Allavio

Overview

Allavio sells customizable templates for DaVinci Resolve, spanning titles, transitions, effects, and other assets for video projects. It suits editors and creators who want to build motion graphics inside Resolve, especially those comfortable choosing templates one at a time. Its free sample and $14.99 one-time templates make it easy to start small, but compatibility varies by item.

Key features

The catalog covers titles, transitions, effects, infographics, openers, overlays, social media assets, tools, and video displays. Most templates allow adjustments to text, fonts, colors, animation, shadows, and glows, giving editors room to align assets with a project’s look rather than use them unchanged.

Most items are DRFX files installed by double-clicking. Text Animator is the exception: it requires the free Allavio Hub desktop app and DaVinci Resolve 19 or later, and works on macOS and Windows. Check each item’s requirements before buying; Text Animator is not suitable for older Resolve versions or other operating systems.

Templates are made for DaVinci Resolve using Blackmagic Design’s Fusion software. The catalog includes HD and 4K assets, editable source files, a commercial license, and per-item downloads. The free catalog includes a sample with 10 motion graphic titles and a Highlighter Effect, both priced at $0.00. Allavio says it offers personalized support, including one-to-one video calls and tutorials, for both free and paid products. It also promises a full refund if a template fails to work as expected or unresolved technical issues prevent its use.

Pricing

Allavio uses a freemium, per-item model rather than a subscription for its listed templates. Free templates cost nothing and include the sample titles and selected items; listed free items require DaVinci Resolve 19 or later. The free catalog is a useful way to try a small selection, but it does not unlock the paid catalog.

Titles & effects templates cost $14.99, paid once. Each purchase is an individual DaVinci Resolve template, and requirements vary by product. This suits buyers with a specific need who prefer a one-time purchase; it is less compelling for anyone seeking broad access through a recurring library plan. There is no free trial.

Platforms

Allavio is listed for macOS, Windows, and the web, but its templates are designed for DaVinci Resolve rather than as standalone editing software. Text Animator specifically supports macOS and Windows and requires Resolve 19 or later. Confirm the requirements for the individual template before downloading.

Who it's for

Allavio is aimed at filmmakers, editors, videographers, and content creators, including film and YouTube creators. It is a good fit for Resolve users who want editable titles or effects and are willing to select assets individually. It is not the right choice for someone who needs templates for a different editing application or wants a subscription covering an entire library.

Pros and cons

• Pros: A broad range of template categories gives Resolve editors options for titles, transitions, social content, and more.
• Pros: Most templates expose key visual controls, while editable source files and a commercial license support customization and commercial projects.
• Pros: Free sample items, personalized support, and a stated full-refund policy for nonworking templates reduce the risk of trying the catalog.
• Cons: Purchases are per item, so building a larger collection means selecting and buying templates individually.
• Cons: Requirements vary by template; Text Animator’s Resolve 19-or-later requirement rules out older versions.
• Cons: Text Animator requires a separate desktop app, unlike most templates, which install as DRFX files.

Alternatives

Motion Graphics Template Libraries is a useful starting point for comparing template catalogs. Choose MotionVFX if a free trial and its DesignStudio collection of 8,000+ motion design elements and 100+ template collections better suit your search. ProductionCrate may fit editors who need broader libraries and can work within the free plan’s five downloads per day or prefer PRO at $49 a month.

Choose Videobolt if you want a web-based template workflow with a free trial and its Lite Unlimited plan’s 720p output, 24fps, and 20GB cloud storage. Artlist Templates may suit buyers seeking templates alongside footage and LUTs in a broader media subscription. Pixel Film Studios offers unlimited downloads even on its free Starter plan, making it a different option for users prioritizing volume.

Storyblocks is worth considering for a paid library with unlimited downloads of footage and templates. Jitter is a web-based alternative for motion design, with a free tier capped at three workspace files and 720p, 30fps exports. Mixkit is a free option for unlimited downloads without attribution or sign-up.

Verdict

Allavio is best for DaVinci Resolve editors who want customizable titles and effects, prefer one-time purchases, and value editable source files and commercial use. Its broad catalog, free sample, and per-item pricing make targeted buying straightforward. Look elsewhere if you need templates for another editor, a subscription library, or assurance that every item supports your Resolve version.
