Clipizo Typewriter

1. Get the Clipizo Typewriter Pro.drfx package from Clipizo. Open Resolve and load a project.
2. Double-click the .drfx file and confirm Resolve’s installation prompt.
3. Open Edit → Effects → Titles → Clipizo and drag Clipizo Typewriter Pro onto a video track above your footage. Restart Resolve if the new title is not listed.

The installed package is a title in Edit → Effects → Titles → Clipizo. Select the title clip and open Inspector to edit it. Its duration must include the typing interval.

Some controls appear only after choosing the relevant mode.

Typing and cursor

WriteOnSpeed

Changes the automatic typing speed. The reveal uses a repeatable uneven rhythm rather than a perfectly even character rate.

Start At Frame

Sets the frame at which automatic typing starts.

Blinking Frequency

Sets the cursor blink cycle in frames, from 1 to 50. For a steady cursor, type the same character in cursor2 as in cursor1.

cursor1 / cursor2

Sets the two cursor strings that alternate. Leave the second empty for a normal on/off blink, or both empty for no cursor.

Manual Animation / Manual Reveal

Switches off automatic typing and lets Manual Reveal control the reveal count. Keyframe that number for custom timing.

Text styling

Text / Styled Text

Enter the words to display.

Font / Style / Color / Alpha

Chooses the typeface, its face, the text color and transparency. The font must be installed on the machine rendering the project.

Size / Tracking / Line Spacing

Sets letter size, spacing between letters and spacing between lines.

H Anchor / V Anchor / horizontal and vertical justification

Aligns the text left, center or right, and top, center or bottom around its anchor.

Center on Base of First Line

Uses the first line’s baseline as the text’s vertical reference.

Scroll / Scroll Position

Controls the native Text+ scrolling behavior and position.

Emphasis / Underline Position

Adds underline or strikeout and sets the underline offset.

Tab Position / Alignment (repeated tabs)

Sets the location and alignment of each tab stop for tab-separated text.

Orientation

Chooses the text’s writing orientation.

Write On Start / End

Trims the visible text range. This is separate from the template’s automatic typewriter or follower timing.

Transform and layout

Type / Wrap / Clip

Chooses the Text+ layout, wraps text within its frame and optionally clips text outside it.

Center / Center Z

Moves the layout in the image or in depth.

Size / Width / Height (layout)

Scales the whole layout or changes the text frame’s dimensions.

Perspective

Controls perspective for a layout rotated in 3D.

Fit Characters / Position on Path

Fits text to a path and moves it along that path when using path layout.

Rotation Order / X / Y / Z

Chooses the order of the three rotations and their angles.

Color (layout background)

Sets the layout background’s color and alpha, independently of the letters.

Shading (same controls for elements 1–8)

Shading Elements / Select Element / Select / Name / Enabled / Sort By

Chooses one of the eight Text+ shading elements, names or enables it, and changes how the element list is ordered. Each enabled element can be a fill, outline, shadow or border.

Opacity / Blending / Appearance

Sets the selected element’s transparency, overlap behavior and shape type.

Thickness / Adapt to Perspective / Outside Only

Sets outline width, adjusts it with perspective, and restricts it to the outside of the letters.

Clean Intersections / Join Style / Miter Limit / Line Style

Controls how outline intersections, corners and line patterns are drawn. Miter Limit limits long sharp corners.

Level / Extend Horizontal / Extend Vertical / Round

Chooses the text unit used for the element and expands or rounds its border.

Type / Color / Alpha (shading)

Chooses how the selected shading element is filled and its solid color and transparency.

Image Source / Color Image / Color File / Color Brush / Shading Gradient

Chooses an image, file, brush or gradient as the element’s fill instead of a flat color.

Image Sampling / Image Edges

Controls resampling and what happens at the fill image’s edges.

Shading Mapping / Mapping Angle / Size / Aspect / Level

Positions the fill on the text: mapping method, rotation, scale, proportions and whether it maps across characters or a larger text unit.

Softness X / Y / Apply Softness to Fill Color / Glow / Blend

Softens the element horizontally and vertically, optionally includes its fill, and adjusts the soft glow and its blend.

Priority / Offset / Offset Z

Sets stacking order and moves the element relative to the letters.

Angle X / Y / Z / Pivot / Pivot Z

Rotates the element around the selected pivot.

Shear X / Y / Size X / Y

Slants or stretches the element.

Render Path

Controls rendering of a Text+ path when path layout is used.

The title is missing

Install the .drfx through Resolve, then look in Titles → Clipizo, not the OpenFX list. Restart if needed.

Text does not type

Turn Manual Animation off for automatic typing. Check WriteOnSpeed, Start At Frame and that the title clip is long enough. In manual mode, animate Manual Reveal.

Special characters break during reveal

This legacy package slices text by bytes, so multi-byte characters can be split mid-reveal. A font change alone does not fix that limitation. Ask for an updated title package if you need reliable international-character typing.

Cursor never disappears

The expression appends a cursor even after typing finishes. Set cursor1 and cursor2 to empty strings if you do not want one.

1. Close Resolve. In your user Fusion/Templates folder, move only the installed Clipizo Typewriter Pro.drfx to a backup outside the template search path. If installed unpacked, move its Clipizo Typewriter Pro.setting and matching .png from Edit/Titles/Clipizo instead.
2. Windows user Templates: %AppData%\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Support\Fusion\Templates\ . macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/Fusion/Templates/ .
3. Restart Resolve. Keep your existing projects and the original package; remove title clips from a project separately only if you no longer want them.
