Really appreciated this video. Want to add that to do the Version 2: Position Animation you must have the "Allow typing in the preview window" activated in the upper left of viewer window - looks like "A|B" - Had to do some troubleshooting to figure out why I couldn't select the text in the viewer. Thanks again!
This is amazing. Since you're the only guy who's making mograph tutorials in Fusion, please make videos about the Krokodove tools in Reactor. It's an absolute gem filled with powerful tools for motion graphics and vfx.
Hey Toby :) glad it's been helpful my friend! Thanks for checking out the channel. Fusion is super powerful. Intimidating at first but in no time you'll be crazy fast in there!
I've been wondering how they do those complex word by word highlight and colour changes on all those youtube shorts. This whole time I had the power to do it, and didn't know what it was called. Subscribed!
Bryan you should work with video for a living, you make damn good ones! There's plenty of good tutorials out there, but I'd say yours contain that extra amount of value. Much appreciated.
Thank you so much for this, this was perfect for my project! I'm new to this whole video editing thing and will eventually learn to make these myself (I think) new subscriber here
I really wish Blackmagic would completely revamp how text animation works. I’ve always found it quite cumbersome to do even some of the most basic animations like you demonstrate here. After Effects is still king when it comes to text animating I hate to admit.
Hey! I figured out an easier workaround for the word by word translation animation. You need to keyframe two values in the transform tab of the follower: Pivot and Size. Set the size keyframe difference very small (first can be 0.99 and second 1.00) and then set the start keyframe of the pivot very large (in the direction you want the movement to come from). The smaller the size keyframe difference, the larger the pivot keyframe difference needs to be. Since the pivot is moving the center of the sizing animation, you can cheat the system by moving your pivot distance to the moon and create a visible translation animation with imperceivable sizing change. Hope this helps someone!
There's a time that I wanted to do this and I just ended up going for a different animation. Thanks for giving us an option. Blackmagic really should update the follower. Another issue is if your text has a shadow or outline (or both), you would have to animate that separately if you're doing character-wise animation. It makes more sense to just have everything in the transform tab as opposed to the shading tab.
@@RyanOsborneUK hey ryan, I have asked 100s of after effects users about why they don't want to switch to fusion, All of them told me this. Most of them are working with youtubers who demand A particular type of motion graphics(this type is the most popular yet no one(including you ) made any tutorials on davinci resolve yet ;( This particular type of motion graphics is everywhere on youtube and trending and everyone want to do it. How can i show you the type of MG i'm explaining? is there any way i can contact you and send over the things i'm describing??
im an avid After effects user and do lots of type animation, they have a whole system to hoping Black Magic gives us some updates for text follower soon
I do think there's value in showing the limitations of software, and then showing how to work around them. Though, I agree there ought to be a more automatic way to achieve this.
I'm sure you can move the text node by grabbing hold of the text node handle in the middle of the sentence, which looks like an arrow pointing upwards and the other one pointing to the right
Thank you Ryan. Super interesting. I've never used the manual curve but that's a good tip. I also hope they fix the path window popping up every time I make a change in the positions (besides the fact, that position values are under the shading tab 😀 - which to me is also a bit strange).
Great video man, super helpful. And nice editing as well. I totally agree it's such a bizarre choice to not have a position animator under the Transform tab of the follower. CMON DVR! You know what does have a position animator? The Shading tab. If you keyframe the Offset X/Y found under Shading Tab -> Position subheader, you will be able to animate and delay the position of characters/words. Note: if you use this (^) method, you need to animate the offset back in the Follower modifier, not the new Path1 that generates from creating a keyframe. EDIT: NVM this only does character by character animation. Word by Word is a current limitation of the follower in Fusion. Sadge.
Good looking out friend. This can come in handy on day but I'm in the hunt for "Underlining Each Word" or "Underline/highlight each word" template. Do you have?
Thanks for the cool video. Do you know if it is possible to bind text features such as (font, style, color...) in Text+ to individual clips. I need to create subtitles and I add text+ in the format of clips to the timeline so I can animate them. And for example, there are a lot of clips, and I need to change the font or color in all text boxes. Is there such a possibility? Thank you.
You’re very welcome. Not quite sure I understand though. Are you trying to change ALL of the text clips to the same font, style, colour etc? From the edit page?
@@RyanOsborneUK Yes. For example, I'm on the edit page, I added Text+, stretched it for 1-2 minutes and cut it into parts. I have written subtitles in each text block and I need to change the font, color or modify the text in the shading elements tab in all blocks. I can only do this by selecting one cut block. If I select all the others, this is not possible.
@@souhaillokman6619 I'm not sure if I've been misunderstood. I meant when you create a new text on the timeline, you drag the "Text+" panel (block) from the Toolbox window. Then this panel is cut off with a blade, i.e. the blocks with text are already divided on the timeline. And if you dragged a "text" block, then by selecting all the cut blocks, you can change the font and color in the inspector. If it is "Text+", then this is not possible. My question is whether there is any way to bind or synchronize these blocks (text+) with each other so that it is possible to change at least the font. Sorry if I confused you :)
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-c4Zw5hf8TS0.htmlsi=8OKR1XLCces5rbAg Already covered this one. Check out the last point in this video 😊👍 You’ll have to install reactor. Which I also cover towards the end of the video. All the best 👍
Thank you so much, Ryan. Saved a lot of time again. 🙂 However, still astonished, that there is still no easier way to animate word by word or line by line when it comes to the position....and why is position in the shading tab anyway?? 🤔
I already struggle to open this up in Fusion... I am missing the first step kind of. I created a "text" bit on my timeline and then want to open it up in fusion but I don't know how or what is the first step?
