Davinci Resolve Looping Animation - Loop anything in Resolve

hey guys t allen back with digital vector studios today i'm going to cover another topic on davinci resolve animation this time i'll cover repeating or looping animation using the built-in tools in davinci resolve looping animation obviously has a lot of benefits for creating motion graphics and other animation in resolve so let's get started okay so i'm in the edit page now and i have a background layer already in place at the bottom of the stack on the timeline so everything i put on top of this image will show up on top of this basketball court here so today what i want to do is i want to create some repeating animation in resolve and there's some tricks on how to do this and so i'm going to use the built-in repeating animation features within resolve that's going to save a lot of time the repeating animation will automatically update that's a cool feature and resolve and so i'm going to dig in a little bit deeper in resolve and show you what it's actually doing in the background so you can use that for other ideas and options in your own projects so let's go ahead and get started i'm going to want to go ahead and use an effect here a fusion composition so let's drag it onto the timeline and it's going to cover up that background because it's just black by nature but while i have it in there i'm going to right click on this fusion and say open infusion page okay so it's just giving me a blank canvas here which is really cool so i'm going to go ahead and drag this basketball over here and i'm going to connect it into our media out so we can see this png i have here so it's a transparent background png so what i want to do now is i have this this media in you can see i don't really have any motion controls here so i want to make sure i have a transform node into this slow area here so let's go ahead and drag that down and if i hold down the shift button you can see that i get this option to just drop it and it'll automatically connect it in here we have a transform now i want to do a couple things here so first of all i want to make the size of this quite a bit smaller so i'll go down to about and 0.36 is good and the next thing i want to do is start creating some animation so let's go to the very left side of the timeline here and the center point you can see is right in the middle of that basketball which is what i want okay so i'm going to start in the center of the screen here at 0.5.5 for x y and if i move these around you can see that that these will move but i need to do some animation so this little control over here to the right will start our animation so i'm going to go ahead and hit a keyframe at that zero position on the timeline then i'll go over here to frame four and i'm going to drop this down to the very bottom here the screen and you can see resolve made an automatic timeline keyframe in there for me we'll go the next point i think 17 will be good and i'll just bring that back to 0.5 as you can see resolve did make these keyframe points in there for me these little white hashes in there in the timeline here so you can see i have that motion now just kind of dropping down and going back up to the original location so that's pretty easy to do and i could continue to make this animation along here and obviously i could go back in the timeline and shorten my clip and then copy paste that that little clip in there over and over to do this repeating but i don't want to do that because i want to keep in my automation so if i want to make changes then i can easily go back in there and do that which is really cool so to do this we're going to look at the spline editor and go ahead and select the transform locations here so now you can see what's happening with our curve here and if you want to manipulate within this window you can just hold down your middle wheel button if you have one of those a three button mouse and hold it down you can just move this timeline around and if you hold down the control button command on a mac and roll your wheel you can zoom in and out of this curve here and if you want to just zoom extents you can just hit that button there all right so the next thing i want to do is i want to go over to the far side of the timeline at timeline zero you can either just slide it over go over here and type in zero and so i have my points here in my timeline so i'm going to go ahead and select all the points here and then i have these options here at the bottom so i want to use this set loop option or you can you can do it over here or you can do it on if you right click on the actual clip here okay so you can see what happened when i did that this repeating motion came up here now if we go back to the edit window you can just click this button or hit shift four you can see we're just going to get that nice basketball dribbling effect just kind of going up and down there so let's go back to the fusion page now i'm going to right click in this clip say open infusion page and so the cool thing here is so i have this animation and say i don't really like it is i go in here and i say all right let's go in here and ease this thing let's do a in quadratic and so you can see what happens so everything change in all these repeating loops automatically for me because it's all tied together say i don't like that it's kind of too slow coming out of this i don't really like that so i'm going to just grab these two points and we'll make these let's make these linear and i don't love that one either so i grab this one and i'm going to do an ease in ease out and i'm going to kind of flatten that at the top there and what's cool is then all these repeating animations are recreated from that initial animation so that saves us a lot of time and so to dig in a little bit deeper you can see i have this transform node still selected it creates this modifiers on there so you can see what's happening here and it created this displacement through this transform node you can see it's going to go from zero displacement at the initial and it goes to point five which is halfway through our animation and then it's going to go to one so we now have a path it calls it path one and so just that animation path itself is created there and now we have this displacement and so this is published out there for anything else that we want to add to it okay so to wrap up here's my final animation and we created that very quickly using the repeating animation features build and resolve and hopefully you picked up something new with this tutorial if you have any questions go ahead and post them in the comments below and i'll try to get those answered for you i appreciate your time watching today take
