End Credits in DaVinci Resolve

[@DonaldFink]

Outstanding tutorial. I know very little about Fusion and was able to follow along and re-create credits for my own work. To me, this kind of tutorial goes a long way toward helping people jump start their learning of something as robust and complicated as Fusion. Thank You.

[@XmontyVFXx]

This is a great tut. Probably one of the best anywhere for credits. Love the keyframe extrapolation trick.... THANK YOU IGOR!

[@JanKlier]

Very nice! Fusion has always been a diamond in the rough.

[@Hdhead]

Thanks. And the public beta 2 is just out. It promises better stability in Fusion.

[@jeffbrass2351]

brilliant. Thanks you so much. A fusion tut I can follow and then head off and get to work and adjust to suit, without hours of repeatedly going over the tutorial wondering what I've got wrong. This worked for me straight away. THANK YOU!

[@michaelkellermann6949]

Hey Igor! Mike here from the old DS List! Nice tutorial and at exactly the right time... very useful for me! Hope to see more of your Davinci tuts come future ...

[@Hdhead]

This was very much inspired by the way I used to set rolling credits in DS. Though there is still no replacement for the DS paint tool in Fusion or elsewhere.

[@michaelkellermann6949]

Oh so very true.... but I am ecxited about Resolve/Fusion ... going well in the direction of DS - still - the graphics tool in DS is missed (well not really, I still do things in DS, but more and more I do in resolve

[@daviddelayat-dnapictures]

Hi Igor, Very well explained, consistent, short, thanks a lot ! The only thing I would point out, is that sometimes because of the zoom we don't see which tool you're clicking on (but that's just for very beginners on fusion/resolve like me) I subscribed to learn more with you :) Have a great day !

[@Hdhead]

Thanks for the feedback. I try to make sure nothing relevant is out of the frame, but sometimes I miss things. This was actually the first Resolve tutorial I did. At the time I didn't think I'd make any more. Hopefully my skill is a little better now.

[@daviddelayat-dnapictures]

For a first tutorial it's really great ! I followed steps by steps and did everything very easily, only some searchs sometimes for tools I couldn't see (by the way the resolve manual is great !) Thanks again

[@dsoperator]

Glad to see you back on tutorials Igor. Now if only BMD bought DS code ... Thanks for the nice work. Cheers

[@harrij.9542]

What is DS code?

[@austinreeves_cine]

Question, even though this is a 3 year old Tut but since its the only one that really specifically focuses on my question (and much higher quality than the others I've seen). Are others seeing an extremely slow render from long credits in Resolve/Fusion? My credits are long (about a 3.5min run at 2px/frame), but I get about 4secs/frame render speed. Its ungodly slow. Like over an hour to render a credit roll. Theres a couple of linked text boxes to group sections (because some roles change between shows, so easier to copy and paste those sections), but even a single box is insanely slow in UHD. I finally redid the graphics in AE and was able to build and render 4 show rolls from scratch before Resolve could render 1 roll. It doesn't seem right but I can't find anything to speed it up. Specs: Resolve 17.4.2, iMac Pro 32core, 64GB RAM, 16GB GPU, working off a 8TB 4x2 SSD RAID0. Is what I'm seeing normal?

[@faizzuhdi9514]

best rolling end credit tutorial!

[@lauskanaal4260]

I'm going to use this method from now on. Super easy and very well explained.

[@horstgirtew3086]

I do not synchronize the y-offset of individual elements, but do the scrolling through the y-offset of the merge-node behind it.

[@lauskanaal4260]

That's a good suggestion!

[@purplemoonfrog4785]

When I press tab (on my MAC), I don't get the vertical indicators. Can you please tell me how to create the 3 tabs?

[@odaimanea]

This is a good job, thank you

[@northillvideo]

Very useful, thank you.

[@m1nt9reen]

Great tutorial. 1 suggested improvement: linking tab margins, have the right margin be the negative of the left and then all you do is adjust the left margin and the right one will automatically mirror it

[@lightwrx]

Thanks for tutorial, easy to understand and follow

[@jbtube73]

Great tutorial. Thanks for sharing this.

[@Coolhand99au]

Very Nice clear tutorial

[@johnnybigoode]

Your content is awesome

[@kaihinataplays6374]

I am a bit confused about the spline editor, I did everything ver batem but my spline editor looks way different and that step didn't make the credits roll

[@richardherreraarreola4231]

I love this thx man

[@CARambolagen]

Talk about complicated! Is there no simpler way to add an image into the rolling credits?

