Since you’ve selected “Smart”, DaVinci Resolve will automatically render cache the clip when you hit the play button or be inactive for 5 seconds. When you enable the “Smart” render cache, you’ll see a red line on top of your text box in the timeline, indicating the text has a computationally intensive effect. Go to the menu and click on the “Playback” > “Render Cache” > select “Smart”. Once it’s rendered, and if you hit the play button, the title will play out with the black background.Īnother important setting you must know is – the render cache. If this is the case, you can right-click on the clip and select “Render In Place”. That is because it is struggling to playback in real time. So when you have a title in a black background and hit play, you’ll only see the black background first. This could mostly happen when you drop a fusion title with effects – these are computationally intensive effects that could strain your computer resources.

Many users have faced this issue – after dragging and dropping the title or text box into the timeline, the title is missing, or black background is displayed with no text. But if you use third-party title effects, you need to manually render cache the title by right-clicking it and selecting “Render Cache OFX Filter” > choose the desired effect to enable it.ĭo keep in mind – before generating Optimized media or Proxy Media or Render Cache, you should have selected the correct format like DNxHR for Windows or ProRes for Mac from the “Project Settings” > “Optimized Media and Render Cache” section.ĭaVinci Resolve Title Not Showing After Adding It – Has Black Background But if you’ve already generated optimized media (or proxy media), you can “Render In Place” the desired clips in the timeline.įor an efficient workflow, turn on the automatic caching. To have a real-time playback and make the GPU status indicator green, first generate optimized media or proxy media.

The playback can be choppy or stuttering, and the export (render) time can be time-consuming!

Title blocks like the “Text +” and other Fusion Titles, such as – Call Out, Background Reveal, Digital Glitch, etc., have built-in effects which can stress your computer’s resources. After Adding Title, the GPU FPS Drops (Computer Slows Down)
