Speed ramps
in one click.

A plugin for DaVinci Resolve Studio. Pick a curve and it retimes the clip under your playhead. The clip keeps its length and its first and last frame. Only the speed inside changes.

Live demo

Try the real thing

This is the plugin's own interface, running on a sample clip. Click a preset, drag the points, switch tabs. Nothing here touches Resolve.

The demo needs a wider screen. Above is a still of the graph editor.

Features

Everything a speed-ramp edit needs

12 ready curves

Fast-slow-fast, speed up, slow down, pushes, mid reverse and boomerangs. One click applies one.

Live curve editor

Drag points and handles and the clip updates as you go. Undo per clip, save your own presets.

Real frames in the slow parts

Speed the clip up first, say to 600%. The slow stretches of a ramp then land near 100% and show real frames, not stretched ones.

Optical flow

One switch turns on Fusion's optical flow for smooth in-between frames when you need them.

Motion blur

Zoom or directional blur over an adjustment clip. It fades in and out, peaking at the start, middle or end.

Transition effects

Shake, warp, chromatic aberration and glow across a cut, each with its own strength.

How it works

Three steps on your timeline

  1. 1

    Speed the clip up

    Use Retime Controls (⌘R) so the clip fits the beat, for example at 600%.

  2. 2

    Park the playhead

    Ramp Me always works on the clip under the red playhead. The window stays on top of Resolve.

  3. 3

    Click a curve

    The ramp lands right away. Tweak it in the graph, or put an adjustment clip over the cut for blur and effects.

Under the hood

Resolve's scripting can't change clip speed, so Ramp Me builds a Fusion TimeStretcher inside the clip with a keyframed source time. The edit page speed is applied after Fusion, so your timeline length and in and out points never move. Your own Fusion nodes stay where they are.
