How to Create Smooth Rolling Credits in DaVinci Resolve 16 [Tutorial]

[@tnturnip]

Easy to follow, simple yet complex enough for customization. This was perfect for my school's virtual concert project. Thank you!

@Cody Nico thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im in the hacking process now. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@danteasher1376]

@Cody Nico It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thank you so much you saved my ass :D

[@codynico90]

@Dante Asher glad I could help :D

Missing the text-editor of Adobe Premiere I found a way simpler method: Create a high picture in Adobe Photoshop or Affinity Photo (width is the size of you video, height several times the video-height). Add your text there and you can use all the fonts, pictures and other stuff you want to use. Put that picture in the Davinci Resolve Timeline, zoom it until it has the correct width and use the inspector to let it scroll from top to bottom.

[@theredneckgeordie]

Great stuff! Bit complicated at the very end but helped a lot with my video compilations. Thanks!

[@AstroSam]

So far everything understood - but how do you get rid of the juttering of the crawler?

[@bralynstokes9193]

Just what I was looking for. Worked better than everyone else's method. Words would move at a different pace.

[@barbarabenowitz868]

This was so easy to follow and incredibly useful! Thank you!

[@TMS5100]

I'm thinking this is a perfect job for fusion scripting. Then there's no question things are aligned and centered properly, and you can make radical format changes easily.

[@e2zippo]

Thanks a bunch, worked great and looked way better then the standard scrolling effect!

[@janebrown7975]

This video was very useful. Thanks for sharing.

[@accentactor]

Great explanation. You just helped me put the finishing touches on my first feature film. Woohoo! Thanks a million, Chris:)

Is it possible to overlay guides on the output screen, would help with aligning?

where can i see that note MediaOut1 box on the 0:56 minute of the video i can't see it sorry :D

This was a very informative video... That's why I tune in.

Thanks man just added some ending scrolls to my video. Thanks for showing me this wonderful software.🙂👌

[@michaeljanapin9528]

Awesome! Let me confirm that this still works with Resolve 17 Beta 7. Thanks Man!

[@jazmania]

Nice video, how would you add scrolling pictures to the credits?

[@jazmania]

Actually was able to do this myself. Basically you just add the pictures you want into the fusion view and connect via a merge just before the transform step. Thankfully no matter at what step in the timeline you position the picture it will scroll along with the text. Works really well.

[@e.s.7124]

@@jazmania how do you add a picture into the fusion view?

[@metaDeWeta]

I used it, what colours did other viewers of this video use this with? I changed it to purple and pink, jippie!

[@ArtSurvivesArtist]

Is there a way to make the credits fade away halfway up the screen? I have looked everywhere and I can't find the answer.

[@apeel2008]

Thank you. Great explanation.

[@mangomanster]

This works fine in Davinci Resolve 17 but it's no smoother than just keyframing a Resolve scrolling text element or a png file exported from Photoshop

[@modular_wisdom]

Hello there, how do you keyframe the scrolling text to make it smoother? Do you have any tut as a reference? Thanks.

[@Reverae]

Thankyou so much!

[@winfrieddockendorf153]

It would be helpful to know whether you use the free version or the studio one, I tried it with DR 18 FREE, but it’s not working…

[@kaihinataplays6374]

I can't see my text when I start working, I don''t understand why when it clearly seems to work here

[@bruhe3178]

Hi, I had the same issues as you, I fixed it by making sure that all the lines were placed properly. Make sure that all the arrows and lines are properly placed onto each node. Reasoning: Notice that each side of the node have a different color? Specially the merge node. Basically each side represents either mask, background or foreground. When you want to merge the text into the node, you need to merge into the correct place (should be either background or foreground, but I usually merge it into foreground)

[@doctadank]

@@bruhe3178 thank you so much!

[@JandeBloois1952]

A great way of doing this! Is there a way to ‘save’ this Fusion ‘block’ as a kind of ‘favourite’? (I am a beginner with DVR).

[@theburnerking]

Look into 'smart bins'. They are a way to use elements over multiple projects.

