DaVinci Resolve 03/09/2021 5 min read

If you have ever edited a video you know just how time-consuming visual effects are. Just animating a simple title can take ages and coming up with great designs can be difficult and frustrating.  Add a busy schedule and lots of videos to edit and you will quickly lose many hours.  

This is where pre-made animated titles, transitions, and visual effects come into play. In DaVinci Resolve 17 these are called macros. Macros allow you to save your effects and animations for later re-use. Even better, DaVinci Resolve macros allow you to use animations and effects that someone else has made.

DaVinci Resolve macros are easy to install. Just drop the settings files in the correct folder for your operating system and restart DaVinci Resolve. Then drop onto your timeline and edit the settings in the Inspector. Marcos are a fantastic time-saver for DaVinci Resolve users.
