YEETingus

Open source · Windows · Resolve Studio

Any clip, straight onto
your Resolve timeline.

YEETingus grabs any slice of a YouTube video or Twitch clip and drops it right at your playhead in DaVinci Resolve. No downloading three hours of stream to use twenty seconds of it.

You need DaVinci Resolve Studio — the paid version.The free version of Resolve has no external scripting API, so there is nothing for YEETingus to connect to and it cannot work at all. That limit is set by Blackmagic inside Resolve itself; no plugin can get around it.

Heads upWindows Defender currently flags the build as Trojan:Win32/Sabsik.EN.A!ml. It is a false positive — the !ml suffix means a machine-learning guess rather than a match against known malware, and PyInstaller apps trip it because they unpack themselves and fetch other executables. Nothing here is packed or obfuscated. A code-signed build is coming, which will clear it; until then there are SHA-256 checksums on the GitHub readme.

RoadmapWindows only for now. macOS and Linux versions are planned.

YEETingus
The YEETingus window: a source panel with a video link and in and out points, a max quality selector, insertion options, the big YEET button, and a live log down the right-hand side.

Three panels, then YEET

Launch it from Workspace → Scripts → Utility with a project and timeline open.

  1. 1

    Source

    Paste the video link and set your in and out points. Leave both at 00:00 to take the whole thing.

  2. 2

    Max quality

    Pick a ceiling. Best available by default, or cap it at 1080p when you want smooth playback over pixels.

  3. 3

    Insert clip by

    Playhead, or start of timeline. Then hit YEET and get back to editing.

What it does

Only the slice you asked for

It downloads the range, not the video. A twenty second clip out of a three hour stream lands almost instantly, cut frame-accurately with forced keyframes.

Timestamps, however you type them

Write 90, 1:30 or 00:01:30 — all fine. Paste a share link with a ?t= in it and the in point fills itself. Quick buttons cover 15s, 30s, 90s and the entire video.

Lands on the timeline

Insert at the playhead or at the start of the timeline. A live status readout tells you which project and timeline you are connected to — or download only and skip Resolve entirely.

Quality you choose

Cap it at best available, 2160p, 1440p, 1080p, 720p or 480p. H.264 is preferred where it exists so Resolve plays it back smoothly, and you are told what you actually got.

Tidy on disk

Clips go into folders named after the video, its title and the channel. Nothing is ever overwritten — clips are numbered as you go, and full downloads are cached for the next time you come back.

Nothing hidden

A live log with real progress, a STOP button that actually stops, MIT licensed source. The yt-dlp and ffmpeg it runs on are fetched on first launch rather than bundled, and yt-dlp keeps itself current. No telemetry, no analytics, no account.

Getting set up

  1. 1

    Run the installer

    It puts the app in place and adds the Resolve menu entry for you.

    Install-YEETingus.exe
  2. 2

    Let Resolve talk to it

    In Resolve Studio, set Preferences → System → General → External scripting using to Local.

  3. 3

    Restart Resolve

    It caches the Scripts menu, so a restart is required. After that, open Workspace → Scripts → Utility → YEETingus.
