Dither earns its place in the aescripts library by combining 1-bit and color dithering with Bayer matrix control and a posterization option in a single DCTL, and its 2.0 update added cross-platform support for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
Dither is a dithering DCTL from Nx Color for DaVinci Resolve, built around 1-bit and color dithering. You can switch between grayscale and full-color dithering to work across a range of visual styles.
Control comes through Bayer matrix sizes of 2×2, 4×4, and 8×8, which customize the level of detail in the dithering patterns. Brightness, contrast, and exposure are adjustable to bring out different tonal qualities and highlights, and a posterization option reduces color depth for bold, simplified color transitions. Sliders and combo box options provide control over every aspect of the effect.
Dither supports macOS, Windows, and Linux, and is Metal, CUDA, and OpenCL compatible, with stated compatibility for DaVinci Resolve 19 and 18. It sits at rank 27 in the aescripts library and is offered with a perpetual, one-time license. A demo video is available on the developer's page.
Dither is best for daVinci Resolve 19 and 18 users who want 1-bit or color dithering with adjustable Bayer matrix patterns, tonal controls, and a posterization option.
Dither is completely free to download and use.
Dither lists compatibility with DaVinci Resolve 19 and 18. As a DCTL for DaVinci Resolve, it applies dithering within those versions using its 1-bit and color modes, Bayer matrix sizes, and posterization option. If you run one of these Resolve releases, the effect and its slider and combo box controls are available to you. For any versions outside 19 and 18, check the developer's page to confirm current support before installing.
Dither supports macOS, Windows, and Linux, and is Metal, CUDA, and OpenCL compatible. This cross-platform coverage arrived with the 2.0 release in November 2024, following the initial 1.0 launch. Whichever of the three operating systems and supported GPU backends you use, the same 1-bit and color dithering, Bayer matrix control, and posterization options apply. For setup details specific to your system, refer to the developer's page.
Dither is listed as free here in the catalog. The developer describes it with a perpetual, one-time license and instant access, so licensing terms may differ from this listing. For current price, license conditions, and download, check the developer's page directly. Once obtained, it works as a DCTL inside DaVinci Resolve 19 and 18 with its full set of dithering and posterization controls.
Dither version 2.0, released November 23, 2024, added support for macOS, Windows, and Linux, along with Metal, CUDA, and OpenCL compatibility. This followed the initial 1.0 release on November 17, 2024. The listed changelog for 2.0 centers on this cross-platform and GPU backend support. For the full version history and any updates beyond 2.0, the developer's page lists the complete release notes.
