User Manual

Drag the text to position it in the Viewer
While dragging text to reposition it, snapping occurs at the X and Y center of the frame, as well
as around the outer third of the frame. Holding the Shift key down while dragging a text object
constrains movement to just the X or Y axes.
Editing Text
Double-clicking on text in the Timeline Viewer puts that text into an editable state, wherein you
can insert a text cursor or select characters to edit the text as you would in any text editor.

Title Generator Panels
The parameters of text generators are divided into two panels: the Text panel and the
Video panel.
 The Text panel contains all of the text editing, styling, and sizing controls used to edit
the contents and look of a title in your project, including the Rich Text, Drop Shadow,
Stroke, and Background parameters.
 The Video panel contains the same Composite, Transform, and Cropping parameters
that all other clips in DaVinci Resolve have. These parameters are intended for
compositing and animating a title.
Shared Title Generator Parameters
With the exception of the Text+ generator, all other title generators in DaVinci Resolve are
capable of rich text styling. This means you can select any portion of a generator’s text and
style it differently. For example, you could have three lines of text within a single generator and
style each line individually to create a particular design.
