Mononodes - Split Screen Mattes DCTLS v1.0 for DaVinci Resolve
https://mononodes.com/split-screen-mattes/
- For editors and colorists, creating professional split-screen layouts has traditionally been a tedious process involving static PNG overlays, complex Fusion compositions, or rigid templates that refuse to scale. The MonoNodes Split Screen Mattes DCTL (v1.0) revolutionizes this workflow by introducing a procedural, fully controllable layout engine designed specifically for DaVinci Resolve Studio. Created by Stefan Ringelschwandtner, this toolset empowers creators to build dynamic, high-end visual compositions directly on the Color Page with unparalleled precision.
- Unlike traditional assets, these DCTLs (DaVinci Color Transform Language) are mathematically generated and live. This means they automatically adapt to any timeline resolution or aspect ratio, ensuring your layouts remain crisp and perfectly aligned whether you are working in 4K, 8K, or vertical formats for social media. By eliminating the need for external image files, MonoNodes provides a cleaner, faster, and more flexible environment for visual storytelling.
- The package includes three distinct DCTL versions—Organic, Steady, and Structur—each tailored to different creative needs. The "Structur" tool is a powerful row-based layout engine that supports up to five rows, with each row containing its own customizable number of panels. This allows for complex, multi-shot arrangements that remain perfectly balanced. Users can intuitively adjust parameters such as width bias, spacing (gutters), and margin size through simple sliders, giving you total control over the geometry of your frame.
- Beyond basic positioning, the MonoNodes Split Screen Mattes offer advanced aesthetic refinements. You can easily adjust the softness of edges or add stylish rounded corners to your mattes, giving your project a modern, sophisticated look. Whether you are aiming for a clean "corporate" grid, a cinematic multi-perspective sequence, or an "organic" experimental layout, these tools provide the versatility to execute your vision without leaving the Color Page.
- Designed for professional workflows on macOS, Windows, and Linux, this DCTL set is compatible with DaVinci Resolve Studio 19.1 and higher. It is more than just a matte—it is a comprehensive layout system that replaces "lazy" static solutions with a robust, professional-grade tool. For those who demand efficiency without sacrificing creative control, the MonoNodes Split Screen Mattes are an essential addition to any post-production toolkit, turning complex paneling into a streamlined, real-time creative process.
