How to Set Up a Local Influencer Factory

A creative shop open-sources its reaction library and the exact hook-writing prompt behind 150k assets, then wires DaVinci Resolve to an agent so one machine cuts a hundred UGC clips in eight seconds.

DaVinci MCP + Astra + Skills - How to setup a local influencer factory

If you're reading this you've been chosen by the algorithm gods. Use this knowledge wisely.

Here is DaVinci MCP + Astra one shotting 100 Hook + Reaction style UGC videos in 8 seconds:

As you know, Astra has lived up to it's hype and is insane at content creation/world building. Here's a diagram it made about our ai influencers:

It coordinates work and write hooks (custom skill trained on our hook library) + combines with the reaction library (which I am open sourcing - download 1000+ reaction videos for free from here ), and DaVinci MCP handles the edits. Here's how to use it:

1. Grab the free reaction videos bucket

We put 1,000+ reaction templates in the doublespeed video bucket. This is the raw material for the factory: different faces, expressions, settings, and motions you can pair with your own hooks.

You can browse the raw clips and download the ones you want to work with locally. Put all of them in a working folder, lets call it "BOMBACLAT" for this tutorial.

2. Set up DaVinci MCP (if you want to do it manually)

Download the latest DaVinci Studio 21.1. Then under file -> Setup AI Assistants.
