Hi, sorry for the inconvenience. You can customize the title to your liking and then you can render it out as a transparent video file, with an Apple ProRes 4444 codec, which allows you to to enable the transparency (alpha channel). You can also use other output formats that support an alpha channel. Then simply import this video footage of the title into your project. This avoids having to use the dynamic project switching.

Hi Peter! I’m sorry about the inconvenience. Most times these problems happen due to Davinci’s caching issues.

To fix this, please first try these solutions:

1. Download and install the font from the “Fonts” folder

2. Try selecting the maco file (one where you customize the colors & text) and try changing one of the texts font. See if that solves the problem.

If they don’t help, then try doing these steps:

3. Try opening the fusion tab, and see if that forces Davinci to refresh files.

4. Try restarting Davinci, sometimes this helps.

5. If you’re using an Nvidia graphics card, try downloading Nvidia studio drivers. Gaming drivers sometimes can cause lots of bugs in Davinci. 

6. Go to fusion tab (1), select one of the footage nodes (2) and try toggling it’s on/off switch (3) as show in this picture: https://i.imgur.com/dksdQZO.jpg Sometimes this helps Davinci refresh the files once again.

7. If everything fails, you can try reconnecting the media files to the macro file as shown in this tutorial: https://youtu.be/YB9u35-u7ts

Please let me know if any of these help you, thanks!

Hi, Im sorry about the inconvenience. Have you installed the project as shown in the video tutorial? Also please meke sure you have updated Davinci to the latest version. The project does work with Davinci 17, but as always theres a chance for things not to work as intended due to a few reasons which can be resolved

Hi, sorry for the incovenience. I made you a little tutorial showcasing how to do this: https://youtu.be/tvnFCdVp1u4

You’ll basically need to a “Keyframe Stretcher” node in Fusion, between the title’s setup and the output node, as shown in the tutorial video.

Then you need to type in the keyframe range. This basically means between which frames the animation should be retimed. This lets you have the in and out animations untouched – with their original timings, if you want to retain that. Then only the middle part of the tittle gets retimed.

If you don’t want this, just enter 0 at start and then the last frame of the animation. (lets say animation is 149 frames long – then you should type in 0 and 149) – then all of the animation will be retimed to your new duration.

I hope this helps! If something is still unclear please let me know, thanks

P.S. this method can be used on other title templates aswell – if they’re missing this retiming feature.

I created this template long time ago, and at the time I wasn’t even aware of this functionality.. But now that I know, I’ll make sure to update this template with that functionality already enabled sometime in the near future.

Hi, for fixing the timing issue you can try this method: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvnFCdVp1u4

Of adding keyframe stretcher node to a titles macro file, between the macro node and output node. Then in stretch start type in 0, and at the stretch end – whatever frame the animation ends at. So for example, 180 frames animation would have 0 and 180 as its stretch numbers. Then all of the text animations will be stretched out / slowed down according to how much longer you make them.

As for copying the titles, yes it’s possible that way, but I figure the titles would be too basic without any graphics (and so would even get approved on videohive) sooo that’s how they need to be for now..

But you gave me a good idea to include separate macro files in my next projects

Thanks for your reply. I actually had watched that video and tried it. I noticed that the way shown in the video only let’s me to change the duration of the clip but not the actual animation speed. And the way you described is just too complicated that It would be just easier to create a new TEXT+ node and animate it.

I am not asking for a refund since I used it 2 or 3 of the title, since the speed of the animation was good enough to fit my project. But overall It is not that handy and useful of a structure as a template. Because you buy and purchase and buy templates so you could easily and fast get things done. Not that you would create even more steps and make things more complicated.

But overall, I appreciate your time and effort. Cheers!

Well I definitely get your points, and thanks for the constructive critique!

But if you still want to re-time the titles you can try this: https://youtu.be/RNK_vJHQWLI

(I basically select all keyframes and then easily re-time them with the box – then when the title animation is longer than the title duration I just make the title longer and boom – there’s a slower animation then Additionally, you can retime every single title separately if you expand the macro file in spline window, and then use this same retiming technique on each text separately – but that’s for more advanced users I guess)

As for templates in general, you usually get what you see along with what’s described in the project’s description. Mine didn’t mention any duration-changing features, nor animation speed altering capabilities. So maybe this time there was just a mismatch of expectations and my project just wasn’t the best fit for you in all aspects, unfortunately.

Even though I obviously understand that having all of the above features would be great for clients and for me as an author, but sometimes they are just not feasible or can’t be done in a “one press – magic happens” way, as much as I would like that to be the case.

