Thank you Ali! I got it to work in resolve by using --resolve, and then editing the suffix from fcpxml to xml.

'auto-editor' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

[@Sly-Jack]

For anyone else using this with Davinci and got the issue where the clip isn't found, doing this fixed it for me: Importing the original clip -> right click it -> clip attributes -> timecode -> set current frame to 00:00:00:00 -> set slate to 00:00:00:00 -> ok After that importing it worked as usual. Hope this helps 👍

[@Ali.abdlkareem]

That's so good to hear , always happy to help ☺️, also you can check an Ai video editor app called Descript, you can transcribe, remove filler words like ums and ahs and remove silences from your audio, all for free , and the great thing is that you can export the edited file as an XML to work on it in your favorite video editor of choice, you can check it if you have difficulty using these command line stuff. Hope that helps 😊

[@mystatinfreelife]

Looked good but I couldn't get past the import step. I kept getting error message indicating that the clip couldn't be found. The XML file seemed to have replaced \'s in pathname with the letter C

[@Ali.abdlkareem]

Hi there try importing the original video file to the video editor first then import the xml file. And also try having both files in the same folder on your PC! That way the video editor can read the xml file without any problems! Let me know if that works!

[@mystatinfreelife]

@@Ali.abdlkareem I had already tried all that. Using latest Davinci resolve. It just seems like davinci resolve has a problem. It seems to read the xml file, can't find the clip (because the path name is messed up, even though it looks good in the xml file itself). YIKES: I finally got it to work. I had to go into the XML file and change the path name to use "/" instead of "\". Maybe this is a problem with latest version of DaVinci? Or maybe some settings on my PC? In any case if all it takes is a quick edit to the xml to get it to work I can add that to my work flow.. just a few seconds of work. Thanks for taking the time to make this video and respond to me.

Hi there, there is a weird fix for this. It happened to me as well. Here is the fix for it: instead of you typing the command try just copying it from the manual just like I did, and also try to have the same file name! When I type the command sometimes it works sometimes doesn't. But when I copy it and paste it in the command line it always work. Weird I know, give it a try and let me know!

*The legend goes that every rendering is a downgrading process in video. So only what works within editing software, like Premiere, is useful to us.*

[@Ali.abdlkareem]

Well, Davinci resolve has just released its new version 18.5 beta 3 yesterday, which will do exactly like premiere pro, it has the transcription AI and will also allow you to auto remove silence from your video still in beta tho, and would only work on the studio version of DaVinci resolve, you can check it out from here: www.blackmagicdesign.com/support/

[@Ali.abdlkareem]

Thanks bud! Glad it helped

[@manoelcamposdev]

Thanks for sharing. I've been looking for a free tool like that for ages. Some tools just create a new video file that is not good, because sometimes they swallow the end of some words, making the editing weird. Furthermore, creating a new video file can take some time, making the entire editing cycle way longer.

[@crab-time]

IF IT SAYS 'FILE NOT FOUND' you have to include the video location. for example, C:Desktop\crab\(foldername)\(footage name).mp4 i was stuck with this for hours so i hope this doesnt happen to you

[@Ali.abdlkareem]

Thanks, unfortunately many people complain about the same problem, I think I should have made it clearer in fact you can just open the folder where the video is located and type CMD in the folder search bar that way the command line will direct you automatically there without having to type it yourself just like I did in the video check #3:39

Good tool. What's the purpose of exporting into final cut pro or Davinci resolve? is it for us to be able to visualize the parts that have been cut off and make adjustment?

[@Ali.abdlkareem]

yes, if you export it to another video editor it's just easier to make adjustments and further tweak your video, unless you don't want all of that and you just want to make cuts then you can do it straight up from the tool. I would still not recommend it though. since exporting in final cut or DaVinci gives you more control over your exported footage and quality.
