and saving it as a template
to use it on your future projects.
What's going on guys?

On my previous video,
I was showing how to create this animated title
in adobe premiere pro,
so if you are premiere pro user,
makesure to check that video out.
The link is in the description section.
On this video, I'm going to create
that animated title in DaVinci Resolve 16
and also I'm gonna make it more professional
by adding some motion blur to it.
This is wonderful that we can use motion blur,
even on the free version of DaVinci Resolve.
and at the end, I'm going to show you
how to save this title as a template
to use on your future videos.
So without further ado let's jump into it.
To start the process, we need a Fusion Composition
so make a right-click on Media Pool
and choose New Fusion Composition.
Add a name to it and hit Create.
Drag it to the timeline and make sure
it starts from at the beginning of the clip.
Go to the Fusion page.
We need to add the elements we want
and make connections between them and the mediaout1
to create the final effect.
First, we need a text node
so, click on this T icon to add a text node.
Drag a line from the text node output
to mediaout1 input.
Now, select the text node
and start to type your text
in the Styled Text box.
Change the default font to any font you want
and make the Text bigger.
Anything we add to this page
will show up on the timeline too.
To add another text select the text node we have,
you can click on the text icon
or hit Shift and Space and search for the text.
Select the Text+ and add it to the project.
Type your second line
and move it under the first line.
Let's make it full-cap
then change the font and the size.
Let's add some Tracking to it
to make it more cinematic
and adjust it
to make it match with the first line length.
Now, we need a line.
To create that hit Shift and Space
and search for Background
and add it to the project.
Let's move the nodes
so we can understand them better.
Change the background color
and to transform it to a line
we need a rectangle mask.
Make sure the background node is selected
then hit Shift and Space again
and search for Rectangle.
Decrease the Width size
to make it slimmer
and Heigth size to match it with the texts.
0.3 is a good amount.
Move it up and down
to make the top and bottom even
then move it to the left side of the texts.
I want to move this line
to the right and left
and make the texts comes and goes with it.
To start, move to the first frame.
I want the line comes from nowhere
so click on this diamond to add a keyframe,
change the height to zero to make the line disappear.
Go 5 frames forward
and set the Height to 0.3 again.
This is our first animation.
Now go 3 frames forward
and add a keyframe for the Center.
Go 7 frames forward again
and move the line to the right side of the text.
Move 3 frames forward again
and add another keyframe
to make a gap between the movements.
Move 7 frames forward again
and add another keyframe.
Select one of the keyframes
when the line is at the left side,
then copy the X parameter,
go to the previous keyframe
and past the X amount.
This is what we create until now.
This is the start of our final animation
and to create the ending part
go forward to about frame 90.
Select the Rectangle Mask and add a keyframe.
Go forward for about 7 frames
and add another keyframe,
Go 3 frames forward
to add the next keyframe
and again go 7 frames forward
for the last keyframe.
We need to move the line to the right side
for the two middle keyframes,
so find a keyframe
that the line is on the right side
and copy the X amount.
Go back to these keyframes
and past the X amount to both of them.
Go 3 frames forward again
and add a keyframe for Height.
Go 5 frames forward again
and move the Height slider
all the way to the left
to make the line disappear again for the ending part.
Let's see what we have until now.
Let's make the line disappear
in the middle part of the animation.
Select the last keyframe of the first part
then go 3 frames forward,
add a keyframe for Height.
Go 5 frames forward again
and add another keyframe.
Go to the first keyframe of the second part
then go 3 frames backward,
add a keyframe again for height
then go 5 frames backward again
and add another keyframe.
Set the Height for the two middle keyframes to Zero
and this is the final line movement.
Next step is to make the texts
appear and disappear with the line,
to achieve that we need to add some mask to the texts
and move them with the line.
Go to the frame that the line starts to move
to the right side for the first time
then select the first text.
Let's rename the texts first.
Select the Cinematic Text node
and hit Shift and Space,
search for rectangle and add it to the text.
Increase the Width
to have enough room to work with.
Move it to the left side of the line
and make sure the right line of the mask
is on the line.
Add a keyframe for Center
then go 7 frames forward
to the point that the line stops at the left side.
Move the mask
and put the right side on the line again.
Go to the point
that the line starts to move to the right side
for the last time at the ending part.
Click on this little dot
to add a keyframe,
go 7 frames forward again
until the line stops at the right side
then move the mask to put the right side of it
on the line again.
This is what we have until now.
For the next line,
First, go to the frame
that the line is at the right side of the texts.
Select the Davinci node
and add a rectangle to it.
Increase its width
then find the frame
that the line starts to move to the left side.
Add a keyframe for the Center
and move the mask to the right side of the line.
Make sure that the left side of the mask
is on the line.
Move 7 frames forward and move the mask
to put the left side on the line again.
Go forward to find the frame
that the line starts to move to the right side again,
add a keyframe the go 7 frames forward
to the point that the line stops at the right side.
Move the mask again
and put the left side on the line.
Let's see what we have until now.
This animation is now available
on the Edit page too.
We can refine the line movement
and add some motion blur to it
to make the animation more pleasing to the eyes.
Go back to the Fusion page,
select the line and open the Spline panel.
Let's make the pannel a bit bigger
and select the line
then select the Height.
Select the dots and add an S curve
to the vertical lines.
Make sure to not make changes
to the horizontal lines.
The vertical line is the times
that the line appears and disappears on the screen.
That's fine, let's close the Spline pannel.
We can add motion blur to the line too.
This will increase the softness of the movements
and make the effect more pleasing to the eyes.
Click on this Setting icon
and check the Motion Blur.
The default settings are too much
so play with the settings
to find the settings you like the most.
I think it too much again,
let's decrease the Shutter Angle to about 25,
I think it's good enough.
This is the final effect.
We can save this title as a template to use on future projects.
To do that
select all the nodes except the mediaout1,
make a right-click, go to Macro
and hit Create Macro.
On this panel, we can select the parameters
that we want to make changes in the future,
for example, let's select our texts,
Davinci and Cinematic
and select some of the parameters of the text
to add to the template.
You cannot change these parameters in the future
so make sure to add as many as parameters
you think it is needed.
Click on the Close and Save the changes.
Go to the Templates, Edit, Titles.
Choose a name for the title and hit Save.
On the Effects Library, you can find your title
but you have to restart the DaVinci
to load your new title.
Let's close the DaVinci and hit Don't save
and reopen it.
Go to the Effects Library
and search for your title
then drag it to your timeline.
To make any changes
select it and in the Inspector panel,
you can change any parameter you selected before.
Let's change the first text and its color.
Now we have another animated title.
