Timeshift Effect PowerGrade and Macro for DaVinci Resolve
The Timeshift Effect emulates the distinctive visual glitch produced by the ARRI Timing Shift Box or an out-of-sync film camera effect.
The ARRI Timing Shift Box is a rare creative tool originally designed to simulate a camera malfunction effect. Traditionally, this unique look appears when a camera’s sensor or shutter desynchronizes, creating beautiful and unpredictable streaking, ghosting, and frame displacement.
This effect has been made popular through music videos, short films shot on film, and recently used as a creative choice by Greig Fraser on Project Hail Mary.
This PowerGrade and Macro recreates that same analog imperfection digitally. It works on any footage and gives you full control over the intensity, timing, and jitter of the effect. You can also keyframe the effect right from the Edit Page.
The Macro comes in two versions: the static Timeshift Effect and the Timeshift Effect with Shake. The shake version of the macro adds an unpredictable jitter to the effect that can be adjusted and keyframed to your desire.

FAQ

Currently, I don't have a solution for other software, though I'm working on putting out a video on how you can get close to the same result in Premiere Pro.
You can get similar results using a directional blur and changing the blend mode, though it will not look the same or be accurate. Exposure will also be affected.

When I made the tutorial video, I had a different installation method. Since then, I've updated the effect to a .drfx file which can be double clicked to install.
If you still run into issues installing, feel free to reach out to me so I can help you solve any problems.

It’s common practice to edit in a lower resolution (like 1080p) for better performance, and then switch your timeline or export settings to a higher resolution (like 4K) when delivering your final video.
However, this can sometimes cause unexpected issues during export.
What You Might See
- Random black frames
- Effects appearing broken only in the final render (but fine in the timeline)
Quick Fix
If you encounter this issue:
- Go to the effect in the Inspector
- Click the Reset button (This forces the macro to reload and re-evaluate at the correct resolution.)
How to Avoid It
- Set your timeline resolution before applying effects, when possible
- Avoid switching resolutions late in the project when using complex macros
- If you must switch, reset your effects before exporting
