Your Assistant Colorists Best Friend

Sort and organize media by perceptual similarity. Accelerates color grading workflows so you spend time grading, not searching.

Perceptual tools designed to accelerate real-world grading workflows.
Automatically detects scene cuts and generates perceptual sets from any video using visual analysis, no editorial metadata required. Flash groups your shots by how they actually look, not by timecode or bin structure, so you can grade visually similar content together.
Groups shots by visual similarity, not where they sit in the timeline. Flash builds perceptual sets that let you see all your wide shots, all your close-ups, or all your golden-hour exteriors together, regardless of which reel or bin they came from. Disabled or thumbnailless shots are filtered out by default so you only work with what matters.
Flash connects directly to DaVinci Resolve with zero configuration. No Python installs, no environment variables, no PATH setup. Just open Resolve, launch Flash, and you’re connected. If you’ve already configured the Resolve scripting API for other tools, Flash detects your existing setup and works with it automatically.
Built specifically for DaVinci Resolve. Flash reads your project and timelines natively and supports A/C mode so you can switch instantly between sequential and perceptual views. Automatic bin organization, timeline resolution matching to source media, and a guided project wizard that detects your setup and configures the workflow for you.
See each shot alongside its best visual matches, ranked by similarity. Navigate shot-by-shot with keyboard arrows, view match thumbnails at scale, and lock specific pairings to protect them during grade transfer. Filter by unlocked shots to focus on what still needs work. Compare across multiple timelines or within a single edit, Flash pulls from your entire project.
Link shots visually using thumbnails of the closest matches, then copy grades across linked clips in one click. Flash copies the full grade, including clip groups and node stack layers, things Resolve’s native tools don’t transfer. Match your shots perceptually, link them, and propagate your look across the entire timeline.
Import and parse EDLs to reconstruct timelines from cut points and clip names. Flash understands both Resolve-native EDLs and manually imported ones, matching clips to your media pool automatically. Conform your edit structure visually, compare source clips against EDL events side-by-side, and export pre-conformed EDLs ready for roundtripping.
Automatic Input Device Transform detection and assignment per clip. Flash reads source metadata to determine the correct IDT for each camera type, IDTs transfer with grades when copying between timelines, and you can override assignments per-clip when needed.
Copy grades between timelines with everything intact, including clip groups and node stack layers in one click, two things Resolve’s native grade copy doesn’t support inFlash transfers the full grading context so you don’t lose work when moving between conforms.
Drop your ProRes master or any XMP-embedded export from Premiere Pro into Resolve, and Flash reads the embedded metadata to reconstruct the original timeline. It pulls the source filenames from inside the Premiere project into your Resolve timeline automatically, giving you every cut point and clip reference without needing separate EDLs or XMLs.
Note: Video layer/track order data is not included in the XMP spec, so only edit structure is reconstructed.
Automatically organize your Resolve bins with one click. Flash creates a timeline for every clip in a bin using the clip name with a customizable suffix (default: _graded), or creates one timeline per bin with the bin name at the start. Built-in detection for main edits, teasers, OOH variants and other common deliverable types so your project stays structured without manual sorting.
Flash includes a set of built-in utilities to speed up common Resolve tasks. Match your timeline resolution to your source media, apply project colorspace settings to a timeline, inherit color management from project level, and roundtrip your current timeline back into Resolve. Each utility runs as a single action so you don’t have to dig through menus.
Chain utilities together into reusable workflows. Flash ships with a stock “Timeline Prep” workflow that runs the most common setup steps in sequence, and you can build your own custom workflows from any combination of utilities. Set up once, run on every new project.
In Broadcast and Post Production, we know that we aren’t just one operating system, so we designed all our software to work on Windows, Mac or Linux. Why be constrained by your operating system determining what you can or cannot run? One product, three operating systems as standard.
