Built a DaVinci Resolve companion app after one too many timecode headaches
I'm a filmmaker, and for years I got frustrated with DaVinci Resolve projects: no reliable timecode display on a second monitor, no studio clock when Resolve wasn't even open, and manual time tracking for invoicing clients.
So I built ARISDA Bridge — a Windows app that does three things:
- Shows accurate DaVinci Resolve timecode on any monitor (via the Scripting API + MIDI/MCU on the Edit page, or real LTC audio on the Fairlight page)
- Runs as a standalone studio clock, independent of Resolve (NTP time, stopwatch, countdown)
- Automatically tracks work time per project and per DaVinci page, with per-client rates and one-click PDF invoicing
Optional: it can also drive PunchLight studio hardware (a Studio Warning Display and Studio Display USB) so talent and director always know when recording is active.
It's a one-time purchase (€83), no subscription, all data stored locally.
Happy to answer questions about the workflow or the product in general!
