How to do Handwritting Effect in Davinci Resolve 19 | Tutorial

in today's video you'll learn how to create texts with the writing effect in just a few minutes you will know how to create this animation for your videos and totally free let's get started once inside DaVinci Resolve we have to place playhead over the clip in which we want to add the text and then go to the fusion module we select the median one node and then add a text we must click on the text plus icon clicking will create a text node and the merge OneNote to join both nodes perfect now that we have a text node let's create and customize our text we go to the inspector menu and within the text effect configuration we write the text that we want I recommend choosing a font that looks good with the writing effect in my case I'm going to choose a font that I've downloaded from the internet called gray light we increase the size of the title to our liking in the layout tab we can modify the X and y-axis to place the text where we want I modify the y-axis I'm going to put the title right up here perfect finally in the text tab I recommend separating the letters a bit with the option of tracking just a little bit this will make things easier for us when we do the writing effect okay now I have the text as I wanted let's create the writing effect we select the text one node and go to the effects menu located in the upper left we open the menu and look for the mask paint this one here we double click on it so that it connects it directly to the text one node as you can see we have connected The Mask paint one node with the text node great this step is very important we must select the node of the Mask paint effect and click on this brush icon up here don't forget to select this icon because otherwise you'll not be able to make the writing effect our text has disappeared in order to see the text we have to go to the mask Tab and activate the invert box now we can see the text again next we click on the controls tab here we will adjust the characteristics of the brush with which we're going to make the writing effect we display the option brush controls we must modify the size and softness of the brush if we place the cursor over the viewer we see that a green circle appears this green circle indicates the size of the brush currently it's too small it has to be the same or larger than the stroke of the letters it must cover everything I'm going to increase the size of the brush okay it's better now but just in case I'm going to increase it a bit more so that it can cover the entire stroke of the letter it's advisable to lower the softness option since 1.0 is a lot you can lower it to the minimum although I recommend leaving it with a value of 0.1 next we open the menu of stroke controls here we're going to modify the stroke animation setting drop down the options and choose the mode right on perfect we already have everything ready to make the writing effect let's get to it it's very easy we place the mouse cursor over the viewer it's advisable to zoom in the viewer and adjust the text this will help us to follow the outline of the letters you can zoom by by pressing the control key and moving the mouse wheel cool once we've placed the text correctly in the viewer we place ourselves at the first letter of all left click hold down do not release the mouse at any time until you reach the last letter now you just have to follow the stroke of the letters as if you were writing by hand don't be in a rush take as long as you need we'll adjust the duration of the animation later so no problem alright once we're done we see that a bunch of keyframes have appeared all these vertical lines are the keyframes with the movement of the writing animation if I play the video we see that the letter is disappearing we want the opposite we want the letters to appear for the letters to appear we must deactivate the invert box that we have previously activated now if I play the video we can see that the lyrics are appearing but we reach the end of the video and we can't see the entire text only a piece of the first letter has appeared don't worry as I told you before we have to adjust the duration of the animation so that it appears correctly to do this we activate the keyframes panel by clicking here perfect this is the keyframes panel here we must display mask paint one and we also display stroke one now we'll be able to see the keyframes of the animation these white rectangles but we can't see them all there are so many that they don't fit to decrease the zoom and be able to see them all click here above and move to the left we move to the left until we can see all the frames of the animation okay here are all the frames now we have to select them all when selected they will appear in yellow we right click on it and look for the option time stretching we click next we go to the right Edge click and move to the left in this way we will decrease the duration of the animation so that it appears complete in our video okay I'm going to zoom in a bit because I can't see anything we have a piece of the animation left out and now we place the animation where we want we can place it at the beginning of the video in the middle or at the end this depends on each one I'm going to put it at the beginning of the video once this is done as you can see now all the keyframes of the animation appear at the beginning it's all these vertical lines here let's see the final result there you have it as always here I leave you with the free DaVinci Resolve course where you'll learn to make a lot of incredible effects see you in the next video [Music] [Music]
