00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,640
Today I want to show you how to create an effect
in DaVinci Resolve that over the years has been
2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:09,200
used in the intros for countless movies and
TV series. And it's actually still being used
3
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:15,040
today. Most recently I saw it in the intro for
Stranger Things season 5. But it's not the name
4
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:25,200
or the the logo effect. No, it's the effect that
they use to open an episode. It's this effect.
5
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:31,600
[Music]
6
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:35,920
So, let me show you how to create this effect
in DaVinci Resolve, also in the free version,
7
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:40,800
by the way. And it's super easy. I'll show
you how to make it look exactly like this. So,
8
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:45,440
how it looks in Stranger Things. But, of course,
you can also tweak it and customize it so that
9
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:51,120
it fits your style or the style of the video that
you're working on. So, yeah, here we go. So, first
10
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:56,959
things first, we need a title. We need text. So,
just drop a text plus title on the timeline and
11
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:02,720
make it, I don't know, 30 seconds long. You can
make it however long you want, of course. Then,
12
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:09,200
pick a font you like. I used molot or molo here
for my example. And the color they use in the
13
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:14,960
intro for Stranger Things is red. And then also
add a solid color clip underneath, just plain
14
00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:21,839
black. And make it the same length for now as the
title. And then let's animate the title. Now guys,
15
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:27,440
when I say animate, I don't mean animate animate.
I just mean animate, if you know what I mean. A
16
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:34,640
few simple things to make it look more like film.
So what I did is I added a few effects. So select
17
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:40,560
the title and put the playhead on the title.
Then go to Fusion page, select the first node,
18
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:46,800
the template node, and hit shift plus spacebar and
find the film grain effect. I think in the free
19
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:52,399
version you'll only see the FGR effect here,
but I'm not 100% sure, so let me know in the
20
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:58,000
comments. Anyway, add it and tweak the settings if
you want. Then with the film grain node selected,
21
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:03,120
hit shift plus spacebar again and add the camera
shake effect. Now, why do I want to add the camera
22
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:08,960
shake effect? That's because when a movie is
shot on film, the image moves a bit. It's like
23
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:13,520
it has a slight vibration almost, and that's
because of the movement of the film when it's
24
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:18,480
being pulled through the camera. Also, the title,
pay attention to it next time when you watch an
25
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:24,959
older movie. The title also shakes a bit. Titles
on film are not perfectly still like a digitally
26
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:29,920
added title. And so, that's why I added the camera
shake effect. Now, with the default settings, the
27
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:36,239
title obviously moves way too much. So, you have
to tweak the settings in such a way that it moves
28
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:42,240
a lot faster. So, the movement has to be faster,
but not a lot of movement. You know what I mean?
29
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:47,360
So, you can just play around with the settings if
you want or copy the exact settings that I used.
30
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:53,200
Just pause the video here for a minute. Okay. And
then finally, with the camera shake node selected,
31
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:59,440
hit shift plus spacebar one last time and add a
subtle glow. I mean, you can make it less subtle
32
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:04,480
if you want, but I went for something subtle,
right? Barely visible glow. And that's it. Now,
33
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:10,640
I say that's it, but you know, always remember
you can add as many visual effects as you want.
34
00:03:10,640 --> 00:03:16,799
The cherry on top is always always the music.
And I used music from audio for my sequence, the
35
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:22,560
sponsor of this video. And recently, they've added
a super cool new feature called voices, which is
36
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:27,520
included in the brand new Pro Plus plan. And with
voices, you can make your own voice sound like
37
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:33,600
someone else, someone more professional maybe. And
the cool thing is that it uses a recording of your
38
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:40,239
own voice. So it sounds a lot more natural than
those pixtov voice applications. So, if you want a
39
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:45,440
professional sounding voice over, for example, you
should definitely try it out. Voices is included
40
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:50,320
in the Pro Plus plan, which also gives you access
to all the other AI features, unlimited music
41
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:55,280
and sound effects, and it doesn't have any client
limit restrictions. So, it doesn't matter how big
42
00:03:55,280 --> 00:04:00,480
your client is, you're always covered. And if you
use my link and discount code in the description,
43
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:05,519
you get 40% off. So, definitely go check it
out. And of course, thank you so much audio
44
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:10,160
for supporting my channel. Okay, and now back
to the intro sequence. So, we're done in the
45
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:15,920
fusion page. Let's go back to the edit page. And
well, I want to add one more effect, actually,
46
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:22,320
one that I also use in the intro for Stranger
Things, and that's a film dust and scratches
47
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:26,719
effect. Now, there are two ways you can do this.
