🎬 EDL Tools for ATEM Live Video Production & DaVinci Resolve

This repository provides two lightweight, browser-based web applications to support timecode-based editing and video annotation workflows, particularly for live productions and DaVinci Resolve postproduction.

🛠️ Tools Included

1. EDL Marker Tool for Live Production

Example: EDL Marker Tool File: EDL_for_ATEM_live_production_1_1_EN.html

A browser-based timecode tracker tailored for live production environments (e.g., ATEM-based multicam shoots). It enables editors or live directors to mark important moments (Start, Cut, Outtake, etc.) with frame-accurate timestamps and generate .EDL files for import into DaVinci Resolve.

2. EDL-Enabled Video Commenting Tool for Resolve

Example: EDL Video Player File: EDL_video_player_for_resolve_1_1_EN.html

An HTML video player for reviewing media files and adding comments directly at specific timecodes. Designed for editors and directors to review takes collaboratively.
