Endless looks. One node.
Every title on this sphere is Text Maker, just with different picks. Grab it and spin.Every look comes out of the same node, just with different picks.
Everything in five tabs.
Controls, Animation, Presets, Effects and Support. The whole plugin lives in the Inspector, on the Edit page and in Fusion, and the chapters below walk you through what it can do.
- 01 Controls Text, spacing, layout, rotation, color, Character Level Styling and mask.
- 02 Animation Animation Center, Animation Effects, Save Preset and Modifiers.
- 03 Presets Factory Presets and your own My Presets.
- 04 Effects Shadow, Stroke, Glow, Highlight, Outline, Bevel, Light Sweep, Impact and Motion Blur.
- 05 Support Performance, Image, Personalization, Help and updates.
Pick a move. Try it yourself.
The Animation Center, rebuilt in your browser with the plugin's own controls. Pick a type, an order, a direction and an easing, then press play. In Resolve it's the Animation tab.
Tap or click the line to add a point, drag its arms to bend the curve. Past 1 or below 0 gives overshoot.
Then stack more on top.
Six Animation Effects spice up any entrance: Fade, Blur, Size, Rotation, Color Change and Wobble. Turn on one or all six. Five of them play in, out or both, and Wobble never stops.
Then let something else drive.
Physics squashes and stretches letters with the motion's own speed, Sequence Cam flies a camera from word to word, and Proximity makes letters react to a point you move. One switch turns all three off, and On brings every setting back.
Make your
text move.
Custom opens Stretch, Squash, Swing, Wobble Speed and Wobble Decay.
Six arrangements, three camera moves and a Pull Back that reveals the whole layout. Type locks to Word while it runs.
Move your pointer over the text. Nine effects in the plugin, and in Bitmap mode an image drives them.
Recorded in DaVinci Resolve The same modifier on a real timeline.
Presets never touch your modifiers. Load any look and Physics, Sequence Cam and Proximity stay exactly as you set them.
Or start from a finished look.
Start from one of 24 factory presets: 14 Regular and 10 Special. Special presets bring controls of their own, from six typewriter cursors to a counter with 59 suffixes, and every value stays yours to change.
Make it once. Keep it forever.
Dial in a look, give it a name and save it. It waits under My Presets in every project on your computer, ready in one pick.
My Preset
- None
- Everything what it saves The whole Animation tab: Enter, Exit, all six Animation Effects and your curves.
- Every project where it lives One library on your computer, ready in every project and every Text Maker node.
- One pick how it comes back Choose it under My Presets and the whole look loads in.
Finish it in the same node.
Nine effects live on the Effects tab, from Shadow to Motion Blur, and every one follows each letter's motion. One switch shows the clean text, and every setting waits for you.
Glow
A bloom in each pixel's own color, gradients and rainbows included.
Shadow
Drop, Soft or Inner, each with its own Strength, Angle, Distance and Softness.
Bevel
A raised edge lit by a light you angle or set to orbit.
Light Sweep
Up to four shines that loop with no keyframes.
Outline
Hollow letters that keep their color, gradients included.
Highlight
A rounded box behind each letter, word or line that moves with it.
Stroke
A band around the letters, or a border for the Highlight box.
Motion Blur
Real sub-frame blur, even on Edit page titles.
Styles
Gold, Nuclear and Shiny Bevel, finished looks ready to drop on a title.
Then break it.
Impact replaces the exit. Once the title has done its job, break it like glass, blow the letters apart with spin or drop them under real physics.
Glass shards, up to 90, small at the point of impact and larger at the edges. Every effect rides on the shards. Every letter blown apart with spin, fast off the mark and easing to a stop. Letters fall with real rigid body physics, bounce, tumble and pile on a floor, on the solid parts of an image, or out of frame.
Give it a shape.
Four layout types in one node. Keep a normal text block, wrap it in a box that shrinks the text to fit, bend it around a ring or send it along a curve you draw.
-
Text A normal text block, lines as you type them.
-
Box Wraps whole words, never splitting one.
-
Circle Text on a ring, each letter facing its center.
-
Path Rides a curve you draw with a Polygon in Fusion.
Style any part of your text.
Choose the whole text, a letter, a word or a line, one by number or a whole range, and give it a look of its own. Three examples are playing here.
- Target
- Text
- Letter
- Word
- Line
- Pick
- One by number
- A range
- Restyle
- Font and Style
- Size
- Position
- Color or Gradient
- Slots
- Three at once
- The later slot wins where they overlap
The text stays one node. Styled sizes follow the main Size when it animates, and one Reset clears all three slots.
Same title. Two workflows.
On the left, a title animated by hand with Text+ and keyframes. On the right, the same title in Text Maker.

Thank you.
Your review is up on this page now, and it already counts in the rating.
I'm Adam. I edit every day in DaVinci Resolve, and I built Text Maker because I was sick of rebuilding the same title animation in Fusion for every single project. Now I drop Text Maker on the timeline, tweak it to my liking, and get back to the edit.
