SarabBrush

SarabBrush is a GPU brush engine with multiple brush types and editable .sarabpath strokes.

Overview

To document

Describe what SarabBrush does, when to reach for it, and the visual result. Add a hero image/GIF here (see Media below).

Adding it to your shot

Apply SarabBrush from the SarabFX category (SarabFX/Draw) in the Effects/OFX library of DaVinci Resolve, Nuke, Natron, or any other OFX-compatible host, then drag it onto your clip/node. (Restart the host after installing new plugins.)

Fill this table with the plugin's real UI parameters (group by the panels shown in the host).

Viewport gizmos

To document

SarabBrush provides an interactive brush gizmo in the viewport for drawing and editing .sarabpath strokes directly on the canvas. Document how to drag/rotate/scale and any modifier keys. Note: overlays render in canonical coordinates scaled by renderScale — see the coordinate-system notes in the internal engineering docs if you're debugging gizmo drift across preview resolutions.

Examples & media

Adding screenshots & videos

Drop assets in docs/assets/plugins/sarabbrush/ and embed them:

  • Image: ![What it shows](../assets/plugins/sarabbrush/example.png)
  • Video: a raw HTML5 block —
    <video controls width="100%"><source src="../assets/plugins/sarabbrush/demo.mp4" type="video/mp4"></video>
    

Tips & troubleshooting

To document

Common pitfalls, performance notes (GPU/frame cache), host-specific quirks. - Strokes are stored as .sarabpath JSON — useful for versioning or sharing brush artwork between shots; document the format and any companion SarabCanvas workflow once finalized.
