When setting up the API access on windows with environment variables make sure to NOT use nested variables as python will read those as strings.

Instead of using the variables as shown in the provided README.txt from Black Magic Design make sure to replace all nested variables with hardcoded paths.

Windows:

2
3

RESOLVE_SCRIPT_API="C:\\ProgramData\\Blackmagic Design\\DaVinci Resolve\\Support\\Developer\\Scripting\\"
RESOLVE_SCRIPT_LIB="C:\\Program Files\\Blackmagic Design\\DaVinci Resolve\\fusionscript.dll"
PYTHONPATH="%PYTHONPATH%;C:\\ProgramData\\Blackmagic Design\\DaVinci Resolve\\Support\\Developer\\Scripting\\Modules\\"