If you're in the studio version of Resolve, just
48
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:32,160
add an adjustment clip on top of your title like
this, and then go to the color page, and here,
49
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:39,120
look for the film damage effect. apply it and then
just tweak the settings. Make the color white. And
50
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:44,080
I don't want any color change. So, I'm going
to set these here to zero. And I'll also turn
51
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:49,919
off this big scratch here. But I'll still have
these white specks, the film dust. And this is
52
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:55,040
what it looks like then. And if you're in the free
version of Resolve, you don't have the film damage
53
00:04:55,040 --> 00:05:00,480
effect. So, you'll have to use an overlay. And a
film dust and scratches overlay in this case is
54
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:06,080
basically a video clip of dust and scratches. It
looks like this. Now, you can buy one on websites
55
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:11,840
like Invado or just Google it and usually you'll
find a free overlay. And then all you have to do
56
00:05:11,840 --> 00:05:17,520
instead of adding the adjustment clip is add the
overlay on top of your title and set the composite
57
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:23,599
mode here to screen. And there you go. Film dust
and scratches. Okay. And once all that's done,
58
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:29,280
we have to create the main animation. You know
that zoom in fly through the title effect. And
59
00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:35,200
it's two parts. We have the title going from red
to transparent and then the zooming effect. So,
60
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:40,479
how do we do that? First, select the title clip
and enable the dynamic zoom down here. And then
61
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:47,040
also in the text settings, enable dynamic zoom.
Now, when I play the video clip, now it zooms out.
62
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:51,600
Right? And you can only see the zoom effect when
you when you actually play it, not when you're
63
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:56,000
navigating the timeline down here. But anyway,
when I play it, you can see that it zooms out,
64
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:01,520
right? But we don't want that. I want it to zoom
in. So just hit swap here. And now you'll see that
65
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:06,640
the green and the rectangle have swapped. So the
green rectangle is the starting point of the zoom
66
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:12,240
and the red one the end point. So I'll leave the
green one where it is. And then I'll put the red
67
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:19,040
one in the letter we want to fly through, so to
speak. And when I play it now, we get that nice
68
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:24,960
slow zoom animation. And now all that's left is
to make the title go from red to transparent.
69
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:32,719
So, put a video clip of whatever you want to
show through the title underneath everything
70
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:40,720
and then copy the title and
put it at the bottom like this.
71
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:46,160
Make sure that everything is in the same order.
Then make all the layers above the bottom title
72
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:51,280
invisible. Select the bottom title and make
the title color white. and then go to the
73
00:06:51,280 --> 00:06:58,799
fusion page and just remove the glow and the
film grain. Then go back to the edit page,
74
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:05,200
make the video clip visible again, and set the
composite mode to darken. And boom, we can see
75
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:10,640
the video clip through the title. So, here's the
thing. If you only want that fly through effect,
76
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:15,680
all you need is a white title at the bottom
with that dynamic zoom and a video clip with
77
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:21,600
a composite mode set to darken. But of course, we
also want the title to go from red to transparent.
78
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:27,760
So just make everything visible. And then shorten
the solid color however long you want. So the
79
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:33,680
title will stay red for the duration of the solid
color. Right click on the end of that solid color
80
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:39,520
and add a cross dissolve transition. Then select
the top title and put the playhead at the start of
81
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:45,680
that cross dissolve transition. Go to the settings
of the title and make a key frame for the opacity.
82
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:51,600
Set the playhead to the end of the cross dissolve.
Make another key frame for the opacity and set it
83
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:57,520
to zero. And now you'll see that the title will go
from red to transparent. And that's basically it.
84
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:03,039
That's in my opinion the easiest way to create
that opening sequence. But once you get this
85
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:09,040
effect working, analyze it. Analyze what every
layer does. Because like I said, for the base
86
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:14,240
effect, you only need two layers, right? The video
clip and the text layer with the zoom effect.
87
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:20,000
Everything else is optional, but it's important to
understand what every layer does so that you can
88
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:25,600
use these techniques and the the the concept
for other effects and for other edits. Okay,
89
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,200
that's all I wanted to say. Thank you so
much for watching and see you in the next
