davinci-aac-support
By broskisworld
Linux background watcher that detects imported AAC media, converts audio to PCM with FFmpeg and relinks clips through Resolve scripting. Leaves compatible video streams unchanged. Requires Python 3, FFmpeg/ffprobe and a systemd user service. Creator claims Free/Studio support; Resolve 21.1 scripting restrictions require a separate compatibility check.