[@orangerecords_studio]

Igor, I am jsut curious. What dialect are you speaking ? ( what part of US ) regards , from Norway :)

[@Hdhead]

Haha, I have no idea. English is not my first language.

[@orangerecords_studio]

@@Hdhead ok, I see :)))

[@BenchyTests]

Thanks for this. It really helped me!

[@X-Posed23]

overall I like the tutorial, but one thing eludes me... you very quickly and kind of off the cuff mention that you have everything pre-formated in a word doc, then you just copy paste and you have all your tabs already set... when I try to copy my word doc it does not bring the tabs over... what am I missing?

[@Hdhead]

Hmm. There is nothing more than tabs and carriage returns on my end.

[@LittleLotteWanders]

Why are my credits so jumpy? It doesn't roll smoothly. Is that a playback issue or did I possibly do something wrong?

[@Hdhead]

I couldn't possibly tell you without seeing the actual clip. It also depends on the frame rate. You'll get more strobing at lower frame rates like 23.976 or 24.

[@DanDann]

Hello, this tutorial is absolutely amazing and has been incredibly helpful. That being said, I have two super important questions (I've been pulling my hair out): 1. How do I do this on a transparent background 2. Is there a way to extend the time allotted for the credits after I've started editing in fusion? I can no longer drag the length of the bar in the edit screen and couldnt figure out how to extend the timing other than starting completely from scratch. It's not THAT big of a deal, but it would be amazing if I could just + another 300 seconds or something. Thank you again for your tutorial!

[@Hdhead]

Do you mean, how do you comp the titles over a background? The alpha channel is created by default. But if you're using a black background in Fusion make sure to drag the Alpha slider all the way to zero. Then you should be able to comp the Fusion clip on the Resolve edit page over a lower track. You can also use a video clip in place of the black background in Fusion. To change the duration extend the Fusion clip on the edit page. Then in Fusion extend the last keyframe to match your new running time. If you're comping over a black background in Fusion you may have to extend that too. I'm not sure if it scales automatically.

[@acegraal4237]

Wonderful video, thank you.

[@KaceyBakerFilms]

Thanks for sharing and helping. I sure hope BM catch up with PP, all this is achievable in about 6 clicks in PP. Thanks for getting me out of trouble.

[@krabf_]

How did you indent thr texts in this tutorial?

[@TheSubversiveSound]

On mac what button do i hit to get the vertical indicators. TAB does nothing. let me know. thanks!

[@Hdhead]

I'm not sure about the Mac. I've only ever used Fusion on Windows. But you can ask on the Blackmagic Fusion forum.

[@seanchem1]

I'm on a Mac and it worked. I had to be in the text box for it to bring them up. Not sure it it works another way.

[@asafblasbergvideographer]

How do you make the speed faster or slower?

[@Hdhead]

Change the Y translation lines/frame. Usually for HD or 2K content 1, 2, or 3 lines per frame are the best speeds.

[@asafblasbergvideographer]

@@Hdhead you mean in the crop tool?

[@Hdhead]

@@asafblasbergvideographer Yes, if the crop tool is what I used to set the keyframes. I can't remember now. It's been a while.

[@QueentasticTDP]

Its great.. But the tabs doesnt work anymore :/

[@evananthony3174]

Always great videos! I'm sure I'm missing something. But how do I get it to roll to the end of my credits? If I have a longer list and need to have it be :90 it only gets about 1/2 way.

[@Hdhead]

You have to adjust the type metrics like leading and size. You also may need to run sections in multiple columns. For example, you can set thank yous, music credits and logos in multiple columns. The goal is to keep the vertical translation an integer value or else you get aliasing. That's a constant. Everything else need not be locked. There are practical cases I have run into where it was just unreasonable to fit a credit roll into the time slot defined by the sound mix. We'd adjust the mix to extend it or shorten it.

[@mabian69]

Thank you for this video. Actually, at least on DR 17.4, Transform works really bad with pixels reference, it works in decimal anyway; crop is still the best way by far.

[@veasnasara]

Love your work, I'm new to Davinci resolve and is it possible if you can link the End Credit Roll the word document for me to try onKeep up the good worksThanks in advance

[@ShyamBharteey]

thanks

[@daviddelayat-dnapictures]

Hi Igor ! After months I come back here for this amazing tutorial, but now I have an issue : The tab spacing outlines are hidden, and I cant find where to show/hide them. Any clue ?

[@daviddelayat-dnapictures]

Just found the solution ! They are at the very top of the text layer -_-"

[@Lukino0112]

thanks man!

