.
  4. Opens Neat via the OFX Prepare Profile___ button control.
  5. OCR-clicks Auto Profile, waits for readiness, then OCR-clicks Apply.
  6. Writes a state JSON after every clip for resumable batches.
