You can even pick the clip up and drop it on a new video track in the large timeline without
having to zoom in or out. This speeds up the edit process because it minimizes time navigating
a long timeline.
After you have finished editing clips using the ‘cut’ page, you might want to add a title. The next
section will show you how.
Adding Titles
Placing a title on your timeline is easy and you have many options.
To see the different types of titles you can use, click on the ‘titles’ media tab at the top left
corner of the user interface. In the selection window you will see all the different title generators
you can use, from lower thirds, scrolls, to a standard text title. You can even add any of the
Fusion titles which are animated titles that you can customize.
A good example is to add a standard title.
To do this:
1 Click on the ‘text’ title and drag it onto the timeline. It doesn’t matter which timeline,
but for greater accuracy we recommend using the detailed timeline. The title will
automatically create a new video track for the title and will snap to the playhead.
2 Release the mouse and the title will appear on the new track. You can now move it
or change its duration like you would another video clip.
3 To edit the title, click on the new title clip and a ‘tools’ icon will appear underneath
the clip viewer. Click on the tools icon.
You will now see a row of tools you can use to modify the title clip. For example
transform, crop, dynamic zoom and more. For this example, click on the ‘title’ tool.
4 Now click ‘open inspector’.
This will open the inspector window where you can type in the title you want and edit the text
settings, for example tracking, line spacing, font type, color and more.
You have a lot of options to customize the title exactly how you want it. We recommend playing
with all the different settings to see how they can change the appearance and shape of
your title.
Working with Blackmagic RAW Files
Blackmagic RAW clips give you maximum flexibility in post production. This lets you make
adjustments to clips, such as white balance and ISO settings, as if you were changing the
original camera settings. Working with Blackmagic RAW also retains more tonal information
within shadows and highlights, which is useful for recovering details, for example in blown out
skies and dark areas of the picture.
It’s worth shooting in Blackmagic RAW if you are after the highest possible quality, or for shots
where there is an extreme variance between highlights and shadows and you may need to
push and pull those regions as much as possible in the grade.
The speed and small file size of Blackmagic RAW means you don’t need to make proxy files
and playback is just like a standard video clip. This section of the manual describes the features
of Blackmagic RAW and how to use Blackmagic RAW files in your DaVinci Resolve workflow.