As for the structure of the project in general, right now Davinci only allows for two types of templates: 1. Simpler titles, that can be installed into the Davinci titles panel, or 2. Fancier, more complex titles that can’t be installed that way, and need to be imported via the “dynamic project switching” feature. So we can’t yet have the best variant that would be the combination of those two projects and what I can feel you are describing when you mention your usability frustrations :/

But here’s to hoping that this get’s somehow improved in the future, as I would love easier Davinci titles installation – cause then my clients would be much happier

So yeah, thanks again for your comments, it was really nice to chat with you

Hi, you have to import this project using the “dynamic project switching” feature. Currently you can’t just drag it in from the Davinci panel.

Thanks for letting me know. If i can make a suggestion, because I like the look of this pack. I have a few titles, so having them all stored in DVR, so I can preview them makes it much easier and likely to use.

Thanks for your nice words! And yep, I totally understand, and I would have created the project this way if not for Davinci Resolve technical limitations..

Only the most basic of designs can be created this way. Animations using more complex effects need to be structured differently – especially if you want to retain the customisability of the template. But anyways, hopefully this will change with future Davinci Resolve updates

Hi, yes of course! The preview images are not even included in the project, and the colorfull background blurs can be turned off.

I see, a very few users indeed have problems with Davinci version 17 and I’m not yet sure what causes the problem for them. In the meantime, perhaps you could download Davinci version 16? The project should work just fine with it

I will definitely not go to the lower version 17 I have many improvements but I will ask for money back

I see, again so sorry that I wasn’t able to help you in this case.

Are you running on the latest version of davinci 17? And also did you install it the way shown in the help video? This step is very important.

yes I am….

Well then I don’t know what’s wrong.. If you want you can submit a refund request here: https://help.market.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/202821460-Can-I-Get-A-Refund-

Again sorry that it didn’t work properly for you.

Yeah I know this isn’t ideal, and I’m sorry for the inconveniences this causes. I wanted the titles to have external graphics + have color controls for it, and so for that, I needed to structure the project like this.

This is due to how Davinci currently handles adding external media, and color controls settings for templates. If interested, you can read more about this “problem” here: https://forums.envato.com/t/introducing-the-davinci-resolve-category/342515/27?u=atamotion

This template is usable in other projects, if you first import your project into my template project, as described above. For new projects, you can copy-paste the template project and then import your new project into a fresh copy of these titles. Another way is to “finish” the title in my project and then export them as a .mov file with transparency, or as a simple .mp4 video and then import this video into your project & then overlay that title footage on your own videos.

It’s not ideal, but hopefully, with time Davinci will change the way it handles such projects so that user workflows could be much more straightforward

I understand…but that just won’t fit the way I work. I will contact envato/videohive. Thanks.

I see, well thanks for giving my template a try anyways, and all the best!

Hi, sorry for the inconvenience. Did you install it the way it’s shown in the tutorial? If so, how exactly are you trying to view them, and at which stage of using them do you become unable to view them?

Thank you very much I managed, just one question, is there no possibility to save them under the effects library under titles? or do you always have to recharge them?

Very glad to hear that! Saving them to forever appear under titles isn’t an option right now unfortunately. BUT, you can easily import them into your projects (but not the other way around),by using the Dynamic Project Switching feature to open/import your projects timeline into my template project. Then you should be able to select a title from from my project and then easily copy/paste it into your project.

I hope this helps!

Hi, sorry for the inconvenience. Did you install it the way it’s shown in the tutorial? If so, how exactly are you trying to view them, and at which stage of using them do you become unable to view them?

Hey, so sorry to hear this. Is there any way you could get a hold of Davinci verison 16? These should work just fine with that. It seems this might be a problem with version 17 for you, that I’ll need to look into.

Btw did you install it the way show in the tutorial? I know sometimes we all get carried away or are in a rush and miss the fundamental parts : D

Update: it seems that Davinci Resolve 17 (beta “8”) version is known for having the issues you mentioned above with some projects. But anyways the final 17 version has been released a few days ago. Please update to it and then see if these problems still accour for you

To do so, you need to import your project into my titles project, (but not the other way around). To do so, use the Dynamic Project Switching feature. Then you should be able to select a title from all titles preview timeline of my project, and copy/paste it into your projects timeline without any errors.

To use this technique please follow this awesome tutorial here: https://youtu.be/v8S9Wpgykqk

Thank you! I’m just wondering how did you find this template? Cause it seems all davincni templates are currently hidden and I can’t seem to find a way to see what other authors have uploaded before the public release
