Awesome DaVinci Resolve

A curated list of awesome DaVinci Resolve plugins, tools, and resources.

Community-curated by /r/colorists and /r/davinciresolve.

How entries are chosen

For GitHub-hosted tools, we include a repository if it has 10 or more stars, or at least 2 stars and activity within roughly the last two years. Community submissions (via the form or a pull request) are always included regardless of stars. Non-GitHub resources (vendor sites, stores) are judged on relevance rather than stars.

If a tool isn't listed yet, it hasn't been rejected on merit — it may simply be below this threshold for now and will be reconsidered on a future pass. Please still submit it; maintainer discretion always wins over the automatic threshold. Star counts and "updated" notes reflect the most recent sync and will drift over time.
