[@practicewithken7757]

You must be the best DaVinci Resolve teacher... I learned tons from your videos! Thank you so much for the value!!!

[@jasonsell7172]

I have been looking through various posts and videos for 2 weeks to figure out how to do exactly what is in this video. Thanks Casey!

[@scottjones1426]

So helpfull and timely! I'm with the Longview Film Club and was literally starting on some difficult end-credits wondering how to use my custom Fusion title effects without a ton of copying and pasting and then possibly altering timing on animations. You saved me a ton of time! Also wanted to say that your gentle, easy manner and humor makes your channel very accessible. You do more good for others than your know! Thanks bunches!

[@UFOBobTV]

agreed.

[@sharil.6382]

Yes! I'm new to Resolve and I have used so many of your tutuorials. Thanks!

[@BendyPlays]

Thanks for the tutorial, I knew how to do most of this, but that macro advice will save me hours!

[@TriggeredLimey]

This is brilliant! I've recently started creating templates and other stuff to speed up my editing, so this is perfect timing! Your channel is my absolute favourite for learning things with DaVinci Resolve! And you are definitely the main reason my editing had come such a long way over the past few months. Thanks so much!

[@EricMeyerweb]

Top-shelf work, sir! Thank you so much for explaining everything so clearly and concisely. I learned about seven things I had no idea about, and this is going to be a huge help with a video I’m planning.

[@ASHLEYCOELHO]

I have recently migrated to DVR. I stumbled upon your tutorials. Thanks to you, DVR has been smooth for me. Lots of love and success to you bro

[@navigator9717]

I actually e-mailed you asking if this could be done.Good to see you actually provide a solution.Kudos

[@albertbozesan]

You're the best Resolve teacher on the internet, thank you so much for this!

[@vijaykharage]

Can't be more simple. Thanks for this video!!

[@stivosaurus]

Now we are getting into the fancy stuff. Woo Woo!

[@SueAndSarah]

This is very cool!! Thanks for all the videos you make. I am self teaching myself using the free Davinci Resolve software. I try to add something new to every video I create. Hopefully, this shows some kind of improvement over time. Really appreciate your detailed videos which I find very helpful 💜🎬

[@LearningMediaSkills]

Wonderful! I have been avoiding learning this, but you make it easy!

[@eie_for_you]

Fantastic! I took notes! How does one remove a previously installed "oopsie"?

[@david_uk]

Thanks. I've been looking for a way to create text overlay with one set of text left-aligned and another right-aligned within a text box. I made two text nodes overlaying each other and it's done!

[@sowryamcproo]

The most structured and detailed tutorial i ca across until now. Thank you very much!

[@jamesepiclight]

This is exactly a tutorial I was looking for. Casey, great Meeting you at Nab!

[@ThePhantomCoder]

Thank you. I didn't realize how much I needed this

[@atomiceducation]

I learn soooooo much watching your video. Tks.

[@LeftCat]

That was awesome. Can you do something similar for a video fx? For example, I often want a slow pan of a stationary video clip. It would be awesome to have this saved as a video effect instead of doing it manually in keyframes each time.

[@byDanimal]

I know this is a year old but I wanted to say thank you Casey. This was super clear and very helpful.

[@EmileJrManigat]

Wonderful tutorial. Merci Beaucoup !

[@bigfellavideography]

just finished my first fancy-schmancy intro/logo title yesterday after a week or so of head-scratching and headdesk.gif with a lot of confusing elements to a complete newby, but I worked around it. had to combine 3D text/extrusions with a 2D element, with motion and active lighting. it's only as complicated as I make it, but I wanted an impact. you helped with that, so thanks. cheers for the upload, this will come in handy for my workflow I'm sure. stay cool dude.

[@TedHough68]

Thanks again for these! Learning DaVinci after years on Steam Vegas lite/movie studio has been really tough for me

[@GrandThriftAuto]

Superb, just what I need, and perfectly explained as ever. I've just upgraded to Studio and it's crashing when it renders my usual (built-in) chapter titles, so I need to rebuild simpler ones. (Or buy an eGPU, but I need another hit video or two to pay for that.)

