The Create Automation Script Project wizard supports you in creating script projects for DaVinci Adaptive projects. The wizard provides a few template scripts that you can use to easier get started with your script development. The created script project can be opened in IntelliJ IDEA, where you can modify and add your own code to the scripts.
