Import Videohead Overlays to DaVinci Resolve
Generate a custom overlay in Videohead, export with true transparency, and drop it onto your DaVinci Resolve timeline—no green screen, no Fusion setup required.
From Videohead to DaVinci Resolve
Before you start
- DaVinci Resolve (Free or Studio) on macOS, Windows, or Linux
- A Videohead account with an overlay generated and exported
- Export format WebM or MOV with alpha channel (up to 1080p)
- A Resolve project open with your base clip on the Edit page timeline
- 1.
Generate your overlay in Videohead
Describe the overlay you need, like a subscribe CTA, lower third, sticker, or text animation, at videohead.io. Adjust text, colors, and animations.
- 2.
Export with transparency
Click Export and download WebM or MOV with alpha. Your overlay with native transparency is ready to import into DaVinci Resolve.
- 3.
Import into the Media Pool
Open DaVinci Resolve, go to File → Import → Import Media (or drag the file from your desktop into the Media Pool). The clip appears in your project bins.
- 4.
Add to the timeline
Drag the overlay from the Media Pool onto a video track above your base footage. Place it at the moment you want the animation to appear.
- 5.
Adjust and deliver
Use the Inspector to scale and reposition the overlay if needed. Preview the timeline to check timing and transparency, then deliver your finished video from the Deliver page as usual.
Tips
Adapt without regenerating
Change text, colors, or timing in Videohead's configuration controls and export again for each video. Regenerate only when you need a new design.
Duration
Match overlay length to the moment in your edit; trim the clip on the Resolve timeline if needed.
Free vs Studio
Both DaVinci Resolve Free and Studio support transparent WebM and MOV imports on the Edit page. Studio adds more codec options if you need them.
No chroma key
You do not need to remove a green screen. Videohead exports a native alpha channel—backgrounds stay transparent in DaVinci Resolve.