[@JandeBloois1952]

@@theburnerking How does a clip get there? In my Smart Bins I only see Timelines and Keywords. but since none of my clips have Keywords there is nothing to see.

[@theburnerking]

@@JandeBloois1952 sorry sorry, I meant POWER bins. It's been a while since I set them up. Click on the 'view' menu and check 'show power bins'. Then you can just drag clips over there. You can organise your power bin with sub bins eg rolling credits, opening titles, lower thirds. Hope that helps.

[@JandeBloois1952]

@@theburnerking Thanks for your correction. I selected the Power Bins and drag the Compound Clip with the credits in it. It shows up there. Then I opened a previous project. I dragged the Compound Clip in it, but it was not the same. Mister Da Vinci has mysterious ways..... I still have to learn a lot.

[@theburnerking]

@@JandeBloois1952 maybe it's a Davinci bug or there is a better way. You'll have to do some further research. The power bins have been useful but I seem to remember there being some issue with saving certain settings. No idea. Check out MrAlexTech channel and power bins. I think he has mentioned a glitch somewhere along the way. Good luck.

Hello! My preview screen keeps in black and nothing happens when I write the lines.

[@mattymatt1283]

How do you find the Effects Library at the start?

[@lieutenantgodzilla]

Effects Library should be at the top left, next to the Media Pool and underneath the File and Edit buttons.

[@mattymatt1283]

@@lieutenantgodzilla Yes I got it! I also forgot to select Edit at the bottom because I was at Cut instead. Thank you very much!

[@1MarcVD]

Hello Chris, I'm using your tutorial to create the credits for my documentary in Davnici Resolve 16. But there happens something weird. After using more than 4 different text boxes the previous one, or ones, between the first 3 boxes and the one that I'm modifying are no longer visible in the playback screen. I have a lot of text so the biggest part is in green, below the first boxes but are no longer visible then, until I select that one to work with. But the difficulty lies in the fact that I can't line up different text boxes anymore because the previous one is invisible. Do you know what I am doing wrong or what setting needs to be changed to constantly see every text box in the playback viewer?

[@prentusnews240]

I think had the same or similar issue. I am pretty sure your merge functions are out of order. What I did to fix was delete all of the merges and then readded them and reconnected them from the top down (in order)

[@mroyzak11]

thanks thanks thanks!

[@l0rdcroissant]

I am not able to slow it down, lol damn, try doing what you are saying but not able to even move the end point over

[@MOMO-ji5eg]

your method will definitely cause the credit jittering in theatrical environments, you have to make sure the credit moves integral figures pixels per frame.

[@antonarap]

There s a way to add tabs in a single text + noise and forrmat different parts of the text independently. Probably more difficult, except that it makes center titles easier if you make changes. So you know how to do that?

[@bobstark8749]

Hi antonarap, I think this video will answer those questions for you: Credit Roll Tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnLPaX6PrLaFadE. Check it out!

[@Raspora]

just did it and the stuff doesnt roll an inch. dont know whats wrong. i did the same as i seen but nothing happen at all

[@LatinAtHeartMusic]

This is a great technique. However, when I tried it, the scroll animation appeared jumpy (not smooth) when played back. Any ideas why this might be happening.

[@setsuMei-chan]

Could be lag. Try exporting

[@FrancoAversa]

this way your roll will have jitter because the lines are drawn at different speeds. you have to place the starting point on an integer and then move one frame, move the height of 2-3 pixels but on an integer Y number. Then interpolate the frames using splines. This is the right way to not jitter

[@angelicafalco3649]

@@FrancoAversa I've been trying to figure this out... is there anyway you can type it out for a dumb person to understand? lol what is an integer and splines?

[@FrancoAversa]

@@angelicafalco3649 an integer is a number without a comma, that is, without decimals. A "spline" is a curve between keyframes.

[@angelicafalco3649]

@@FrancoAversa Thanks so much! I ended up researching more about this, and have figured out to how to properly key frame it!

Its still lagging what do i do? just wait?

It doesn't work. Is it because I'm running resolve 17?
