to two minutes in DaVinci Resolve fusion all that stuff coming up if you're new here hit the subscribe button and the Bell notification be updated on the newest DaVinci Resolve tutorials put out so the first text in fact that we're gonna learn is the mirrored text effect the second one is the transparent effect the third is the neon light effect the fourth is the 3d effect and finally the fifth is the right on text effect so let's just shove it in resolve and I'm gonna show you how all of these are done so the first we're gonna learn is the mirrored text effect so in fusion you have your background or media in and your media out what you're gonna do is you're gonna add in a merge node and then a text node and connect the text node to the merge node then enter your text and pick two fonts all these fonts by the way are linked in the description as usual increase the size of your text and reposition it so that you have enough room for the reflection below next copy the text node with ctrl C and paste it with control V and then add an emerging out under text one and then connect both text together then under the new text what you're gonna do is you're gonna add a transform node and in the inspector tab select flip horizontally and now you're gonna see that we have the beginning of the mirror effect next grab the rectangle mask and add it to your mere text expand the mask so it isn't being cut off on the sides then in the inspector to have soften the edge of the mask 2.0 seven four so now you can see that we have this mirror effect right here all that's left for this is that we're gonna animate the mirror reveal so go to frame 45 and actually add your ending point first and click the diamond button to add a new keyframe then move to frame 20 and drag the mask up to where you can't see the mirror text at all so now you see we have this kind of mirrored reveal effect so the last thing to do is to add some Gaussian blur after this transform node and then just adjust the blur amount in the inspector tab this is really gonna sell the reflection effect so let's move on to our second effect which is the transparent effect this one is super easy so in your fusion Comp ad background note and while the background is selected also at a text node you can see that it's just combined together with the merge node so enter your text for me it's just City and then increase the size to however big you want it you can also add a transform node under the text node if you want to make your text even bigger but you don't have to do this it's only if you want to make your text bigger so click on this merge node and then go to the operator tab and select X or so this is at you're going to make the text transparent and finally just merge the text together with your media and now you can see that the video is actually playing through the text you can also change the color of the background and even replace the background node with video by deleting the background node and connecting an image or like a video to the merge node alright so moving on to our third effect the neon light effect first add your text node and then enter your text then choose the font for this one it's actually pretty important so I'm using reef so increase the size of the font to whatever you want then make the text color something bright this looks pretty good right here then you're in a copy and paste that text node two times one's gonna be disconnected up here and the other one you want to merge after the media in node you'll also want to change the color of this one to a very dark yellow kind of black and you'll do that by just dragging down the slider next under this text you're gonna add in a glow effect and a soft glow effect and then under our original text you're gonna want to add in the box blur so now we need to mess with some of the settings of these notes starting on the soft glow bring the gain down to about one point two six and bring the glow size up to 100% then bring down the blend to above point eight five next under the glow node change the apply mode from normal to threshold and then on the high end drag the slider down to about point seven now move to the box blur and put it in your viewer and drag the vertical and horizontal strength up to about point nine five what you're gonna do next is merge both of these texts together and then merge that with the rest of the stuff so now you see we have this neon glow and the final step for this is to make the flicker effect so under frame 10 click on this merge node and add a keyframe under blend and then drag it down to zero move to the next frame with the arrow key and bring it back up to 1 move forward one frame and bring it back down to zero and on the next frame you're gonna bring it back to 1 and then once again the next frame is zero and then skip like 10 or 15 frames and do the exact same thing so now you see we have this neon text effect with a flicker effect so let's move on to our fourth effect the 3d text effect so first add your text then drag this node pretty far away and enter your text you can also change your font I'm using Bungie for this one then change the color and scale it up to what you want next add the shadow effect change the color to your background color by using the color picker obviously if you can so next zoom in on the text and use the shadow offset to change the shadow positioning so we want the shadow to smoothly transition into this like 3d effect so have the shadow offset just a little but you want this to be a smooth curve right here at the edges then copy your shadow node paste it and add it back in and now you're gonna see that I got bolder and it's not leaving any jagged edges copy and paste it 4 more times now the last thing to do is to add our white 3d backing so paste the shadow again and this time change the color to white then copy and paste that node two more times so now you have the 3d text effects so moving on to our fifth and final effect the infamous write-on effect so first add your text and then add the mask painter node and connect it to your text node then of course enter your text and change your font to a fancy brush kind of text then go back to your mask paint node and click on the mask tab in the inspector tab and then check invert so now you can see your text then go back to your text node and scale up the size of the text so under your mask paint node at the top you'll see this hot bar appears right now multi stroke is selected change it to stroke then in the inspector tab change to the controls page and go to brush controls now change the brush shape to a solid and change the size of the brush to where this green circle around your cursor is big enough to cover the stroke of each letter then go to stroke controls and under stroke animation change it to right on now you can start tracing the text in one stroke until it's all gone and once you've done that you'll see keyframes pop up in the timeline so now under the mask paint node turn off the invert so now instead of disappearing text it'll be written on the last step is to speed up the write on effect so go to your keyframes tab and hit the drop down arrow for mask paint and do the same thing for stroke select a time stretch tool on the bottom left and highlight the keyframes and now you're going to see these handles appear on both sides so you want to move these keyframes together to where the whole effect happens in about a second and a half so then go back to your selection tool by hitting V on the keyboard highlight the keyframes once again and then drag them to the place that you want to see this effect to take place so there you go five super simple text effects in DaVinci
