Mug TypographyDissect text, animate every part
An OFX plugin for DaVinci Resolve Take full control of text design and animation

TEXT DISSECTION
Break characters down to their component parts
Splits text not just into individual characters, but all the way down to the dots, diacritics, and kanji components that make up each glyph. Control position, color, and motion for every single part.
INTERACTIVE CONTROLS
Direct manipulation in the Viewer
Drag text position, pivot, rotation, scale and more right in the DaVinci Resolve Viewer. Refine your design intuitively, without hunting through inspector parameters.
AUTO ALIGNMENT
Natural re-layout, fully automatic
As characters scale and rotate, their positions are recalculated and realigned automatically. No more nudging characters into place one by one.
COPY & PASTE
Duplicate styles in an instant
Copy fill colors, strokes, keyframes, and other settings from one character or part and paste them onto another in one click. Ideal when applying a consistent look across multiple letters.
STAGGERED ANIMATION
Turn one motion into a sequence
Create an animation on one character, then propagate it across characters or parts with an automatic time offset. Set a Frame Offset to build cascading, follower-style motion without recreating keyframes for every target.

GRADIENT
Smooth colors built on human perception
Colors are interpolated in perceptually uniform color spaces, producing smooth, vivid gradients free of muddy midtones. Beautiful color transitions with no tedious tweaking.
FILL MATERIAL NEW
Give the letters a surface
Water droplets, glitter, stained glass. Layer a built-in material over the fill and the letters take on a surface - one that builds on the color you chose rather than replacing it.
WRITE ON
Draw text in any order
Reveal text in whatever order you like - down to individual parts. Handwriting-style write-on animations take nothing more than a couple of keyframes.
3D TYPOGRAPHY
Give your text depth
Control depth across the entire text, per character, and even per part. Create text with true perspective.
DEFORM
Built-in animations that just work
A collection of unique animations that deform the character outlines themselves. Tick a checkbox and they come alive - with parameters to fine-tune every detail.
MORPHING
Seamlessly morph between texts
Smoothly transform one string into another. Keyframe the Progress value and you have full control over speed and timing.
LUA SCRIPTING
Animate text with scripts
Build waves, random scatter, and other hard-to-keyframe animations with just a few lines of Lua. The bundled VSCode extension lets you develop and preview without launching DaVinci Resolve.
MUG TYPOGRAPHY MCP
Let AI Build the Effect
AI clients such as Claude and Codex look up Mug Typography's features and Lua scripting API themselves, and check that the script they wrote works. No pasting the reference, no fixing code that does not run.