[@pathofprophecy]

Casey, you're a pretty good teacher. Thanks for your work. I'm a newbie with DaVinci Resolve. I'm finding that you're videos are very helpful.

[@TitanGameDesign]

Easy yet helped tons! Thanks a bunch

[@Majesenmoto]

Thanks for the tutorial. Im trying HARD to change from premiere to davinci and these kind of things are the ones that hold me up. In premiere, all these 75 steps are stored with ONE click. ONE CLICK! (On the text essentials, save as a template). I think this program is VERY powerful but it's just not user-friendly for some stuff. I'll finish my edit and i'm over.

[@masterblaster9974]

What this guy does can also be done easily in the editing section, it is not necessary to enter Fusion to simply move a text, on the Davinci page you find tutorials explained in a simple way, do not pay attention to all the pseudo tutorials . that you find on KZbin, this is the worst example of a Davinci tutorial, don't be discouraged.

[@DougsMessyGarage]

Useful little technique. I will have to remember this one.

[@trent797]

Awesome tutorial and very clear! It would be nice if DaVinci Resolve had a slightly more elegant way of creating macros (exporting them and creating a zip seems a little janky), but I guess it works :)

[@KozlosLife]

Hi Casey, thanks so much for your informative, easy to follow videos. I was wondering if this feature is only available on the Studio version. You are on Resolve 17 Studio, and I am on 18 public version so I see some subtle differences in things. When I install the template, it doesn't appear in the Effects/Titles.

[@bobditty]

This was great! Going through your tutorial now as well. Question though, when I pull in this title in another project, it says media not found. What am I doing wrong?

[@prajwalverma9320]

You saved me, been looking for something like this for a while, finally know how to create our own custom settings. Thanks, Also, it would be great if you could make a video on different kind of macro's and custom settings we can create in Davinci.

[@dilshanonlive7413]

Nice job man, seems like soft soft has gotten a lot more complex since the fruity loops days that I rember. Very helpful, thank you.

[@4thwalltvandfilm]

This is fantasatic Casey. I was able to make my own Template... Yea! Is there a way to make and edit a master template if I need to change say 30-100 istances of a title in a project based on that template?

[@josearce225]

Hi Casey! Today by chance I discovered some very small icons in the fusion UI, top left when you edit a text, it's great that you can move each letter with the mouse and other things. It would be very good for a video ;). I really like your channel!! 🙌

[@leelovetv]

Casey you are bound and determined to make me a Davinci Ninja 🤓 thanks.

[@rasko125]

Hey Casey, how to make text appear over time? Write a segment and select a timeframe for letters to appear like they were just typed. Ty for your videos!

[@Bo_Hazem]

Wow! Simple yet great! Nees to stick around and learn more. Thanks for the great video.👏

[@baggiesout]

This was exactly what I needed! Thank you!

[@BLAKHARTFILM]

Thank you. Good information and well presented, as always.

[@fishycomics]

WOW, that was amazing I really would love to learn this to do a Split title, havet o simply spend an hour to do it, will save and try myself thank you,.

[@tmk6022]

Awesome! Just what I was looking for

[@Rood67]

I would have killed for this nearly a year ago when I was struggling to create this type of editable fusion title. Previous guides I found had exporting the macro, making folders inside the DR installation folder, and copying the macro file there. The export process was longer and more involved. But I cannot complain too much; I learned to open the exported file and edit the underlying data to make simple changes or re-open in Fusion to make more detailed changes then re-export. I would really like to see you do this with a more complicated example. The one I created has a transparent background, an opaque light blue stripe at the bottom to give text a slight background color to show up on any clip, with three text fields, two static, one dynamic to update the text. With my limited Fusion knowledge, this was a bugger to create. Maybe if you do something similar, I can pick up a few tips and tricks.

