Hey everyone,

I just finished a new free Lua script for DaVinci Resolve: Super Copy Template.

The problem it solves: you've spent time crafting the perfect Text+ style on one clip — font, size, color, tracking, shadows, the works — and now you need to apply it to 30 other Text+ clips scattered across your timeline. Doing it manually is painful. This script does it in one click.

How to use it

Step 1 — Pick your template Select the track that contains your beautifully styled Text+ clip in the Template Track dropdown. The script will automatically find the first Text+ clip on that track. Alternatively, check "Current Clip as Template" and simply place your playhead on the clip you want to use as a reference. The track dropdown is then ignored. Pro tip: if several tracks overlap at the playhead position, disable the ones above your target so Resolve picks the right clip.

Step 2 — Pick your target In the Target Track dropdown, choose where the style should be applied:

• A specific track — only that track's Text+ clips will be updated
• All Tracks — every Text+ clip on the entire timeline gets the style (this is the default)
• Colored Clips — only clips tagged with a specific clip color are updated. When you select this option, a second dropdown appears with all 16 Resolve clip colors to choose from.

Step 3 — Set your options

• Check "Ignore disabled tracks" if you have tracks muted that you don't want to touch
• Check "Clear clip color after copy" if you've been using clip colors as a to-do marker — each updated clip will have its color automatically removed once the style is applied

Step 4 — Hit Copy That's it. The script applies the style to every matching Text+ clip while preserving each clip's own text content. Check the Resolve console for a detailed log of what was updated and what was skipped.

The tutorial video is currently in preparation. The download link will be posted here as soon as the tutorial is live.

In the meantime, feel free to ask questions or suggest features for a potential v2 — I'm already thinking about in/out point filtering and a few other things. 👀

DaVinci Resolve free users

The UI version of this script uses UIManager, which is only available in DaVinci Resolve Studio. If you're on the free version, don't worry — a console-only version with hardcoded parameters will also be available. Less fancy, same result. 😉

Stay tuned! 🎬

No one’s going to ask me for the settings to use it in their own edits lol—it’s just a little experiment, and of course, as usual, without keyframes, which makes it a transition that’s actually usable 😂

I didn't plan to make this effect — it just came out of another experiment. Fully procedural, zero keyframes.

You can control:

• Number of tiles (rows × cols)
• Animation duration (full reconstruction)
• Fade speed per tile
• The starting Tile (set the focus)
• The photo of course but if you are fan, keep Sydney Sweeney

The starting tile always appears first, then the others fill in randomly.

Adjust just some sliders and you are done.

Are you interested in a tutorial (quite an interesting one) or a macro (for the less adventurous)?

Node tree bellow

SuperCarousel is a single macro — just drop your media in (videos or photos), set a few sliders, and it runs on its own. No keyframes required. But every parameter is keyframable, which means the fun starts when you animate them.

What you control out of the box:

• Number of clips
• Carousel radius
• Duration of one full rotation (speed)
• Pause-to-rotation ratio — from smooth continuous spin to hard stop between each image
• Easing — from linear to silky smooth
• Starting angle and rotation direction
• Orientation of each image — tangent to the circle, facing camera, or radial

Push it further:

• Helix— spread the images vertically into a helix
• Spiral — vary the radius progressively, from tight cone to open fan
• Growing — scale each image based on its position in the ring
• Bend — curve each image along its own axis for a book or petal effect
• Rotation X/Z — tilt each image

Combine everything and keyframe the transitions:

Tangent orientation on a spiral follows the actual curve geometry. Every combination produces something unexpected.

Yes, it needs some GPU/CPU power — especially when you start animating. But the time your machine spends calculating is a tiny fraction of what it would take to build this from scratch manually. Grab a coffee or a beer while it renders. You've earned it.

Any number of clips, 7 or 8 nodes, no keyframes needed — but limitless when you add them.

More options and a full demo coming soon — stay tuned.

Forget every complicated, boring, keyframe-heavy carousel you've seen before

It's always the same method that limits the number of nodes; here there are only 7 or 8, no matter how many media clips you add (Not counting the ones used to create the circular mask and the white border.)

The Macro already allows you to adjust:

• The duration of a lap
• The Pause-to-Rotation Ratio.
• The easing.
• The starting angle

and the rest falls into place on its own, with zero keyframes.

Lots more options coming soon — stay tuned.

Although it is old (15 years) and has a user interface that shows its age, this tutorial is still relevant today because the fundamentals of 3D Fusion have not changed. I’ve simply replaced the process of erasing an object with drawing the road and masking the areas behind the trees and house.

It's quite technical, but also very powerful. It requires the Studio version.
