Overview
Dashizo is a Fusion Fuse that turns any polyline into a dashed path with controllable dash shapes, gaps, line caps, and colors.
Connect line points to other moving objects in your comp to drive animated dashed strokes that follow tracked elements, text, or nodes.
Choose from built-in path generators like line, rectangle, circle, polygon, and rounded rectangle, or connect your own custom path. Dash shapes include stroke, diamond, triangle, square, circle, star, and even text characters, all with bezier flattening for smooth curves.

Setup & help guide for Dashizo Install, find it in Resolve, the controls, common problems, uninstall
Dashizo Fuse: source with Circle Shape and Corner Radius, plus conditional dash, text and color controls.
Install
- Extract the complete ZIP before installing. Keep its How to Install.txt beside the files.
- Resolve Studio / Fusion Studio: drag the supplied Lua Studio installer into the Fusion Nodes area, follow its prompts, then restart the application.
- Resolve Free: close Resolve and copy Dashizo.fuse to your user Fuses folder. Create that folder if needed.
- Windows user Fuses folder: %AppData%\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Support\Fusion\Fuses
- macOS user Fuses folder: ~/Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/Fusion/Fuses/
- Restart Resolve. Use the instructions in your package if its installer or host version differs.
Where it appears in Resolve
Fusion → Shift+Space → Dashizo. This is a generator. Merge its output over footage to make a dashed overlay.
Controls in plain words
Some controls appear only after choosing the relevant mode.
Shape
- Shape Preset
- Select Custom Path, Custom Points, Circle or Rectangle.
- Path
- Draw or edit the custom path in the viewer.
- Center / Size
- Moves and scales the generated shape.
- Circle Shape
- Adjusts circle width. 1 gives a round circle; smaller or larger values make an oval.
- Corner Radius
- Rounds the Rectangle corners.
- Point Count / Point 1–4 / Curvature
- Choose two to four custom points, place them, and adjust how smoothly the path bends through them.
Dashes and text
- Dash Length / Gap Length
- Sets the visible length and empty space in the repeating pattern.
- Use Dash Count / Dash Count / Count From
- Limits the number of visible dashes and chooses the end to count from. A count of zero shows them all.
- Dash Offset
- Slides the pattern along the path. Keyframe it to make moving dashes.
- Equalize Gaps
- Redistributes spacing to fit the path more evenly.
- Dash Shape
- Chooses Stroke, Diamond, Triangle, Square, Circle, Star or Text.
- Character
- The character drawn for a Text dash.
- Scribble Characters / Characters / Text Seed
- Selects characters from your supplied set instead of repeating one character. Seed changes the repeatable selection.
- Thickness / Line Cap
- Sets dash width and the end shape of stroke dashes.
Color and flicker
- Opacity
- Fades the entire stroke. Zero makes it invisible.
- Red, Green, Blue / Alpha
- Choose a solid color; Alpha controls its transparency.
- Use Gradient
- Blends between two colors along the path instead of using the solid color.
- Start Red, Green, Blue / Start Alpha
- Color and transparency at the beginning of the gradient.
- End Red, Green, Blue / End Alpha
- Color and transparency at the end of the gradient.
- Gradient Offset
- Slides the color transition along the stroke.
- Dash Colors / Color Seed
- Gives individual dashes varied colors. Seed chooses a repeatable color pattern.
- Dash Color Gradient
- Adds color variation across each dash when Dash Colors is enabled.
- Flicker Amount / Flicker Seed
- Dims each dash by its own random amount; zero turns it off. The pattern holds still, so animate Flicker Seed to make the dashes flicker.
- YouTube / Clipizo Store
- Opens the channel or store in your browser.
Common problems
- Not in the tool search
- Extract the ZIP, check that the file still ends in .fuse, and restart Resolve after copying it. Use the user Fuses location for a manual install. Avoid installing a second copy of the same tool.
- An older interface still appears
- Resolve caches Fuse code. Fully restart it, then try a newly added node; an existing node may retain saved values.
- No dashes
- Check Thickness, Opacity and Alpha. A high Flicker Amount fades some dashes out.
- Cannot find a shape control
- Circle Shape appears for Circle, Corner Radius for Rectangle, and point controls for Custom Points. The current preset list has four choices.
Uninstall
- Close Resolve / Fusion. Move only Dashizo.fuse out of the Fuses folder where you installed it, to a backup folder outside the Fusion search folders.
- If you used the Studio installer, check the destination it reported (which can be the shared Clipizo/Fuses folder). Leave other Clipizo files in place.
- Restart the application. Existing projects using this tool will need it reinstalled to render the same result.

Updates log
v1.1 Dashizo v1.1
Dashizo v1.1 improves circle path rendering and adds a new circle-shape adjustment control.
Dashizo circles now render cleanly as true circles by default, with a new Circle Shape slider for quick manual correction or creative oval-style adjustments.
What's New in 1.1
- Fixed circle paths appearing egg-shaped on widescreen/non-square compositions.
- Added a new Circle Shape control for Circle presets, letting users fine-tune the circle path width.
- Circle Shape defaults to 1.0 for a true circle; lower values make it narrower, higher values make it wider.
- Added a Corner Radius control for the Rectangle preset, making it easier to create rounded rectangle dash paths directly inside Dashizo.
- Rebuilt the protected installer/package files for this release.
