LyroType is a macro for DaVinci Resolve that animates text character by character — like a typewriter, but built for the edit. It includes optional keyboard typing sounds and a slider to set your writing speed so you can be done in seconds.

DaVinci Resolve 18.6 or later (Studio version*), running on macOS — Windows version coming soon. LyroType is distributed as a .drfx file — no plugins or additional software required.

*Studio version is required for full usability. The Free version of Resolve does not allow scripts to place audio on the timeline. All other functionality works on the Free version — upgrade to Studio and audio generation is ready immediately.

Download the .drfx file from your purchase confirmation. Double-click it — Resolve will install it automatically.

The keyboard sound samples install separately. A one-click installer is included in your download — run it once and the samples will be in the right place.

In the Effects panel, open Titles → Lyro → LyroType and drag it onto your Edit page timeline, just like a Text+ clip. Set your text and options in the Inspector on the right.

In the LyroType Inspector, adjust the Typing Speed slider. Lower values produce a slower, more deliberate type-out; higher values speed it up.

Not yet — but watch this space. We want to get LyroType into your hands and hear how you're using it before we design the preset system. Keep an eye on the vote board for progress.

LyroType works with any font installed on your system. Set your font in the Style section of the LyroType Inspector. Each sound pack ships with its own default font — keep it or swap it out, your call.

Keyboard sounds are placed on your timeline when you press the Generate button. If you don't want audio, simply skip that step — or delete the audio track after generating.

Adjust the volume on the LyroType audio track using the Mixer panel. If you can't see it, click Mixer in the top-right of the Edit page to toggle it on.

A few things to check: make sure Export Audio is enabled in your Deliver page settings, confirm the LyroType audio track isn't muted and no other track is soloed, and make sure you've actually pressed Generate with the playhead over the clip before rendering.

No. LyroType renders like any other audio track. Use your usual Deliver page settings — no special configuration required.

LyroType places audio as accurately as the timeline allows at any frame rate. On high-framerate timelines, there's occasionally a hair of offset between a character appearing and its sound — this follows standard sound design practice and won't be noticeable in a finished piece. We've put the timing through its paces across 24, 25, 29.97, and 60fps and the timing holds on all of them.
