Types of Title Generators
When opened into the Inspector, titles expose a set of text parameters that allow you to style
the contents of that clip’s Text field within the Inspector. Each of the titles supports rich text, so
you can individually style words, lines, or paragraphs of text using the available parameters
including Color, Font, and Size. Other attributes such as Alignment, Anchor, Position, and
Shadow affect the entire title.
The following titles are available:
 L Lower 3rd: (supports rich text) Automatically positions two lines of text at the bottom
left corner of title safe, each with a different set of rich text and Position/Zoom/Rotation
controls for independent sizing and animating.
 M Lower 3rd: (supports rich text) Automatically positions two lines of text at the bottom
middle of title safe, each with a different set of rich text and Position/Zoom/Rotation
controls for independent sizing and animating.
 R Lower 3rd: (supports rich text) Automatically positions two lines of text at the bottom
right corner of title safe, each with a different set of rich text and Position/Zoom/
Rotation controls for independent sizing and animating.
 Scroll: (supports rich text) Automatically automates a scrolling title sequence from
the bottom to the top of the screen. The duration of the generator clip in the Timeline
determines the speed of the scroll. Identical parameters as the Simple title.
 Text: (supports rich text) Useful for creating titles consisting of a word, line, or
paragraph of text. A single body of text shares one set of rich text controls that let you
style selected parts of the title text differently.
 Text+: (does not support rich text) An advanced title generator based on the title
generation tools on the Fusion page. This generator has significantly more options for
styling, rendering, and animating than the simple title generator above, but all title text
shares a single style.
 Fusion Titles: A variety of pre-built title templates assembled in Fusion.
DaVinci Resolve comes with a library of pre-assembled Fusion titles, but you can also
create your own to appear in this category of the Effects browser.
DaVinci Resolve Title Generators
The original title generators that shipped with DaVinci Resolve all share similar controls, and
they all share the ability to support rich text styling.
Editing Titles Within the Timeline Viewer
Once you add a title generator 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.
Positioning and Transforming Text
So long as the Timeline playhead is positioned over a text generator that’s on top of one or
more background clips, clicking on the text in the Timeline Viewer reveals onscreen transform
controls that correspond to the Position, Zoom, and Rotation parameters in the Inspector.
