Who taught by the pen Qalam FX is a Python Lua Fusion script for DaVinci Resolve that brings two native Arabic motion tools to your titles: a Kashida Stretch effect that elongates real tatweel joins, and a Typewriter reveal/erase with an authentic Arabic cursor. By 1LineArt Studio.

02 · Inside the panel

One script, two animation tools

Kashida Stretch and Typewriter live in the same floating panel as separate tabs, each with its own controls, presets, and Kashida In / Kashida Out (or Type In / Type Out) triggers.

Qalam FX Kashida Stretch tab: text field, motion preset, direction, duration, ease, stagger, overshoot, intensity, max kashida per point (up to 50), falloff and seed controls, with Kashida In / Kashida Out buttons
Kashida Stretch — control panel Motion preset "Cinematic", 2.00s duration, 0.70 ease, 0.10 overshoot, easeInOut falloff.

Qalam FX Typewriter tab: multi-line text field, speed preset, exact speed (up to 500 ch/s), start delay, cursor style, show cursor and natural pause toggles, with Type In / Type Out buttons
Typewriter — control panel "Very Fast" preset at 32.0 ch/s, Tatweel cursor, natural pause at spaces and line breaks enabled.

The two tabs build separate Text+ nodes — KashidaDynamicText and QalamTypewriterText — so the effects never overwrite each other. Use either one alone, or merge both into the same comp for a title that stretches in, then continues as a typed line.

03 · What's inside

Built on real Arabic scribal typography

Every kashida Qalam FX inserts follows traditional joining rules — never through a connecting stroke on a non-joining letter, never inside a Lam-Alef ligature.

✦

Kashida Stretch, 7 motion presets

Soft Elastic, Strong Elastic, Smooth Stretch, Rubber / Spring, Fast Snap, Cinematic and Subtle Reveal — or fine-tune duration, ease, stagger, overshoot, falloff and max kashida per point (up to 50) by hand.

▤

Typewriter reveal & erase

Type In or Type Out any single-line or multi-line paragraph, with a speed preset (Slow to Very Fast) or an exact characters-per-second value up to 500 ch/s, plus an optional start delay.

ـ

Authentic Arabic cursor

Choose the Tatweel (ـ) or isolated Alef (ﺍ) glyph as the typing cursor. Both effects render entirely in Noto Sans Arabic — cursor included — with no separate font control to manage.

↔

Right-to-left, always correct

Every node defaults to a right-anchored, fully-justified text box automatically — there's no alignment control to set. Kashida Stretch still gives you six directions for how the stretch itself animates (Left→Right, Right→Left, Center→Out, Out→Center, Both Sides→Center, Random/Organic), and natural pauses land at spaces and line breaks instead of mid-word.

⎇

Independent Text+ nodes

Kashida Stretch and Typewriter each own a dedicated node (KashidaDynamicText / QalamTypewriterText), so both can sit in one comp without conflicting.

⌁

Global In / Out control

A single Global In/Out range keyframes the whole animation on the tool, so it trims and retimes like any other Fusion effect.

04 · Presets at a glance

Motion & speed presets

Every preset is a starting point — all values remain editable after applying, with max kashida per point adjustable up to 50 and typewriter speed up to 500 ch/s regardless of preset.

05 · Installation

Set up in under two minutes

Qalam FX is a single Lua script with an optional one-click installer for each OS — no external dependencies.

  1. Run the installer for your OS

    Keep the installer in the same folder as QalamFX.lua — it copies that file into Fusion's Comp Scripts folder for you.

    WindowsDouble-click install_windows.bat
    macOS./install_macos.sh (Terminal)
    Linux./install_linux.sh (Terminal)

    On macOS/Linux you may need to make the script executable first: chmod +x install_macos.sh (or install_linux.sh), then run it.

    Prefer to skip the installer? Drop QalamFX.lua into the folder for your OS yourself:

    Windows%APPDATA%\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Fusion\Scripts\Comp\
    macOS~/Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/Fusion/Scripts/Comp/
    Linux~/.local/share/DaVinciResolve/Fusion/Scripts/Comp/

  2. Install Noto Sans Arabic

    Get the font from Google Fonts so the body text and the Tatweel/Alef cursor render correctly everywhere the script writes text.

    ↓ Download Noto Sans Arabic

  3. Open the script from the Fusion page

    With a composition open on the Fusion page, run Workspace > Scripts > Comp > QalamFX. The floating panel opens with the Kashida Stretch and Typewriter tabs ready to use.

  4. Type, pick a preset, animate

    Kashida tab: paste Arabic text, pick a motion preset, click Kashida In or Kashida Out.

    Typewriter tab: paste text, pick a speed and a cursor style (Tatweel or Alef), click Type In or Type Out.

06 · Usage

Working with each tab

Both tools follow the same rhythm: write the text, shape the motion, trigger it.

  • Type or paste Arabic text into the Text field — single line or full paragraph.
  • Pick a Preset for an instant look, or fine-tune Duration, Ease, Stagger, Overshoot and Falloff yourself for a custom feel.
  • Set Max kashida / point (up to 50) to cap how many tatweel characters can stack at any one join, and Seed to vary the distribution between takes.
  • Click Kashida In to animate the stretch on, or Kashida Out to animate it off. Reset removes the animation and leaves plain, unstretched text.
  • Type or paste single-line or multi-line Arabic text into the Text field.
  • Choose a Speed preset (Slow, Normal, Fast, Very Fast, Default) or set an exact characters-per-second value up to 500 ch/s; add a Start delay if the title needs to wait.
  • Pick a Cursor style — Tatweel (ـ) or Alef (ﺍ) — and toggle Show typing cursor and Natural pause at spaces / line breaks.
  • Click Type In to reveal the text, or Type Out to erase it. Reset clears the animation.

07 · Questions

Frequently asked

No third-party plugins — Qalam FX is a single Python Lua script that runs from Workspace > Scripts > Comp. The only extra install is the Noto Sans Arabic font, so the cursor glyphs and body text render consistently.

Yes. Each tab builds its own Text+ node (KashidaDynamicText and QalamTypewriterText), so they can both live in the same comp — for example, a word that stretches in with kashida, followed by a typed subtitle line.

Yes — kashida is only inserted at genuine connecting joins. The script skips non-connecting letters and avoids breaking a Lam-Alef ligature, so the stretched text stays readable and correctly shaped.

No, Qalam FX is a paid script developed by 1LineArt Studio. Visit 1LineArt.com for the latest download and release notes.
