Part 2: How to Use DaVinci Resolve Slideshow Templates
So now we’re going to show you how to put one of our Davinci Resolve Slideshow Templates to good use! For this tutorial, we’re going to be using the Stylish Photo Slideshow, but you’ll be able to cater this tutorial for any other DaVinci Resolve Slideshow template.
- Begin by opening up Davinci Resolve and you’ll be taken directly into the project manager where you can launch one of your works in progress or start with a fresh project in the timeline.
- Right-click anywhere on the grey area in the project manager and select Restore project archive from the dropdown menu. Use the finder to locate your newly downloaded template.
- There will be a few different versions of the template in each folder, each with a different frame rate available to work with. Simply select from the variety of standardized framerates to cater to your project’s needs. We recommend working in 25fps.
- Locate the media pool on the left-hand side which should contain three folders: Other, Edit, and Final.
- To import your photos and videos or customize any text layers in the template, you will be using the Edit folder.
Note: The Final folder is where you can access the final outcome of your custom template. The Other folder is where you’ll find the key design elements integrated into the final template.
- Start customizing by dragging the files into the Media pool or importing them directly.
Note: Right-click in the column and create a new Bin. This will help keep all your materials tidy and easily accessible.
- Open up the Media files in the Edit folder and start dropping your images into the timeline.
Note: If you are using both photos and videos, you may need to adjust the size of your media to cater to the varying resolution. You can do this by simply selecting the media in the timeline you want to edit and going into the Inspector on the top right hand side and scaling the zoom option up or down until your content fits the frame.
- Make sure you drag out the length of the file in the timeline to cover any gaps between each animation on screen in the final template.
- In most templates, 13 seconds should allow enough time for each image to be on screen before the next piece transitions in. Make sure to playback your project in the Final tab and edit accordingly.
Note: Easily switch between your images or clips and your final project in the tabs above the main timeline.
- In order to edit your Text files, select the Edit folder, hit Text, and customize each media file using the Inspector. Make sure it’s highlighted in the timeline too.
- Adjust your typography to your preferred specifications, changing the font style, size, positioning, and color. For this example, we will change the text field from “Stylish” to “Memories”.
- Continue to do this with all the text media files in the Edit folder until you’re happy with the customized type elements.
- Now all you have to do is repeat those steps until you have successfully dragged all of your chosen content for image and text into the Edit folder and the accompanying timelines.
- Once you switch back to the Final tab, you’ll be able to playback both your custom images and text together in the final template timeline.
And there you have it! If everything looks good and plays back smoothly then all that’s left is to export the final piece.
We certainly can’t wait to see what you will create as you make the most out of our Davinci Resolve Slideshow Templates. If you also need some additional templates for DaVinci Resolve, head over to our awesome Title Templates for DaVinci Resolve, you won’t regret it!
