My dude! This is just the kind of stuff I'm looking for!

[@PeeJ_ENT]

I feel my brain growing

[@Execrated]

The "complex tables" you referred to at 5:00 are called dictionaries (at least in Python), for future reference. I hope to see more Lua scripting videos from you in the future because I'm having a hard time translating some concepts 1:1 from Python to Lua, and not a lot of people are covering the Resolve API on UA-cam.

[@philingram9281]

Many thanks - I've been wanting to get into scripting in DaVinci Resolve, especially Lua, but there aren't many beginner tutorials available. Plenty for Python though.

[@asherroland]

I'm glad I could help! :D I noticed that too and it's my goal to teach people how to script for Davinci Resolve since it has awful documentation about it

[@itsnotloveitslust]

Ive used Lua among other programming and scripting languages for years but i still struggle with Resolve/Fusion scripting because blackmagic is terrible with documentation. The latest fusion manual is from 2016. Its really disappointing.

[@asherroland]

I agree! I hope to make everyone's lives easier with my videos lol

[@dazzlingspring]

pls do more scripting tuts

[@asherroland]

More Scripting coming in two weeks! :D Next week is making a macro from scratch

[@Dexter101x]

I use VSCode extensively for web design. Are there any extension I should use for LUA coding?

[@Dexter101x]

I'm not available for tomorrow's live stream, hence the question

[@asherroland]

I'm streaming tonight if you wanna get a good answer. But I just searched for Lua extensions and chose the first one haha

[@MarkIreland_carrierband]

Do you have problems with NVidia drivers and DaVinci?

[@asherroland]

I haven't had many problems with it personally
