DaVinci Resolve · Free and Studio · Windows · Mac soon

Paste a link. It lands in your bin.

Link Drop lives inside DaVinci Resolve. Paste a link, choose Song or Video, and it arrives in your Media Pool already converted, named and sorted into its own bin. No browser tabs, no converters, no dragging files around.

WAV 48 kHz songs, edit-ready video Resolve Free and Studio One payment, free updates
How it works

Paste. Pick. Cut.

01

Paste the link

Open Link Drop from Workspace inside Resolve and paste one link, or several, one per line. Or search and preview a track right in the panel.

02

Song or Video

Songs come as WAV 48 kHz, the format Resolve edits best. Videos are converted so they play smoothly on your timeline. Trim first if you only need a part.

03

It is already in your bin

The file lands in the Media Pool of the project you have open, in a MUSIC or DOWNLOADS bin. Drag it to the timeline and keep cutting.

What it does

Less admin, more editing.

♪

Songs, edit-ready

WAV 48 kHz by default, so the audio matches your timeline and never drifts. MP3 when you want smaller files.

▶

Video Resolve plays well

Converted to a format Resolve scrubs smoothly, on your graphics card when it has one. Up to 1080p by default, 4K or 8K when you ask for it.

✂

Trim before you download

Only need the chorus or one scene? Set From and To and Link Drop brings just that part.

☰

Several links at once

One link per line. They queue up and land in their bins one after the other while you keep working.

⚲

Search and preview

Search from the panel and listen before you download, so you only bring in what you will use.

↻

Stays working

When a website changes, one click updates the download engine. No reinstalling.

Your media, your rights. Link Drop is for media you own or have the rights to use: your own posts and uploads, your clients' material with their permission, and royalty free or Creative Commons tracks under their terms. It does not give you any right to what you download, and many websites do not allow downloading in their terms. You are responsible for following them.

FAQ

Questions

Which links does it work with?

Most video and music websites that allow downloads, plus your own posts and your clients'. If a link needs you to be logged in, Link Drop can use the login of your browser. It is not made for streaming services or anything behind a paywall.

Does it work on the free version of DaVinci Resolve?

Yes. Free Resolve has no plugin panels, so Link Drop runs as its own small window that Resolve opens from Workspace › Scripts. On Studio it docks inside Resolve as a Workflow Integration.

Where do the files go?

Into a folder you choose, and at the same time into the Media Pool of the project you have open: songs in a MUSIC bin, videos in DOWNLOADS. You can rename the bins in the settings.

Why pay what you want?

Link Drop is a small tool we built for our own edits. $5 is the price of a coffee; if it saves you time every week, you are welcome to give more. Every payment keeps it updated.

Windows says it protected my PC.

That is Windows being careful with a new app from a small studio. Click More info, then Run anyway. The installer only adds Link Drop and its tools.

Mac?

Coming soon, for Apple Silicon Macs (M1 and newer), on both Resolve Free and Studio. It already runs in our tests; we are finishing Apple's signing so it installs without warnings.
