DaVinci Resolve was once thought of as only a professional color-correction platform. However, DaVinci Resolve decided that wasn’t enough and has since expanded the platform to become an all-in-one video editing platform serving everyone from feature film editors to YouTubers.

While the software has added tons of new features that allow you to edit video, adjust color, add graphics, and much more, one thing that makes DaVinci Resolve even more versatile is its ability to accept plugins and templates for new features and tools. 

In this guide, we’ll go over some of our favorite DaVinci Resolve templates for transitions, graphics, and much more to enhance your video production workflow. 

What can you use DaVinci Resolve templates for?

DaVinci Resolve templates are perfect for adding stylized transitions, graphics, text effects, and much more without the hassle of learning how to create these elements from scratch. 

They are a huge timesaver, and with tens of thousands of both paid and free DaVinci Resolve templates currently available, chances are there’s one to fit almost any idea or project. 

Our top 10 favorite DaVinci Resolve templates

Most of the best templates for DaVinci Resolve are available through subscriptions to either Motion Array or Envato Elements. These subscription services allow unlimited downloads for one monthly or yearly fee. 

For Envato, membership is either $33 per month on a monthly plan or $198 per year for an annual plan (a 50% savings over month-to-month).

Motion Array has a free plan that allows you access to a limited library of free assets, but to get the most out of the marketplace, you can purchase a subscription for either $29.99 per month or $249.99 per year. 

With that in mind, here are some of our favorite templates for DaVinci Resolve:

#1: Colorful Titles

Price: Included in Envato membership

If you edit videos for YouTube or digital advertising, this pack of colorful title templates makes adding eye-catching titles a cinch. They’re the perfect intersection of minimalism and pop art, making them ideal for content you want to have a modern but fun edge. 

#2: Liquid Transition

Price: Included in Motion Array membership

Liquid transitions are a favorite of ours, and without a template, they can be a huge pain to achieve. Thankfully, with this transition preset, you can add the wavy, dynamic transition to any DaVinci Resolve project in just a few clicks. Perfect for travel, sports, and food content, this modern transition adds a little extra “oomph” to your edits. 

#3: Instagram Stories Pack

Price: Included in Envato membership

One of the biggest shake ups in the world of digital video editing has been the industry shift towards vertical video formats. This has been a considerable pain for many editors, as most presets are designed for traditional horizontal video formats. 

We love this template pack because it’s optimized for vertical video, making it perfect for editors who edit content for Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, etc. 

#4: Light Leaks

Price: Included in Motion Array membership

We’re suckers for a good light leak, and this template from Motion Array is full of the sharpest, sexiest light leaks that DaVinci Resolve can render. You can download over 20 different templates that are fully customizable and feature a “drag and drop” simplicity that makes adding effects a breeze.