When I go to the Fusion page, all I see at the bottom where you had the “text node” is what I’m guessing it’s called, is “mediain1” and “mediaout1” how to I get to the point where I can even click on a text node like you did? I do have my text box already inserted on the edit page, is that where this begins? Or am I missing something?
Thank you 🙏 yes! check out the last step in this video. It’s a tool called AudioWaveform from Reactor ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-c4Zw5hf8TS0.html If you’re unsure how to set up reactor, I break it down in this video too 😊 hope this helps
Bro, I have a request for you. But before asking, I would like to explain why I am requesting for that. The way you explained the whole working and workflow of fusion(i have watched all of your other videos resolve related)...and holy, it's just got fixed into my brain(even though i have 2 brain cells). Probably I will never forget anytime soon. So here is my request, be the one and only best Fusion tutorial channel on RU-vid. Yes ofcourse, you can change your topic or type of content in the later future, I wouldn't mind it. Asking because, the way you teach is just awesome. Both visually and with a calm voice. I want you to be the "Jake in motion" for Fusion, just kidding you dont have to be the carbon copy of another dude. Just share some more tutorial about resolve fusion. That's it buddy. Do your best. Do what you love. I am a subscriber since 3.2k. And i know this channel has more than a million sub potential. Do your best
This gave me a massive smile haha. Thank you my dude! 😊 no plans to stop and only want to keep providing value to people. I’m pleased it’s been useful for you. I’ve not enabled donations on RU-vid for now, so that’s why you can’t find that 😊 I’m happy enough to give my content away for free. Thanks again 🙌
Thank you!! Is there a way to insert a longer pause between 2 words in the middle of the sentence, then carry on appearing at the same speed? < for example if that sentence was animated, there'd be a pause at the comma. I ended up using 2 text nodes + a Merge, then just moving them and the keyframes manually.
Hey there, first of all, thank you very much for this great tutorial and the even better plugin. I have a problem: For better readability, I would like to have outlines around the text. I just can't get it to work. Can you help me? Many thanks in advance! PS: The thing with the dropshadow-node worked so far. It would be nice to have a faster way to implement it to your plugin.
Hi Ryan, I recently tried to add permanently visible text like this to my first RU-vid Short video. I just did it in the edit page and it all looked fine before I exported it, but when it appeared on my RU-vid channel the text had disappeared. I spoke to RU-vid help and they tried to tell me that RU-vid Shorts is not set up for this , which seems wrong as just about every short you watch has text. Why do you think the Short didn’t upload with the text included?
At the risk of sounding silly… did you check your video file before you uploaded it? How did you export the video from resolve? Because RU-vid won’t alter your video like that. If it didn’t appear on RU-vid, my guess is it wasn’t on the exported file to begin with
For some reason when I do anything to the text node nothing happens, I did notice, that when I put a delay on it affected my audio instead. I have no idea what's happening. Help, please!
Does anyone know how to have the timeline background show while in Fusion? I need to edit text and set key frames word by word based on how my speaker is speaking and I don't want to guess at the frames.
Hey Ryan I'm bashing my head against the wall trying to figure out how to change the anchor point for the text scaling , I don't think it's possible? like to have each word pop up from the left instead of dead center
I'm not able to go from the edit page to the fusion page. Let me explain. I have my background and text clips separately in the edit page, I then select the text clip and tap on the fusion page but nothing shows. I also tried creating a fusion composition from the text clip but there doesn't seem to be an option. Help pls :(
Nice job. But this is not enough for text animation. we need more variation. So if you can show us how to animate the position of every word too it would be better for us.
can you do a tutorial on creating a template? Lets say i want to create a really cool unique font style for every video I upload for the rest of my channel life how do I do that without recreating it every time I make a new project?
Hi Ryan, I wanted to know if you could help me figure out how to animate the letters individually. Text node selected. Transform node selected in the Inspector. How do I animate the "Y" (allowing each letter to turn 360 at the same time). I'm following and templating your tutorial with a different result for the text (no shadow node). Please help if you can?
Hello, I'm trying to learn davinci, when I change the Timing, I don't see as I have no Timing Tab and the Modifiers tab is also grayed from my end. How do I fix this? Thank you!
Hey Ryan, thanks so much for this, I was able to kill it in DaVinci today but I have a question,, with the Word by Word plugin I was not able to get text shading like drop shadow to work within Fusion, on the clips that I did myself I was able to, how can I get the drop shadow etc with the plugin on the Text Settings page, it does nothing
Amazing dude, glad to hear it 💪 okay so right click the word by word clip, open in fusion and then in between the word by word node and the media out, add a “drop shadow” node in between the chain. Unfortunately I didn’t add an easy way to add this from the edit page but… this should work for you 😄 all the best!
