What you get

Make more shots. Spend less. Stay in your edit.

Three reasons editors keep it open all day.

Free on your own GPU

Try a shot ten times, or a hundred. ComfyUI runs on your GPU right inside Resolve, sets itself up in one click, and never sends a bill.

Cents per image, dollars per video

Pay the provider’s own price per generation with your key, on fal.ai, Higgsfield or Comfy Cloud. No plan to cancel and no credits that run out.

Straight onto your timeline

Every result lands at the playhead or in the Media Pool. No downloading, converting or relinking, ever.

Pay once for the software: €59, with every update included. What you spend on renders goes to the provider you pick, and we take no cut.

“One of the best digital purchases I’ve ever made, if not the best.”

“Being able to try again and again, experiment as much as I want, and actually get great results without credits, monthly or yearly subscriptions, contracts or any other limits is priceless. ComfyUI itself is incredibly powerful, but you need to know it… This plugin makes the whole process so much easier. It is genuinely one of the best digital purchases I’ve ever made, if not the best.”

Your GPU is the render farm.

Pick This computer in Settings ▸ Engine. The plugin finds ComfyUI, starts it, keeps it healthy and shows you only the models your machine can run.

ComfyUI
Powered by ComfyUI, zero setup

Finds ComfyUI on any port, starts it in the background and repairs itself after ComfyUI updates. Portable installs and your own start script work too. No custom nodes, no terminal, no graphs to build.

  • 100% free renders. Unlimited, no credits, no cloud bill.
  • Private by design. Footage, references and prompts never leave your machine.
  • MiniMax H3 and H3 Omni Ref, Wan 2.2, LTX 2.3 & 2.5, FLUX.2, Qwen-Image 2512, Z-Image, SDXL, Hunyuan3D 2.0, plus ACE-Step 1.5 XL, MiniMax Music 3 and Stable Audio 3 for sound. One-click downloads, with the memory each one needs shown up front.
  • Settings on every model. Seed, steps, sampler, scheduler and guidance, or let Suggest settings fill them in.
  • Windows (NVIDIA) and Apple Silicon. The right build of every model, per platform.
  • No big GPU? Use a PC at home, RunPod or Vast.ai: Settings ▸ ComfyUI server ▸ Another machine walks you through it. Or Comfy Cloud runs the same open models on hosted GPUs, billed per render.

Every top model. One picker.

Three engines: fal.ai, Higgsfield, and ComfyUI on your own GPU or on Comfy Cloud. Switch in Settings ▸ Engine and the lists change to match. You only ever see what the engine you chose can run, priced before you press Generate.

An assistant that builds in Resolve.

Ask in plain words. It plans the job, shows you the card, and builds it on the Edit, Fusion, Color, Fairlight or Deliver page, with Undo.

Kevin

“I built this because I was tired of leaving Resolve twenty times a day just to generate what I needed. Now it is all inside the software, and every generated clip lands directly on my timeline. It saves me time on every project, and instead of paying for expensive subscriptions or wasting unused credits, I only pay for what I actually generate. I hope it saves you as much time as it saves me.”

Kevin Vandermarliere · VFX artist & creator of AI Video Studio

Before you ask.

Do I need Resolve Studio?

No. Both editions are in the download and use the same license key. Resolve Studio gets the plugin: a panel inside Resolve under Workspace ▸ Workflow Integrations that reads the clip under your playhead directly. Free Resolve gets the standalone app: its own window beside Resolve with the same apps and models, linked to your timeline through a built-in bridge. Press Connect to DaVinci Resolve once and every result can go straight to your timeline or Media Pool.

On the free Resolve, use version 21.0 (21.0.4 is the latest). Blackmagic turned off external scripting in the free 21.1, so no app can link to your timeline there: you would have to drag every result in by hand. If you already updated, install the free 21.0.4 from blackmagicdesign.com; your projects stay as they are. Resolve Studio works on every version, 21.1 included.

Own Studio? Install both. They share settings, and running both counts as one computer on your license.

What’s new in 3.1.9?

New in 3.1.9

  • Higgsfield, a third cloud engine: Cinema Studio 4.0, Soul, Kling, Seedance, Wan, MiniMax and more, with Higgsfield’s own price beside every Generate
  • Presets in the assistant: over 20 ready-made jobs, from cutting silences to a colour look
  • A captions designer with 13 looks, built over your whole timeline on a track of its own
  • Elements: your characters, objects, locations and styles, called with @ in any prompt
  • Talking character in Sound Design: a picture speaks your voice-over, lip-synced
  • Productions step by step: spec ad, social reel, explainer, title sequence and motion design promo from one brief
  • New models: Qwen Image 3, MiniMax H3 Omni Ref and Turbo, ElevenLabs Music v2.5 and v3 Dialogue, Tripo H3.1, Meshy 7.1, Rodin Gen-2.5, Trellis 2, ACE-Step 1.5 XL, Stable Audio 3 Medium
  • Drag clips from Resolve’s timeline or Media Pool onto any picture spot, Node Studio or the assistant; copy and paste pictures and videos
  • One Approvals switch: ask before every change, or only before spending money
  • Settings ▸ Usage shows your ChatGPT and Claude plan limits, and Other apps connects Claude or Codex in one press
  • Faster and lighter: each project in its own file, and almost no processor use at rest

