Best free effects, templates, and plugins made for DaVinci Resolve 19

The free studio of DaVinci Resolve is already more than enough for most editors, but how about adding more helpful plugins to make it even better?

Reactor 3

You can find dozens of scripts and tools in one place - inside the open-source, free-of-cost package manager Reactor 3!

It works in the way that creators upload their plugins to the manager and you can download any chosen one for free(though some creators accept donations). To do this, download Reactor 3 to your PC and open DaVinci Resolve. Go to Workspace>Console and drag the downloaded file to the window.

After that, just reload Resolve and select the Scripts option from the list - here you’ll be able to select and install any plugin you need to Fusion or DaVinci.  

MagicAnimate

Here’s a way to edit your video effortlessly and much quicker - with this specific tool you don’t need to create keyframes and animate your videos manually. Whether you’re an editing newbie or just want to save extra time, MrAlexTech has a great plugin you can use daily.

Once you’ve installed the MagicAnimate tool, you can quickly apply such animations as zoom, spin, whip, or dissolve.

Additionally, you can use a MagicZoom plugin made by MrAlexTech - this one will allow you to apply highly customizable zoom to your clips. Both plugins are incredibly useful! 

EasyEdit Free Templates

And now - free video templates! On the EasyEdit Stock you’ll find dozens of the latest video templates for DaVinci Resolve(and other software programs for editing) with new ones added each month.
