CRTizo

Turn any clip into an authentic CRT screen with scanlines, RGB dots, aperture grille, grid, slot mask, and crosshair presets, all adjustable from a single Fusion node.

Overview

CRTizo is a free Fusion Fuse for DaVinci Resolve that recreates the look of classic CRT monitors and televisions directly on your footage. Drop it after any node and choose from six preset styles: Scanlines for the classic horizontal CRT bands, RGB Dots and Aperture Grille for phosphor triad patterns, Grid for a subtle screen door effect, Slot Mask for staggered stadium phosphors, and Crosshairs for a focus reticle overlay.

Every style is built from simple, fast controls. Set the overall effect opacity, pick the scanline style, then tune line spacing, line thickness, and brightness to sell the effect at any resolution. Crosshairs add a rotatable reticle for viewfinder and camera overlay looks.

Element sizes are capped so the video always shows through the pattern, and the effect renders entirely inside Fusion with no external files or extra nodes. Installed with a one-drag Lua installer and free through the Clipizo Discord community.