Improvements in 3.1.8

  • The assistant builds in Resolve: markers, tracks, titles, captions, node trees, grade versions and render jobs, with Undo
  • Your ChatGPT or Claude subscription as the assistant’s brain, with no API key
  • GPT Image 2.5, Angles as a panel, and Fix-it for offline clips and missing fonts

New since V3

  • Complete UI redesign
  • Node-based workflow for video and images
  • Camera and lighting settings
  • Drag and drop into the Edit timeline and Fusion

Updates are free for life. The app tells you when one is ready: Settings ▸ Check for updates.

Windows, Mac or Linux?

All three. Windows and Mac get the plugin and the app. Linux gets the standalone app, because Blackmagic does not allow panels there. Apple Silicon and Intel Macs run the same universal build.

One exception: DaVinci Resolve from the Mac App Store cannot run scripts at all, so nothing can connect to it. Install the free Resolve from blackmagicdesign.com instead. Your projects are untouched.

What does a generation cost?

Cloud renders run on your own fal.ai or Higgsfield key. You pay them per render, at their own price shown before you press Generate, and we take no cut. A Higgsfield render that fails or is refused is not charged. The estimate sits on the card before you press Generate, quoted from your actual clip, with the 4K finish as its own line. You see the exact charge in your fal dashboard every time.

  • Images — usually a few cents each.
  • Video — priced per second of output, so a short clip is typically tens of cents and a long 1080p clip on a top model costs more.
  • Your own GPU — free and unlimited. Comfy Cloud is billed in credits per render.
How does local rendering work, and what does my GPU need?

Pick This computer in Settings ▸ Engine. The plugin finds ComfyUI on any port, starts it if it is not running, and shows only the models your machine can run. Downloads live in Settings ▸ Local models, one click each, with the memory each model needs shown up front. You never build a node graph.

  • 8 GB VRAM — SDXL, Z-Image, Wan 2.2 5B video at 720p
  • 12 GB+ — FLUX.1, LTX 2.3 at 720p
  • 16 GB+ — FLUX.2 Klein, Qwen-Image at full speed, LTX at 1080p
  • 24 GB (3090 / 4090 / 5090) — everything, including LTX native 1080p with audio and Wan 14B video-to-video

32 GB of system RAM is comfortable, 64 GB for the largest models. Apple Silicon is supported: the Mac build of each model downloads automatically. No big GPU? Point it at another machine (a PC at home, RunPod or Vast.ai), or use Comfy Cloud, which runs the same open models on hosted hardware.

Which AI models are included?

Cloud via fal.ai: Seedance 2.5 and 2.0, Kling 3.0 Pro and 4K, Kling O1, MiniMax H3 and H3 Max, LTX 2.3 and 2.5, Veo 3.1, Gemini Omni Flash, Luma Ray, GPT Image 2, Nano Banana 2 and Pro, Qwen Image 3, Seedream 5, Tripo H3.1, Meshy 7.1, Rodin Gen-2.5, ElevenLabs, Stable Audio 3, MiniMax Music, Lyria 3, talking-character models and more. Cloud via Higgsfield: Cinema Studio 4.0, Soul, Marketing Studio, Grok Imagine and Higgsfield’s own versions of Kling, Seedance, Wan and MiniMax.

Comfy Cloud adds Veo 3.1, Kling v3 Omni, Ideogram 4 and more. See the roster. New models are added as they release, and Lifetime includes every update.

What is the assistant?

A drawer inside every screen, with three tabs. Chat: ask it to set up a 3D → AI render, pick the cheapest model for a 4K vertical, or build directly in Resolve: markers, tracks, titles, captions, node trees, grade versions and render jobs, on the page you pick. Presets: over 20 ready-made jobs, from cutting the silences to captions and a colour look. Make a few choices and press Run. Motion: lower thirds, titles and countdowns, rendered on your computer with no AI, or built in Fusion so every part stays editable.

Settings ▸ Approvals decides whether it asks before every change or only before spending money. Generating an image or a video always waits for your press, and Undo puts everything back.

Brains: your ChatGPT or Claude subscription (no API key), the free NVIDIA brain, any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, or LM Studio and Ollama on your own machine. Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Codex connect in one press from Settings ▸ Other apps.

How many computers can I use it on?

Solo activates on 2 computers, Studio on 5, Facility on 15. Upgrading later keeps your key: the seat count simply grows. The plugin and the app on the same machine count once.

How do I get it after buying?

Instantly. Your license key, the downloads and an install video land in your email the moment payment clears. Updates arrive inside the app: Settings ▸ Check for updates. Not happy within 14 days? Money back.

Stop leaving Resolve.

One panel, eight apps, every top model. Pay once, generate as much as you want.
