Just 1 issue
I am just facing an issue im new to resolve and I'm not sure how I can use it for subtitles
It works. But, it’s clumsy and takes some time to get the feel of it. Theres a glitch somewhere that causes the interface to flicker, like a stuck frame
Going in and out, that takes a minute to clear. It seems to happen when multiple fs are applied.
Cannot install. Directions cannot be followed. Video description too fast.
Could not follow the instructions. Video goes too fast and included direction did not work from the start.

Overview
Type your text, pick a font and switch on the In and Out rows you want: Opacity, Blur, Position, Size, Tracking, Rotation and Explosion. Each row animates every letter, word or line between its own Start and End Frame, with Stagger % and a choice of 31 eases.
Shading layers add outlines, shadows, glows, gradient fills and rounded boxes behind letters, words or lines. Textizo renders on a transparent background, so it goes over video through a Merge. It works in DaVinci Resolve Free and Studio.
Requirements
- Software
- DaVinci Resolve 21.1.x, Free or Studio, on the Fusion page (older versions are untested)
- Operating system
- Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit; macOS 15 or later on Apple silicon (Resolve 21.1's minimum)
- License
- None: no key and no extra runtime. It uses the fonts installed on your computer
- Download
- One ZIP for Windows or macOS with the Studio installer and Textizo.fuse
Questions about your setup? Ask in the Clipizo Discord or send us a message.
Key features
- Letters, words or lines: seven In rows and seven Out rows (Opacity, Blur, Position, Size, Tracking, Rotation, Explosion) that combine freely, for example fade + blur + rise for a "fade up into focus".
- Simple timing: each row has a Start Frame and an End Frame (Capture buttons take the playhead's frame), Stagger % to spread the pieces out, and 31 ease presets. The timing adapts to any text length. Tracking rows have a Pivot, so letters can spread out from the start, the middle or the end of each line.
- Layered looks: up to 8 shading layers with filled text, outlines, soft shadows and glows, solid or gradient colour, and rounded boxes behind each letter, word or line (caption pills and word chips).
- Motion blur built in.
- Style with Text+: Create Styler makes a native Text+ / Character Level Styling pair; style it there, then Import Style bakes that styling into Textizo.
- Fast holds: text that isn't moving is cached, so the still part between the In and the Out plays back quickly.
- Free download, updates included.
Best for
- Titles and lower thirds
- Kinetic typography
- Captions and subtitles with word boxes
- Social-media text pops (sticker style)
- Clean "Apple-style" reveals
- End cards and subscribe prompts
Setup & help guide for Textizo Install, find it in Resolve, the controls, common problems, uninstall
Textizo v1.2.3, the text animator Fuse. The older Textizo .setting template is retired.
Install
- Extract the complete ZIP before installing, and read legal/CLIPIZO_PRODUCT_LICENSE.txt.
- Resolve Studio: drag Textizo studio installer.lua into the Nodes area of the Fusion page. The result appears in Workspace > Console. Then restart Resolve. It installs to %PROGRAMDATA%\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Fusion\Clipizo\Fuses\ on Windows, or /Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/Fusion/Clipizo/Fuses/ on macOS.
- Resolve Free (works in Studio too): close Resolve and copy Textizo.fuse into your user Fuses folder, creating it if needed. In Free, the Studio installer can't write files, so it only prints these steps.
- 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/
- Always restart Resolve after installing or updating: Resolve loads Fuses only when it starts.
Where it appears in Resolve
On the Fusion page, press Shift+Space and type Textizo. New nodes are named Textizo1, Textizo2 and so on. Connect Textizo to MediaOut1, or, over video, to a Merge's foreground input.
Presets: right-click a Textizo node > Settings > Load… and pick a .setting file. Dragging a .setting file onto the Nodes area also adds the node.
Controls in plain words
Some controls appear only after choosing the relevant mode.

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.
- Playback is slower than real time
- On animated frames every visible letter is redrawn. Use Resolve's render cache, or render, to judge smoothness. Still holds are cached automatically.
- Gradients and motion blur are slow
- They are the slowest options; turn motion blur off while editing.