Amazing tutorial. THank you. Would be nice if you put the project for download :D

[@Hdhead]

That's a good idea. Check out the discussion in the Beta 15 Resolve Forum. There are additional insights from other users that go beyond what I show here.

Igor Riđanović amazing, ill check it :)

[@MutexLock]

Why does my merge move independently with my logo?!?!??!🤬😡😡🤬

[@Hdhead]

I am not sure. Can you post back a video of what's happening?

[@MutexLock]

Igor Riđanović Thank you for your reply. 14:58 The logo(photo and .png) I wanna add in the end credit put on the fusion site as you show in the video. And I connected the line of medeaIn2 of the logo to a new merge. At initial state, a green box of the new merge fit well with the edges of the logo. But, whenever I change the x and y Offsets at my merge connected with the logo, the green box of the merge moves alone.... Is it my fault..? Then, what is the problem??😭😭

[@Hdhead]

@@MutexLock Maybe you're not viewing the right node. Drag the final node in the tree up to the viewer and see if that helps.

[@MutexLock]

Igor Riđanović You’re Genius! I MADE IT!!

[@PRospond]

Great video, obviously for someone that knows this app and don't need to learn it. Have you considered that somebody that is a novice and is trying to learn has no clue what you're clicking? Fast clicks make it impossible to follow. I'm giving up after replaying 15 sec. chunks over and over for an hour...

[@Hdhead]

Thank you for your comment Peter. Yes, I have considered that and I'm aware that there is a lot of content squeezed in a short video. My intended audience are long time Resolve colorists who are somewhat familiar with the subject matter but need to pick up a few new skills now that Resolve has much deeper toolset.

[@charlemarcharlemar2401]

Hi Igor, .....Again,.... you make very good points in your video's but do us all a favor this weekend, take whatever you are using for a mic, take it outside and shoot it, bury it.................done. On Black Friday, but a new proper mic with a pop filter also go into Fairlight and get rid of the pops, knocks and eses plotions ... Really, your sound is an insult to what you are saying as well as us trying to hear you.

[@Hdhead]

Do you have any advice on headsets vs. standalone microphones. I prefer a headset for the freedom of movement. Do headsets inherently pick up more pops and sibilance because of the proximity to the mouth? Thanks!

[@charlemarcharlemar2401]

Yes, I think headsets do have problems but there are many people using them (just look at a film crew on set) and therefore the solution is out there. First, decide if what you have is good enough to keep. If it is then it must be ok and the problem is downstream. If it is ok, then build on it. Forget about KZbin and think more in terms of putting together a VOICE OVER setup instead. There you can sweeten the voice by using a small mixer that also has a compressor, limiter and equalizer etc. on it. You need only one mic input so put the money in what supports it alone not into mixers with 30 mic inputs which you would use them as expensive holes in a mixer board. As to mic, I have an Electro Voice RE 320 mic I use with a small Mackie mixer 3 mic inputs. My mic has a pop filter in it. It is the same mic Rush Limbaugh uses for his radio show. (Actually, mine has a switch that it can also sense low to 20 dB and is $100 cheaper for some reason. Mine was $350 but you need not spend anything near that. For editing, I also use a Mackie i810, primarily because it has excellent mic pre amps and a few controls to support the voice and I can also route the input outputs where they need to go.) There are also separate preamps used for VO sweetening that are about $50 up. Hold on I must look =some of this up for you..... www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjK_ZvghO7eAhUo9YMKHa1bBU8QFjAAegQICBAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bhphotovideo.com%2Fexplora%2Faudio%2Fbuying-guide%2Fguide-voice-over-equipment&usg=AOvVaw3x68sDeBVuPXgY8WH7ivQF Start with that link and remember DO NOT use a condenser mic, too expensive and unless you are in a dead quite place it will pick up Robins in the trees. (My house is old, brick and stone and over 300' away from any road and I still built a room inside another room.) Again, I hate Amazon and have bought from B&H for years plus no tax with them unless you are in NEW York. They also take stuff back until February 2019, nit the usual 30 days. If I think of those other preamps (Its' Fourter or Scarlet or something) I will look it up and send it to you.) You must just decide if what you are using is good enough to keep and build onto or start fresh.

[@bartez4174]

How can I use different fonts (styles and size) for functions, roles and actors names in this rolling end credit?

[@Hdhead]

Look up "character level styling" in the user guide.

[@bartez4174]

@@Hdhead it is not intuicial and poorly desribed in user manual, but yours hint led me to solve the problem. It really works! Thank you very much.
