MrAlexTech

MrAlexTech makes DaVinci Resolve tools for editors who want ready-made animation, zoom effects or script management inside their editing workflow. It is a focused choice for Resolve users, but version and Studio requirements make compatibility worth checking before purchase.

Overview

The range centers on three jobs: animating clips and titles, building zoom effects, and running saved scripts from Resolve Studio. That focus suits editors who work in DaVinci Resolve and want these functions there; it is less compelling for anyone seeking a general-purpose motion graphics library.

The strongest entry point is MagicAnimate’s free version: it uses the same motion engine as the full version and has no licence, account or time limit. Paid tools are one-time purchases, but digital sales are generally final, so buyers should confirm their Resolve version and edition before committing.

Key features

Animation and presets

MagicAnimate applies In, Mid and Out moves to clips, logos, webcams and titles without requiring keyframes. That makes it a practical fit for editors who want to add motion without constructing each move manually. The full version adds MagicMove and MagicKeyframe, 159 presets and up to six extra timeline positions; those additions offer more prepared looks and placement options, while the free version keeps the core motion engine.

Zooms and scripts

MagicZoom combines point-based zooms, dynamic camera moves and magnifier-window Pop Out effects, with face tracking. Up to 200 points per clip allows for more elaborate zoom sequences. Face tracking runs on the user's computer; the maker says no frame or face is uploaded and the tool does not identify anyone.

MagicScript manages saved scripts and runs them from within Resolve. Its free price is attractive to Studio users, but it requires DaVinci Resolve Studio 21.1 or later and will not run in the free edition. That restriction rules it out for editors using free Resolve.

Privacy and support

MagicAnimate face detection also runs locally, and the maker says no image, frame or face leaves the computer. The privacy notice says MrAlexTech collects email addresses, hashed device identifiers, machine names and transaction details, and does not sell user data. Payments go through Stripe. Support is available by email and through a Discord community; the How To page directs urgent questions to email while guides and documentation are in progress.

Pricing

MagicAnimate’s free version costs nothing and provides In, Mid and Out moves with the same motion engine as the full version. There is no licence, account or time limit. It is the sensible starting point for editors who want the basic animation workflow; it gives up the full version’s additional tools, presets and timeline positions.

MagicScript costs nothing, with no licence, account or sign-up. It is a useful no-cost option only for users with DaVinci Resolve Studio 21.1 or later.

MagicZoom costs $49.99, paid once, billed as a one-time purchase plus tax where it applies. It includes three effects, 20 zoom styles, up to 200 points per clip, Windows and Mac support, and free updates for life. It fits Resolve editors who need its specific zoom and tracking effects, but is unnecessary for those who only need animation.

MagicAnimate full version costs $49.99, paid once, billed one-time. It includes three effects, over 80 Ins and Outs, 26 Flows, 13 Effects, 40+ Mids, 159 presets, Windows and Mac support, and free updates for life. Choose it when the extra controls and preset range matter; otherwise, the free version retains the same motion engine. A 7-day trial is offered. Digital product sales are final and refunds are not offered, subject to exceptions at the maker's discretion.

Platforms

MagicAnimate and MagicZoom support Windows and Mac and require DaVinci Resolve 21 or later. MagicScript supports Windows and Mac but requires DaVinci Resolve Studio 21.1 or later. Check both the operating system and Resolve edition before choosing a tool; the free Resolve edition does not meet MagicScript's requirement.

Who it's for

MrAlexTech is best for DaVinci Resolve editors who want animation, zoom effects or script management without leaving Resolve. Free MagicAnimate makes it accessible to users who want to start with core motion, while the paid products suit those who specifically need their additional effects, presets or zoom controls. It is not the right fit for users on older Resolve versions, or for free-edition users seeking MagicScript.

Pros and cons

Pros: MagicAnimate’s free version has no account, licence or time limit and shares the full version’s motion engine.

Pros: Both paid products are one-time purchases and include free updates for life.

Pros: MagicAnimate and MagicZoom process face detection or tracking locally, according to the maker.

Cons: MagicAnimate and MagicZoom require Resolve 21 or later, and MagicScript requires the Studio edition at 21.1 or later.

Cons: Digital product purchases are generally final, with refunds only at the maker's discretion under stated exceptions.

Cons: Documentation is still forthcoming, which may frustrate users who want written guidance before contacting support.

Alternatives

Motion Graphics Template Libraries are worth comparing if you want to browse a broader category of template resources.

Choose Adobe Stock if you want a paid asset service with a free trial and plans built around standard assets and rollover credits. ProductionCrate is a better fit if you want broader libraries and downloads across several platforms: its free plan allows five downloads per day, while PRO costs $49 a month for full library access and up to 50 downloads.

Jitter suits people making motion graphics on the web rather than inside Resolve; its free plan caps projects at three workspace files and exports at 720p and 30fps. MotionVFX is another option to compare for a motion-design library, with free and trial access.

Pixel Film Studios may suit Mac users who want downloadable assets and updates: its Starter plan is free and includes unlimited downloads, while Monthly costs $39.99 a month. Videobolt offers a different, cloud-oriented video workflow; its Lite Unlimited plan costs €119.88 a year and limits exports to 720p and 24fps, with videos up to 10 minutes.

Allavio is an alternative for free sample titles and selected templates compatible with DaVinci Resolve 19 and above. The Resolve Store is another place to compare Resolve-focused products, including one-time purchases for LUTs and transitions.

Verdict

Choose MrAlexTech if you edit in DaVinci Resolve and want a focused set of animation and zoom tools, especially if MagicAnimate’s free version covers your needs or its paid additions justify a one-time purchase. Look elsewhere if your Resolve version or edition falls short, or if you need a broader template library rather than tools centered on this editing workflow.
