I'm Alexis van Herkman
and welcome to Resolve in a Rush,
where you'll learn DaVinci Resolve
grading and finishing techniques
in under 5 Minutes.
In this episode
we're going to take a look at how you can create animated titles
inside of DaVinci Resolve
without having to go to any other app to do it.
So let's get started.
If I open up the Toolbox,
and you can see I've got some title pages
that I can pull up, these are
simple generators.
So I'll edit two of them into the Timeline
and, if I double-click any of these
I go straight to the Inspector.
I will edit the text,
with the title of this project,
an unwanted job is the name of the project,
and so now selecting each one of these items
in the Timeline
as long as I have my Transform
handles turned on in the viewer
I can go ahead and just drag these
around
where ever I want them to be.
And with each one of these objects selected,
I can go over here and
select the text and change the font
to something a little more inspiring,
change the size, all the standard stuff that you can do.
So now I've got a pretty good start,
on my title sequence,
but, of course, it's not yet animated.
So I'm going to go to the frame
where I want this text
to stop moving
and if I scroll down in the Inspector
you can see that I have all my
Composite and Transform controls handy,
so what I'm going to do is key frame Pan and Tilt,
that's X and Y.
I'm going to select this item and maybe offset
the animation a little bit
and again, I'm going to scroll down,
and I'm going to key frame Pan and Tilt.
Now, once key framing is started,
for both of these layers,
all I need to do is move my playhead
to the beginning here
and drag
these layers where I want them to fly in from.
and now as I play,
I've got my animation.
Now I don't have caching turned on just yet,
so my performance isn't great,
but you can see I've got the animation
that I want.
Now by default this is a simple linear animation,
so if I want to jazz this up a little bit
I can click these little handles,
on the video tracks,
I'll shrink the video tracks down just a little bit.
I don't need them to be this tall.
and when I do that you can see I expose
my key frame editors.
If I click the little curve button,
inside of the key frame editor
now I've got a curve editor.
and inside of the curve editor
I can select any point and
set it to be a bezier handle to
create some smooth motion.
I'm going to do that
in the bottom most piece of text as well.
So I'll select the key frame,
I'll click the bezier handle button,
to turn this into an incoming smoothed key frame,
and now, you can see I have some nice eased motion.
I want to make sure that
I get both key frames eased
and to do that
I have a little popout menu up there that lets me choose
which curve I'm looking at,
and I want to do the same thing up here.
Just toggle those off and on
so I can see the other curve.
So once I've added handles to both X and Y,
I can see that I've got
my sequence just easing into a stop.
At this point I can close the editors.
If I hold the shift key
I can drag these up without moving them,
and I can go in here and try and find
a nice opening shot that I had before.
Grab that car,
coming in underneath,
and you can see how those titles
integrate with the rest of the scene.
Now at this point if I want those to fade away,
I can cheese out, just add a couple fast dissolves,
or, if I really wanted to be fancy,
I could go back into the Inspector
and using key frames,
I could simply animate the opacity handle for both of those.
I hope you found this useful.
