The broadcast slate tool editors were missing

Your timeline already knows the answer.

Editors lose time copying timecodes, calculating durations and checking formatting. Segment TC reads the markers you already placed and builds the slate for you.

DaVinci Resolve

Windows + MAC-OS

DaVinci Resolve Studio

The Resolve edition is a Python Utility script. Install Python with Tkinter and Pillow before copying the script.

01

Install the prerequisites

Install Python 3 from python.org ↗. On Windows, enable Add Python to PATH in the installer. The python.org MAC-OS installer includes Tkinter.

Windows — PowerShell or Command Promptpy -m pip install --upgrade Pillow
MAC-OS — Terminalpython3 -m pip install --upgrade Pillow

Pillow installation reference: official Pillow documentation ↗

02

Verify Python, Tkinter and Pillow

Run the command for your system. A small Tk window should open and the terminal should print Segment TC ready.

Windowspy -c "import tkinter; from PIL import Image; print('Segment TC ready')"
MAC-OSpython3 -c "import tkinter; from PIL import Image; print('Segment TC ready')"
03

Copy the Utility script

From the downloaded package, copy SegmentTC_Resolve.py into the Utility folder for your operating system. Create the final folders if they do not exist.

Windows — all usersC:\ProgramData\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Fusion\Scripts\Utility\

Pillow is missing: repeat the install command using the Python installation that Resolve can access.

Tkinter is missing: reinstall Python from python.org with Tcl/Tk support, then repeat the verification command.

No markers found: move the markers to the timeline ruler. Markers attached to individual clips are not read.
