DaVinci Resolve's latest major update introduces the Photo page (beta).
There is little reason to purchase Stillmate at the moment.
Please treat this site as a curiosity — a project someone once built.
We'll get in touch if Stillmate is updated in light of the latest DaVinci Resolve release.

FAQ
- Does it work with the free version of DaVinci Resolve?
- No. The paid version, DaVinci Resolve Studio, is required.
- What OS and versions are supported?
- macOS 26.0 or later. Tested with DaVinci Resolve ver.20. (Versions below 20 may differ in native format support, so we recommend updating to the latest version.)
- What languages are supported?
- The application is primarily built in English. The terminology used is familiar to photography enthusiasts, so Japanese-speaking users can use it comfortably as well.
- What are the TIFF conversion specs?
- Converts to ACEScg (AP1/Linear). Supports 16-bit and 32-bit float. If using your own grading system, please apply a color space transform via a node.
- Operations feel slow
- Due to performance limitations on the DaVinci Resolve side, some operations in Stillmate may feel slow (especially with a large number of nodes). Please verify this during the trial period. Note that DCTL operations tend to be relatively lightweight.
- Changing the photo aspect ratio causes the DaVinci Resolve UI to break
- Go to DaVinci Resolve Preferences → User → UI Settings, and uncheck "Use UI layout optimized for vertical video."
- Does it support video files?
- Not currently. We may consider adding support if there is sufficient demand.
- Do you have XXX feature? / I found a bug
- Please contact us via X or takumarublog@gmail.com and we'll do our best to help. You can update the app anytime from the update button in the application menu.
- Is there a monthly fee?
- No. It's a one-time license purchase.
- Can I get a refund?
- As a digital product, refunds are not accepted except in the case of critical errors. Please contact us via X or takumarublog@gmail.com first. If the issue cannot be resolved through an update, we will process a refund. A 3-day trial is available, so please verify that it works on your setup before purchasing a license.

- A receipt is issued by Stripe and sent to the email address provided at checkout.
