Using DaVinci Resolve
Adding Titles
It’s easy to create titles for your edit. You can place a title on any video track just as you would a
clip. If you run out of tracks you can easily add new ones by right clicking next to an existing
track name and selecting ‘add track’.
To create a title:
1 Scroll down towards the middle of the toolbox in the ‘effects library’ located underneath
the media pool and you’ll see the ‘titles’ generators. Use the scroll bar to reveal more
titles options.
2 Drag and drop a text title on the empty video track above the clip you want the title
to appear. You can even drop your title next to a clip on Video 1 if you just want it to
appear over black. To see the title, make sure the timeline playhead is on the title.
3 Double click on the title clip. The ‘inspector’ will appear showing you the settings for
your title. Type your title into the ‘text’ field. You can choose from a variety of fonts and
adjust the appearance of your title by changing settings such as color, size, alignment,
position, and more. Transitions can be added to titles, just like they can for clips.
Drag a title type from the ‘titles’ palette and drop it on an empty track.
Adding Audio Tracks
If you want to mix a large sound edit with lots of sound effects and music, you can easily add
more audio tracks when you need them.
To add an audio track:
1 Right click next to the name of the last audio track on your timeline and select
‘add track’.
2 Select the type of audio track you want, such as stereo, mono, 5.1 or adaptive.
Your new audio track will appear on the timeline.
This can be handy when you want to separate your audio elements into individual tracks for a
sound mix, for example voice, sound effects, and music.
Refer to the DaVinci Resolve manual for more information on how you can use all the powerful
editing tools.
