How do we get back to all those attributes we had for the Call Out? And what if we want to add multiple labels? For this we need to back-track a little, because right now in our node space we have these MediaIn nodes for both the footage and the Call Out, and we can’t “open” those up or change their parameters. Unfortunately we’ve lost quite a bit of control here for the label.
The default leader line is kind of ugly, so adjust it’s color and the appearance of the dot at the end with the Line > Color swatch and Line > Point Corners/Rotation controls.Next we can change the label’s position on the screen with the “Text Position” controls, and the end of the leader line with the “Line Position” controls.Use the "V Anchor" and "H Anchor" controls to do so. Next adjust the position of the text in relation to the leader line.Adjust the font type and size, tracking, etc.Click on the “Call Out” node and you’ll see a bunch of options open up in the Inspector along the right side of the UI.Whenever you click the Fusion tab in DaVinci Resolve, it will open up the Fusion nodes for whatever element is in the top-most track your playhead is over. Hover the playhead over the “Call Out” and go to the Fusion tab.If you double-click this it will insert it into your Timeline, but it might not go to the right track, so click and drag instead to get exact placement. In the Effects Library, navigate to Toolbox > Titles > Fusion Titles.Now, in the upper left of your UI, click on the tab for “Effects Library” if it's not already active.So hover over the left-hand side of your Timeline and Rt-click, then select “Add Track” Rt-click on the Timeline and make a new track, similar for subtitles but this one is just an empty track.Here’s the simplest way I’ve found to set up labels that skips some of the steps from those tutorials.

There are two great tutorials out there I’ll recommend for setting up labels (see references below, they’re the ones with asterisks), these tutorials describe how to build labels from scratch, so check them out if you want maximum control over the look and feel of your text elements. While it’s annoying you have to remember to do this every time you export, it’s also pretty cool that DaVinci Resolve automatically gives you the option here of turning off or exporting the captions instead to a sidecar file like an SRT, because this means that with this Export Subtitle option, you can turn off captions for the entire video with one click!

In our videos we’ve found that often you can’t always predict how light or dark the footage behind the text will be, and in our content we often have the full value range during the course of a video, so adding a caption bar behind the text ensures it always stands out.Switch it on and adjust the Offset parameters to see it–you can also change the blur radius and opacity. The Drop Shadow effect can be helpful to have your text stand out against any color background.If you find your text is cutting off and wrapping to a second line prematurely, you can change the character limit per line by clicking the gear icon in the lower right and going to the "Subtitles" menu.
Go to Transform > Position and adjust the X and Y values to your liking. Here we can adjust the font and appearance as well as the position.
To change the position of the text, click on the “Style” tab to the right of the “Caption” tab in the Inspector.Now in the top right of the UI in the Inspector, you can change the text of the subtitle.Rt-click in the empty space and select the only option “Add Subtitle” Select “Add Subtitle Track” and a new track will be added above Video 1.In your DaVinci project, once you have a Timeline to work on, you can add text captions by Rt-clicking on the space where Video 1 and Audio 1 are listed to the left of where your clips are, or will be.Text captions can be easily added in DaVinci Resolve with pre-made effects.
