  • adjust keyframes for ‘write on’ text?

    After adding some keyframes to make text write on with the Text+ editing parameters, how do you then access those keyframes to adjust them?

    Hey Tim,

    In Resolve 20 the way keyframes are managed for Write On text is a little different. You can set them in the Inspector on the Edit page, but to really adjust and fine-tune them you’ll want to jump into the Fusion page and use the Spline editor. Here’s a quick step-by-step with screenshots to guide you.

     

    • 1. Switch to Fusion and open Spline
    • With your Text+ clip selected, click into the Fusion tab at the bottom.
    • You’ll see your Text+ node connected to MediaOut. (Red box in the screenshot below shows exactly where the Write On controls live.)
    • At the top, click the Spline button (highlighted in red in the screenshot).
    • Check Write On Start/End in the list and hit “Zoom to Fit.

    3. Adjust your animation curve

    • Now you’ll see the Write On keyframes as lines.
    • Drag the keyframes left/right to change timing.
    • Use the curve handles (yellow box area) to smooth the animation, or right-click a keyframe to adjust easing
