Animation in ROKLIM is not only for captions. The Animations module puts a Fusion animation on any Text+ clip — titles, name plates, lower thirds, callouts — chosen by the clip's colour. Colour the clips once, and every clip of a colour gets the same animation in one run.
Step by step
- In Resolve give your Text+ clips colours: right-click a clip → Clip Color. For example orange for titles, teal for name plates.
- Open ROKLIM → Animations.
- Each row is a colour and its animation — a Fusion
.settingfile. Web opens free ROKLIM animations with previews; … picks your own file; + Add color adds a row. - Set the video tracks your Text+ clips are on, and the time range (ROKLIM reads the I and O marks from Resolve by itself) — or tick Selected clips only.
- Press RUN.
Every Text+ clip of that colour in the range now has that animation. CLEAR ANIMATIONS takes them off again.
Useful options
- Fit animation to clip length — squeezes animations that are longer than a share of the clip, so a long intro never outlasts a short title.
- ADD ANIMATION — adds a second animation on top (for example an intro, then an exit), with a choice of Start, Center or End of the clip.
- EDIT ANIMATION — change animations that are already on the clips right on the DaVinci viewer: drag the points of the path, move and stretch the timing, change their colours and settings.
- Your own animations — any
.settingfile works: build an animation once in Fusion, save it with Save as Macro (under ADVANCED USER), and reuse it on every project.
Sound and effects with it
- SFX can put a sound on every clip of a colour — a whoosh under each title.
- VFX places effects at timeline markers, for example a flash or a zoom when a title appears.
