What it is

What it does

Drop it on any clip and the picture becomes part of a surface: glued poster paper, crumpled or folded paper, a cracked wall, dry mud, lace, printed or terminal text, or ribbed and block glass. The surface is lit, so wrinkles and cracks shade the picture itself, the print wears off on the ridges, and every texture comes with a colour grade that suits it. Type your own words for the text looks, and it plays in real time in free Resolve.

10 textures: Sticky, Crumpled and Folded Paper, Wall and Dry Crack, Lace, Printed and Terminal Text, Ribbed Glass, Glass Blocks
The picture is printed on the material, not drawn over it: lit wrinkles, worn print, paper tooth
Every texture comes with its own matching colour grade, or pick any grade yourself
Light Angle, Depth, Scale, Rotation and Variation to make it sit right
Type your own words for Printed and Terminal Text
Grain, Dust & Hair and Edge Burn to finish
Stop-motion option: a new texture every few frames
Runs on your GPU and works in free Resolve

Tips

Faces look best with Amount around 0.7 to 0.9.
Set Light Angle to the same side as the light in your shot so the surface looks real.
Lace and text show best on lit parts: keep Show More on Bright Parts up.
Texture Moves on New Every 3 Frames gives a stop-motion print feel.
Try a different Colour Grade: Warm Gold suits almost any paper.
After updating, delete the effect from your clip and drag it on again.

Troubleshooting

If something's off

It isn't in the Effects library. Restart Resolve after installing. Still missing? Use the manual install path above.
It looks different from the demo. Check you're on Resolve 21, then compare your Inspector settings with the defaults in the guide.
Known issues: Textures has two parts, so double-clicking only the .drfx is not enough. Use the installer. Windows has not been tested yet. If it misbehaves, tell us.
