How Do I Add a Font in DaVinci Resolve?

Adding a new font to DaVinci Resolve involves installing the font on your operating system, after which DaVinci Resolve will automatically detect and make it available. Here's how:

1. Download the Font: Find and download your desired font from a reputable source. Make sure the font file is in a compatible format (e.g., .ttf, .otf).

2. Install the Font (Windows):

   • Locate the downloaded font file.
   • Right-click on the font file.
   • Select "Install". Alternatively, you can copy the font file to the C:\Windows\Fonts folder.

3. Install the Font (macOS):

   • Locate the downloaded font file.
   • Double-click the font file.
   • The Font Book application will open, displaying the font.
   • Click "Install Font" at the bottom of the Font Book window.

4. Restart DaVinci Resolve (if open): For DaVinci Resolve to recognize the newly installed font, you might need to restart the application. Sometimes, simply closing and re-opening the title/text tool in Resolve is enough.

5. Access the Font in DaVinci Resolve:

   • Open DaVinci Resolve and go to the "Edit" or "Fusion" page.
   • Add a Text+ title or a Text node.
   • In the Inspector panel (Edit page) or the Text node controls (Fusion page), find the font selection dropdown menu.
   • Your newly installed font should now be available in the list. You can search for the font if needed.
