Lumo Integration with DaVinci Resolve via MCP
I'd like to suggest adding DaVinci Resolve integration to Lumo. This would enable video editors to use a privacy-first AI assistant directly within their video editing workflow.
Why This Matters:
Privacy-Conscious Professionals — Video editors often work on unreleased content, corporate projects, documentaries, and sensitive material. Many cannot use mainstream AI tools due to confidentiality requirements. Lumo's zero-access encryption addresses this gap.
Technical Feasibility — DaVinci Resolve 21.1 now supports MCP (Model Context Protocol), which enables AI assistants to automate editing tasks like removing silences, adding captions, syncing audio, and generating transcript-based rough cuts, making graphics etc. The infrastructure exists on Blackmagic's side.
Competitive Differentiation — Current MCP-compatible AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT) do not offer end-to-end encrypted, privacy-focused alternatives. This would position Lumo uniquely in the professional creative market.
Implementation Paths:
Develop a native Lumo desktop app for Windows/macOS (enables MCP server access)
Create an OpenFX/DCTL plugin for direct Resolve integration
Provide MCP configuration guide for connecting Lumo to Resolve 21.1+
Target Users: Professional video editors, documentary filmmakers, corporate media teams, content creators handling confidential/unreleased material.
With DaVinci Resolve 21.1's MCP support launching in September 2026, now is an ideal window to build this integration before competing solutions capture the market.
Thank you for considering this feature. It would be a significant differentiator for Lumo in the professional creative space while staying true to Proton's privacy-first mission.
