FX Trippy DCTL earns its place in the aescripts library at rank 18, offering footage-driven cyberpunk silhouette glitches, VHS-like tearing, and mirages as a DCTL effect for DaVinci Resolve Studio.
FX Trippy DCTL is a DCTL effect for DaVinci Resolve that produces footage-driven cyberpunk silhouette glitches, VHS-like tearing, mirages, and more. It runs in DaVinci Resolve Studio and is compatible with DaVinci Resolve 21, 20, and 19.
Version 1.1.0, released June 25, 2026, extends DCTL usability beyond full-frame distortions. New features include Rndm Every X Frame, which generates new random values every X frames for Rndm parameters; Flickering, which randomly bypasses the effect at a user-defined frequency; Transparent, which improves Threshold usability on the Edit page; and Protect Input Mask, which prevents displacement from moving the input mask. This release also improves the randomisation algorithm for Harsh Grain and fixes alpha channel behaviour, so masks can isolate objects for distortion.
Listed at rank 18 in the aescripts library, FX Trippy DCTL is a script-based effect for glitch and distortion work in DaVinci Resolve Studio. A demo video is available on the developer's page.

FX Trippy DCTL version 1.1.0, released June 25, 2026, introduces features that extend DCTL usability beyond full-frame distortions. New additions include Rndm Every X Frame, which generates new random values every X frames for Rndm parameters; Flickering, which randomly bypasses the effect at a user-defined frequency; Transparent, which improves Threshold usability on the Edit page; and Protect Input Mask, which prevents displacement from moving the input mask. The update also improves the randomisation algorithm for Harsh Grain and fixes alpha channel behaviour so masks can isolate objects for distortion.
FX Trippy DCTL can isolate objects for distortion using masks, thanks to a fixed alpha channel behaviour in version 1.1.0, which extends the effect beyond full-frame distortions. The Protect Input Mask feature prevents displacement from moving the input mask, though new opaque pixels can still be added. Combined with the Transparent option, which makes the source transparent or opaque where Threshold removes lines on the Edit page, these controls give more targeted use of the footage-driven glitch effects. See the developer's page for full parameter details.
