Adding Titles; Adding Audio Tracks - Blackmagicdesign Cinema Operation Manual

Using DaVinci Resolve
35
Simply drag and drop transitions between adjoining clips.
Drag a title type from the 'titles' palette and drop it on an
empty track.
To add a new audio or video track, right click next to a track
name and select 'add track'. For audio, select the track
type you want.
Step 2. Click on the 'cross dissolve' transition, drag it to your timeline and hover it over the edit
point between two clips. You'll see the mouse pointer highlight both the end section of the
first clip, and the start of the second. Drop the transition onto the clips. It's important both
clips have enough length before and after their edit points to make room for the dissolve.
You now have a smooth transition mixing from one clip to the other. If you want to adjust the length
of the transition you can lengthen or shorten its start and end point using a similar approach to
trimming a clip. Hover your mouse pointer over the start or end of the transition until the transition
trim icon appears, then drag it left or right.

Adding Titles

It's easy to create titles for your edit. You can place a title on any video track just as you would a clip.
If you run out of tracks you can easily add new ones by right clicking next to an existing track name
and selecting 'add track'.
To create a title:
Step 1.
Go to the toolbox in the 'effects library' located underneath the media pool and you'll
see the 'titles' palette. Use the scroll bar to reveal more titles options.
Step 2. Drag and drop a basic text title on the empty video track above the clip you want the
title to appear. You can even drop your title next to a clip on Video 1 if you just want it to
appear over black. To see the title, make sure the timeline playhead is on the title.
Step 3. Double click on the title clip. The 'inspector' window will appear showing you the settings
for your title. Type your title into the 'text' window.
You can choose from a variety of fonts and adjust the appearance of your title by changing settings
such as color, size, alignment, position, and more. Transitions can be added to titles, just like they
can for clips.

Adding Audio Tracks

If you want to mix a large sound edit with lots of sound effects and music, you can easily add more
audio tracks when you need them.
To add an audio track:
Step 1. Right click next to the name of the last audio track on your timeline and select 'add track'.
Step 2. Select the type of audio track you want, such as stereo, mono, 5.1 or adaptive.
