Trim the size of the effect down to its smallest, and place it at the start of the small clip you’ve separated from the first photo. Go to Transitions, then Movements, then choose the Slide transition. This tiny clip is what we’ll be applying the effects to. First, place your two photos next two each other on your timeline, then use the Blade tool to cut the last five frames on your first clip. Just like Resolve, pulling off this effect is super-simple in Final Cut.

Resolve automatically sets the color to Black, so you’ll have to change it in the Effects tab once it’s on your timeline. All you have to do is go to your Toolbox on the left-hand side and hit Generators, then find Solid Color. DaVinci Resolve In your Toolbox, select Generators, then find Solid Color and change it to white.Īdding a matte is super-simple in Resolve. Before you can add it to your media browser or timeline, Premiere will prompt you to choose the color first.

Let’s go over how to create this white matte background in each of the major NLE’s. It’s also a good way for the viewer’s eyes to have a visual clue to the fact that they’re now looking at a photo that is separate from the footage. More than anything, it’s a presentation tool. It also reminds me of looking at a photo in a frame or at a museum with a white wall behind it. This is a good way to not crop or mess with the aspect ratio of your photo, while making it visually pop and separate itself from the background. Basically, your entire screen is a white screen, with your photo placed on top of it. This is the presentation/effect I see most often.
