In DaVinci Resolve,

• Select Workspace from the toolbar at the top of the window;
• select the Scripts option from the drop-down (near the bottom);
• Choose CatDV to open the plugin's panel.
• You will be prompted to enter the URL for your CatDV Web Panel.

Upgrade

Sometimes new versions of the software may be released; to upgrade the installed version of the panel, use a terminal to execute the following commands:

1. pip install --upgrade catdv_resolve
   

2. python -m catdv_resolve install --force
   

Advanced Installation

The package can also be installed into a Python virtual environment (venv) of the appropriate Python version.

1. Ensure you are executing the intended python version:

   python --version
   

2. Create a new venv using the Virtualenv tool:

   python -m venv [target]
   

   E.g. python3 -m venv ./venv310 is an ideal choice for a Python 3.10 venv.

   Following instructions assume the target provided was ./venv310.

3. Activate the venv:

   Windows

   .\venv310\Scripts\activate.bat
   

   Mac / Linux / *nix

   source ./venv310/bin/activate
   

4. Optional step:

   Install the wheel package to utilise Python's newer package install methods.

   pip install wheel
   

5. Install the package:

   pip install catdv_resolve
   

6. Finalise the installation:

   python -m catdv_resolve install
   

   (This step creates a symbolic link so that DaVinci Resolve can find the plugin's files).