- Explosion spin jumps
- The Explosion row's own Spin X/Y/Z can jump when letters land. Set them to 0 and spin with the Rotation row.
- Fonts missing on another computer
- Fonts must be installed on every computer that opens the project.
- No custom curves
- Custom curve editing isn't available; use the ease presets.
- A Mac blocks the downloaded file
- Use System Settings > Privacy & Security > Open Anyway.
Uninstall
- Close Resolve / Fusion. Move only Textizo.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
v1.2.3 Textizo v1.2.3
Textizo v1.2.3 makes Tracking space Arabic and Persian letters the way Text+ does. Download it again to get it; your saved comps and presets keep working.
Bug Fixes
- Tracking now spaces every letter, as Text+ does, in Arabic and Persian too: joined letters move apart in their joined shapes, and letters a font draws as one (such as لا) stay together. Before, Tracking moved whole Arabic and Persian words.
v1.2.2 Textizo v1.2.2
Textizo v1.2.2 fixes Import Style on text with more than one line. Download it again to get it; your saved comps and presets keep working.
Bug Fixes
- Import Style now colours the first letter of every line. Before, a style on the second or a later line started one letter late for each line break.
v1.2.1 Textizo v1.2.1
Textizo v1.2.1 fixes Arabic and Persian text. Download it again to get it; your saved comps and presets keep working.
Bug Fixes
- Arabic and Persian fonts that leave out some letter shapes, such as Lalezar, Cairo and Tajawal, now draw those letters too. Before, Textizo showed a box in their place.
- Tracking now spaces whole Arabic and Persian words, and the Tracking animations move each word as one piece. Before, Tracking pulled their joined letters apart, or pressed them together when negative.
v1.2 Textizo v1.2
Textizo v1.2 brings smoother edges, Stop at Frame, new timing controls and fixes. Saved comps keep working, but comps that use Rotation now turn by the degrees they set.
What's New in 1.2
- Edges, fades and blur are now as smooth as Text+. Before, soft edges could look stair-stepped over dark footage, and fades were too dark.
- Stop at Frame on the In and Out pages: from the frame you choose, every letter keeps the look it has there. For example, the last letters of a reveal can stay blurred.
- Start At on the In page starts the In animation later, and Align to End on the Out page ends the exit at the end of the clip, so a preset fits clips of any length.
- The Studio installer now also updates a Textizo.fuse that was copied by hand into the shared Fuses folder, so an old copy there can no longer hide an update.
Bug Fixes
- Rotation rows, the Text page Rotation and explosion spins turned far less than set. They now turn by the degrees you set, so the spinning presets spin as designed.
- Fonts with several styles now draw the style you pick. On the Mac, Courier New Bold was drawn as a larger Courier; on Windows, some styles came out in another face (Open Sans Condensed Bold was wide) or drew nothing (some Segoe UI Variable styles).
- Textizo no longer runs a background clean-up script when a node loads.
- Import Style now also brings characters you gave another font or style in the styler's Character Level Styling.
- Chinese, Japanese and Korean fonts such as Noto Serif SC, Noto Sans HK and Yu Gothic now draw their own characters in the style you pick. Before, Textizo could draw them in another font.
v1.1 Textizo v1.1
Textizo v1.1 adds more languages, a Direction choice and Sync to Speech; your saved comps and presets keep working.
What's New in 1.1
- Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese, Japanese and Korean text. Arabic letters join, Arabic and Hebrew read right to left (Latin words and numbers inside them stay left to right), and accents and vowel marks stay on their letters.
- If your font has no letters for a script, Textizo draws them with an installed font that has them.
- Direction on the In and Out pages: Reading Order (the text's own order), Left to Right or Right to Left.
- Sync to Speech on the In page: key the Words Shown slider to the voice, one key per word, and each word appears on its key.
- With Motion Blur on, frames where nothing moves render about 1.4 times faster.
Bug Fixes
- Text now shows on the Fusion page of timeline clips with head handles. Before, presets with Out animations could show nothing there (fixed on 29 October).
