Resolve UI API questions

Hi all,

I was recently super excited to learn that the Resolve UI has a Python API!

Then I started reading into it, and it seems it's very limited.

My first "simple" test was going to be to apply a certain level of Voice Isolation to all selected clips, but it seems:
1) There's no function to determine which clips are selected, and
2) There's no function to add/change Voice Isolation levels.

Is this actually true, or am I missing something?

And if it is true, is there another way to implement something like this?

I've heard of people reading/writing the database directly, but that seems inadvisable to me.

You're correct. The methods you describe don't currently exist, but new features are rolled out all the time.

Many users have asked for something like timeline.GetSelectedItemsList() in the past.

You can ready and write the DB directly, but I wouldn't advise it. It's very easy to invalidate the data.

On Media Pool level it is currently (18.6) not possible to retrieve the selected clip.
However on timeline Level you have an option => GetCurrentVideoItem()

Although the OP is asking about selected clip(s), not a timeline clip that's currently under the playhead.

Yes, exactly. I need to be able to apply effects to multiple clips at the same time.
