During a color correction session, editors are often asked to add titles or work with generators and transitions. Previously, this has meant using an external application, but Da Vinci Resolve now allows you to do this without leaving the color grading session. This video tutorial will show you how to work with titles, generators and transitions in Da Vinci Resolve 11.
- During the course of a color correction session…we are often asked to add titles,…work with transitions.…In the past I'd have to go out to some sort of external…application to do all of this.…Here in DaVinci Resolve 11 we have the tools…to do this without ever leaving the confines…of our color grading session.…Let's start off this movie by resetting our UI layouts.…We're all looking at the same thing at the same time.…I'm gonna come into our Working with TLs folder…that we created earlier in this chapter.…Flip it into list view and Duplicate 04-03.…
I'm going to call this 04-08 Titles Generators.…To get to our Titles and Generators…they are in the Toolbox.…To find the Toolbox you're gonna come down here.…Here's our little Toolbox indicator.…Click on that and now we've got…Transitions, Titles and Generators.…Why don't we just start at the beginning.…We've got Transitions.…These are transitions between clips so all I do…is click and drag and now I've added a Transition,…in this case, a Cross Dissolve.…
I could also over-write Transitions so I can just grab…

11/7/2014In these tutorials, indie-feature-film and broadcast colorist Patrick Inhofer guides viewers through color grading with DaVinci Resolve and Resolve Lite 11. With emphasis placed on real-world techniques and workflows, the course will help editors and aspiring colorists edit in the timeline, perform primary and secondary color corrections, match shots from multiple cameras, create mood-rich looks, and render out movies to share with clients. Interspersed throughout the course are "lingo" movies, which will help you learn the language of colorists, and "in action" chapters, where Patrick applies the lessons learned to a real-world music video for the band Minimus the Poet.