[@NariMohan]

excellent tutorial....thanks Casey

[@skipsaunders5974]

Fantastic set of videos you are providing. Thank you very much. With regards to text ... Is there a way to emphasize one of the words in the text box?....(I would like to italicize one of the words without italicizing all of them.) I figured out a "brute force" technique by simply overlaying two text boxes, but it takes some fiddling to get the inserted word to align properly.... I wondered if there is a more elegant solution. (It would be neat to animate the word too if possible (i.e. change color, jiggle, rotate, etc) Thanks again (By the way, your humor is fantastic!!... )

[@Farmer-Mike]

Love those video’s they have helped me so much 😍 Regards to this video I have made the drfx file, bit when I wil take over in fusion the text: Unable to install “my file” The selected path does not seem to be a valid template bundle format. Is there anyone who can help me please 🙏

[@RussellWatsonFMHL]

Weird. When I open the composition in Fusion it won't let me add nodes. If I put it in the timeline on the edit page I can add/subtract nodes in Fusion.

[@lucetto]

pretty cool indeed!

[@americanprintconsultants6618]

[@AliciaFrancis-o6e]

Hello! Loving your videos so far. I'm having an issue though adding the template to DaVinci. When I drag the .drfx file it said "Unable to Install"... The path does not seem to be a valid template format. Any insight on whether I'm missing a step or why I would have these issues? Thanks all!

[@josediazh3890]

Muchas gracias.

[@daudet1]

@Casey Faris I massively appreciate all of these excellent videos. I have a question with regards to Templates as I am relatively new to Resolve ( have done a minor amount of Fusion) If one buys a subscription to something like MotionArray, they don't seem to give you things like "Title Packs" but Templates instead. It appears that you use a Template by opening it as a project. I would assume that you could only use 1 Template at a time and not have the ability to combine features of multiple Templates. Is there a workaround for this? To me this is a big negative for the use of Templates and I probably should stick to "plugin" / Title Pack /imports. Is my understanding wrong?

[@ChrisHolzer]

they really need to make this process much simpler - like an "export as preset" button instead of manually creating folders, packing and changing the file extension.

[@cyclefr]

Thank you so much!

[@NMalteC]

I did EXACTLY what you did, albeit on Windows 11. Dragging the drxf file into the Fusion page did nothing.

[@michaelmridha]

Hello, I tried to do the same thing but when I drag the file and brought into the fusion tab it says this is not a valid format, what I can do about it , I am using DaVinci Resolve 18.

[@jesusistgott]

You need to pack it as ZIP file not as rar. (If you use win rar, select "zip" - you got 3 choices to choose from as what you want to pack it). This solved it for me. Somehow a rar pack wont work.

[@rishi2220]

Bang on 🔥

[@theadventuresofzoomandbettie]

This is so handy!!

[@subby]

the GOAT.

[@IsotonikStudios]

Would love to see how I’d save my own setting for drop shadow so I had different versions I could drag o to my clips?

[@ArtDigitalMediaTV]

Resolve 18 is still beta, right? Wasn't planning on upgrading right away. Have too many projects in the works and don't have the time. Are all the videos from now on going to be in 18? Will they still be compatible with 17?

[@darthbanefan101]

So I have followed this exactly and I keep getting the error "macro in incorrect bundle format". I even added a folder for Templates and then archived it but it still will not allow me to continue. Help!

[@ashleyarmstrong]

i'm having the same issue but not seeing any response to fixing it unfortunately

How can edit back tile template? The nods are not seen When I open it in fusion from effects library.

Hi, Casey, I do what it say I need to do but I can't get it to work every time I want to instil flyuptitle valid template bundle format

[@obscuraworkspace9665]

HELLO! is fusion better than after effects. Basically I am learning VFX and I want to know that does I need to learn after effects to get profession result. I can learn both . Please guide me.

[@CaseyFaris]

They can both do just about any VfX you’d like to do.

[@FloridaAmbient]

Unable to drag in anymore. In windows 11 double click it with davinci already open to the fusion window and it will prompt to install it.

[@paperfolder9013]

Template does not show up in fusion edit page, but shows up in effect page. Any idea why this happens?
