Titles
There’s a collection of title clips in the Titles Browser that you can use to add superimposed
titles, slates, interstitial titles, lower thirds, or otherwise fulfill any textual needs your program
has. Two categories present two different kinds of titles.
The available titles in the Titles Browser
The “Titles” category presents simple, bare-bones titles that you can customize in a variety of
different ways. Of the available options, the Text title is the most flexible. The “Fusion Titles”
category presents more complicated titles that are more visually sophisticated and have more
preset animation.
Adding Titles
You can add a title to the Timeline by opening the Titles Browser and dragging and dropping
titles into the Timeline wherever you want them to be, just like any other clip. The default
duration of a title clip is 5 seconds. This standard “generator” duration can be customized in the
Editing panel of the User Preferences.
Once edited into the Timeline, titles can be moved, resized, and superimposed much like any
other clip. Furthermore, when selected, both titles and generators expose the same Transform,
Cropping, Speed, and Composite controls as any other clip; these controls can be used to
composite titles in various ways to create different text effects.
Editing Titles
Once you add a title to the Timeline, the original title generators that shipped with
DaVinci Resolve have onscreen controls that let you edit text and transform and position blocks
of text directly within the Timeline Viewer.
