QuickCam documentation

QuickCam is a keyframeless 3D camera animation plugin for DaVinci Resolve.

Product pageUpdated 25 August 2026

How it works

QuickCam animates with a two point system. You set an In value and an Out value, and the plugin animates between them. There are no keyframes to place: you describe where the move starts and where it ends, and it fills in everything between.

That makes going from A to B trivial and going from A to B to C hard, because there are only two states to describe. What you can do is go from A to B and back to A, using the built in spline editor to change, reverse and reshape the path between the two values.

A zoom that pushes in and then pulls back out is the clearest example. Set the spline to start at 0, rise to 1 in the middle, and return to 0 at the end. The move still only has two states, but the curve visits the second one and comes back. The included presets are built this way and are the fastest way to see how the shape of the curve maps to the movement on screen.

Key facts

DaVinci Resolve
DaVinci Resolve 19.1 to 21.0. Works on free and Studio.
How you get it
You can download it from your library at sh4rkk.com/library after logging in with the email tied to your order. If you prefer not to log in, a download page appears right after checkout where you enter the email you used and download the product instantly.
Updates
Updates are free. To update, simply download the latest version again and reinstall it.
License
There is no license key and no online activation. The product is just files you install, so there is no machine limit and nothing that can deactivate.
Performance
The tools are designed first for visual quality and output rather than raw speed, but they are all heavily optimized for fast, near real time performance.
Support
Support is handled on the Paradise Community Discord. Replies usually come within an hour or two, and at most within 8 hours.
Pricing
QuickCam has a free version and a Pro version. The free version includes drag and drop, Fusion and Edit page support, 3D rotation, zoom animation, and the smart spline editor, and does not require the Studio version of Resolve. QuickCam Pro is a one time purchase of $26.90 (no subscription) and adds 20 animation presets, position control, infinite texture support, advanced depth of field, lens distortion, color correction, an advanced lens dust texture compositor, vignette, grain, chromatic aberration, a generator version for the Edit page, lens dust textures, pixel textures, and a procedural pixel engine. All future updates are free for both versions. You may install it on multiple computers, but sharing or distributing the plugin is prohibited.

Notes

Using it

In DaVinci Resolve 21 you may occasionally see a minor visual glitch when first adding the effect; toggle the Input Mode to 'Custom' (and back to 'Media' if needed) to refresh the processing engine. Camera movements are not randomized; every parameter is manually controlled.

Moving from free to paid

If you build a project using the free version and later upgrade to the paid version, in most cases you will need to redo that work in the paid version.

If something goes wrong

If it does not show up after installing, double check the installation method and try the manual installation steps. If it still does not appear, contact sh4rk on Discord or by email.

Manual transform animation requires significant time and technical skill in keyframing. QuickCam Pro eliminates that with a start/end state animation engine that instantly generates smooth camera animations and automatically adjusts them based on your clip length. It also includes a full spline editor for fine tuned motion control, plus a comprehensive suite of effects and customization options that make it one of the most capable and user friendly 3D camera animation plugins available for DaVinci Resolve.

No. Every parameter in QuickCam is manually controlled, giving you full and precise creative control over every animation.

Yes. You can apply QuickCam Pro directly as an effect on a compound clip, integrate it through the Fusion page, or use the Generator version as an adjustment clip placed above your timeline clips for a non destructive workflow.

That is QuickCam.
