Overview

Matchizo is a free Fusion Fuse for DaVinci Resolve that builds multi-image match cuts from a single node. In Connected Images mode it switches between up to 30 connected image inputs with configurable hold timing, start frame, and optional looping.

In Word Match Cut mode Matchizo generates styled newspaper frames where your focus word sits inline in the text with a solid or brush stroke highlight, and each cut changes paper tone and style while the layout you pick and the focus word stay in place. Set the words before and after the focus word, control variations, fonts, colors, and backgrounds from a folder of your own images.

A final camera transform with zoom and pan works over every mode, output resolution controls keep cuts delivery-ready, and the Add Markers button drops timeline cut markers on the edit page so your match cuts line up with your edit.

Matchizo Fuse: Connected Images and Word Match Cut build with camera, background and Edit-page markers.

Install
  1. Extract the complete ZIP before installing. Keep its How to Install.txt beside the files.
  2. Resolve Studio / Fusion Studio: drag the supplied Lua Studio installer into the Fusion Nodes area, follow its prompts, then restart the application.
  3. Resolve Free: close Resolve and copy Matchizo.fuse to your user Fuses folder. Create that folder if needed.
  4. Windows user Fuses folder: %AppData%\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Support\Fusion\Fuses
  5. macOS user Fuses folder: ~/Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/Fusion/Fuses/
  6. Restart Resolve. Use the instructions in your package if its installer or host version differs.
Where it appears in Resolve

Fusion → Shift+Space → Matchizo. View its output and connect it to MediaOut. For Connected Images, connect your images to Image 01, Image 02 and the remaining numbered inputs. Word Match Cut generates its own newspaper frames.

Controls in plain words

Some controls appear only after choosing the relevant mode.

Timing and camera
Mode
Switches between connected images and generated word-match newspaper frames.
Active Inputs / Image 01–30
Sets how many numbered image inputs participate in Connected Images mode. Connect the images you want to use.
Hold Frames
Sets how many frames each image or variation stays onscreen.
Start Frame
Sets when the sequence starts.
Order / Loop
Chooses forward, reverse or outside-in ordering; Loop repeats the sequence.
zoom / pan left/right / pan up/down
Scales and moves the final image without moving the focus word separately.
recalculate quality
Recalculates the generated image at a quality appropriate for the camera zoom; this can cost more processing.
Add Markers on the edit page
Adds timeline markers at calculated cut positions. This needs an accessible Resolve timeline; it does not cut clips for you.
use comp res / width / height
Uses the composition resolution, or a custom output width and height in pixels.
Clipizo on YouTube / YouTube
Opens the Clipizo channel in your browser. It does not change the image.
Focus word and highlight
focus word / 10 words before / 10 words after
Sets the central word and nearby text. Empty surrounding fields use generated filler.
variations / layout / seed
Sets the number of newspaper variations, their layout style, and a repeatable variation pattern.
fonts / font 1–10 / style 1–10
Chooses how many font slots to cycle through, and each slot’s typeface and style.
space above focus / space below focus
Changes the space around the focus line.
focus highlight / highlight style
Turns the focus-word highlight on and chooses a solid or brush-stroke mark.
highlight offset x / y
Moves the highlight relative to the word.
highlight width / height
Changes the highlight’s dimensions.
text color / focus uses text color / focus word color / highlight color
Sets the text and highlight colors, including transparency. Disable focus uses text color to give the central word its own color.
Background (Word Match Cut)
folder path
Points to a folder of background images on your computer.
paper overlay
Controls how strongly the generated paper look covers the background.
image size / zoom
Scales the background image.
position x / y
Moves the background horizontally or vertically.
image offset / image count
Offsets the background sequence and limits how many background images are used.
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.
Blank cuts
In Connected Images mode, check the numbered connections and Active Inputs. Start with two connected images and Active Inputs = 2.
Color or BG controls are unavailable
Those controls are for Word Match Cut, not Connected Images.
Custom backgrounds do not load
Check the folder path and readable image files. Folder scanning uses Windows-specific code in this source; do not assume this feature works on macOS.
Markers are missing
Make the intended timeline active in Resolve. Fusion Studio has no Resolve Edit timeline to receive markers.
Uninstall
  1. Close Resolve / Fusion. Move only Matchizo.fuse out of the Fuses folder where you installed it, to a backup folder outside the Fusion search folders.
  2. 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.
  3. Restart the application. Existing projects using this tool will need it reinstalled to render the same result.
