How To Add TEXT Behind OBJECTS In Davinci Resolve

Creating a text behind the object effect is very easy to do in DaVinci Resolve. It just takes a few minutes to do. Davinci Resolve‘s Magic Mask is used for this effect. If you use a free version, I will also give you a step-by-step guide to create that effect. Let’s dive into it and know how to do it. I also give some pro tips, so don’t miss it.

First, we create a timeline structure and then create this effect in both versions.

• Drag and drop your main video clip.
• Go to the effects panel and search ‘Text’ and add that text layer on top of the video clip.
• Stretch the text clip according to your needs.
• Now edit your text style and font.
• After that, copy a main video clip and paste it on the upper side of the text.
• Now, the structure looks like your main text is in the middle, and the upper and lower sides are the main video clips.
• Now your timeline structure is complete.

Now we create this effect for the free version also, and if you use the studio version, you can also use this method.

• Go to the effects panel, and in the search option, select the ‘Select All’ option.
• Now search ‘3D keyer in Resolve FX Key.’
• Drag and apply in the top video layer.
• Now select the ‘Open Fx Overlay’ in the drop-down box at the bottom of the preview window layer.
• Now in the preview window, draw a line around the main subject.
• Note: Select the area around the subject. Don’t draw a line on the subject; it might remove your subject border or color.
• If you accidentally draw a line on the subject, you can correct this by using the ‘subtract’ option in the inspector panel.
• Now your effect is complete in the free version.

Now we create this effect in the studio version. In the studio version, we use the magic mask tool.

• Select the upper-layer video and select it, and go to the fusion page.
• Select the ‘mediain’ node and press { Ctrl + Space } to open a toolbox.
• In the toolbox, search ‘magic mask’ and add that node.
• In the inspector panel, we have 2 types: 1. Faster and 2. Better.
• (A faster is fast and gets faster output, and a better is slow but gets perfect results.)
• Select it according to your needs. In my case, I use a faster version.
• Now in the preview window, draw a line or add a point on the subject. And then the particular frame’s background is removed.
• Now tracking the subject ‘backwards and forwards’ and waiting for a few seconds to mask out the full subject.
• After the mask out is complete, go back to the edit page, and you can see the effect is complete.

• In the Magic Mask option, select the ‘Better’ option; it takes a few more seconds, but the mask out is very perfect.
• The magic mask option is a very good tool for masking the subject. I also created a few more blogs on the magic mask; you can read those blogs as well.
