What is Quick Resolution Setup?

Quick Resolution Setup is a Blender add-on built for adjusting camera resolution quickly and with minimal effort. Described by its developer as a lazy plugin, it aims to keep your hands on the mouse rather than moving between keyboard and mouse, letting resolution settings be completed through mouse operations alone. The add-on lives in the Properties panel under Output Properties, in the Resolution Format section.

At its core is a set of pre-set common resolution options you can apply directly. A resolution ratio lock lets you enable ratio locking and optionally pick a ratio from a list, so changing one resolution value adjusts the other at the same time. You can also zoom the resolution in or out by 1x, and swap the X and Y values without re-entering them by hand. A preferences option lets you hide the author name by unchecking Display Author Name.

Version 1.1.0 added single resolution lock and resolution setting when selecting a ratio with a locked resolution, alongside optimizations and minor fixes. It is distributed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later and requires no special permissions.

Who is Quick Resolution Setup best for?

Quick Resolution Setup is best for blender users who frequently switch between a few common camera resolutions and want to handle it with mouse operations.

How much does Quick Resolution Setup cost?

Quick Resolution Setup is completely free to download and use.
