Box Cutter for DaVinci Resolve
by Will Rosekelly

INSTALLING
----------
Mac      Double-click "Install on Mac.command".
         If macOS refuses to open it, right-click it and choose Open.

Windows  Open a Command Prompt in this folder and run:  python install.py
Linux    Open a terminal in this folder and run:        python3 install.py

Then, in Resolve:   Workspace > Scripts > Edit > Box Cutter

If the menu item is missing, restart Resolve.
If it is there but nothing opens, switch on:
   Preferences > System > General > "External scripting using" = Local

USING IT
--------
Park the playhead on a clip and press MAKE THE BOXES. The boxes are built as
animated masks inside that clip's Fusion comp, and the playhead jumps onto the
middle of the wipe so you can see them straight away. "Remove mine" takes back
everything the panel made, and nothing else.

Your clips are never moved, trimmed or re-timed.

YOUR KEY
--------
Paste it into the box at the top of the panel and press Unlock. One key covers
both this and the After Effects version, on two computers. Without a key it
builds six boxes at a time so you can see how it works.

Activation needs the internet once. After that it works offline.

IF SOMETHING IS WRONG
---------------------
Run the checker. It changes nothing and prints a report you can paste
straight back to me:

    Windows   python "Check my setup.py"
    Mac       python3 "Check my setup.py"
    Linux     python3 "Check my setup.py"

It says which Python you have, whether Resolve's Scripts folder exists yet,
where the engine and licence went, and whether the engine actually imports
on your machine.

REMOVING IT
-----------
Run:  python3 install.py --remove
