Motion Design & Lower Thirds

Simple motion graphics and lower thirds animated in DaVinci Resolve Fusion, kept inside the editing and grading workflow, alpha-ready in 9:16, 1:1 and 16:9 at 1080p or 4K.

Simple motion graphics and clean video branding that elevate edits

Light motion design and video branding in DaVinci Resolve Fusion

Light motion design adds energy without derailing production schedules, so each animation is scoped to fit the cut it serves.

I collaborate with editors and art directors to extend existing visuals, respecting palettes, grain, and pacing.

Deliverables arrive as flattened video exports (the universal deliverable), with editable DaVinci Resolve / Fusion project files on request for teams that run Resolve and want to iterate or localize.

These assets fit a range of use cases, framed generically: branded content and explainers, music promos, and social-first cuts shaped per platform, from vertical 9:16 for TikTok and Instagram to 16:9 and 1:1 for LinkedIn. The motion follows your brand charter and existing templates so each title, lower third or loop reads as an extension of your identity rather than a generic preset.

Light motion sits at a precise point in post-production. The edit is locked first, the grade is shaped in DaVinci Resolve, then opening titles, lower thirds, bumpers and transitions are animated on the Fusion page, and the result is encoded and delivered in the formats you need. Because everything lives in one Resolve project, the animation respects the same colour and rhythm as the cut, with no export-and-reimport between separate apps.

Project highlights

  • Opening and closing titles, lower thirds and animated name straps
  • Logo stings, bumpers and clean transitions
  • Burned-in subtitles and kinetic typography
  • Loopable social assets per platform in 9:16, 1:1 and 16:9 at 1080p or 4K
  • Burned-in subtitles, kinetic typography and clean transitions
  • Per-platform social loops in 9:16, 1:1 and 16:9 at 1080p or 4K

What You Receive

  • Rendered animations in required codecs
  • Style notes for future iterations
  • Opening and closing titles, lower thirds and animated name straps
  • Logo stings, bumpers, clean transitions and kinetic typography
  • Burned-in subtitles and loopable social assets in 9:16, 1:1 and 16:9
  • Alpha-ready exports at 1080p or 4K; editable DaVinci Resolve / Fusion project files on request (you need Resolve to open them)

Light motion design is animation built to lift a video cut: opening and closing titles, lower thirds, logo stings, bumpers, kinetic typography, clean transitions and loopable social assets. It is built as light 2D motion in DaVinci Resolve and its Fusion page, inside the same project as the edit, grade and delivery, so it is not a full 3D motion studio. Delivered remotely worldwide or on-site in Paris, as alpha-ready renders in your required codecs at 1080p or 4K, in 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9, or embedded straight into the sequence.

Design Flow

From concept beats to rendered animations

01

Storyboard

Rough out beats with still frames or animatics, working from your brand charter, palette, type and any existing templates so the motion extends what you already have.

02

Animate

Bring elements to life as light 2D motion on the Fusion page in DaVinci Resolve, in the same project as the edit and grade so there is no round-trip between apps.

03

Deliver

Encode and deliver alpha-ready renders in your required codecs at 1080p or 4K, in 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9, or embedded into the sequence, with editable Resolve / Fusion project files on request.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of motion design do you do?

Light, edit-friendly motion: animated titles and lower thirds, logo stings, clean transitions and loopable social assets, designed to lift a cut, not replace a full motion studio.

Which tool do you animate in?

DaVinci Resolve's Fusion, so motion stays inside the editing workflow, no round-tripping, and faster turnaround for editors.

What do you deliver?

Rendered animations in the codecs you need, or integrated straight into the sequence, with style notes for future versions.

Do you work in After Effects?

I animate in Fusion (DaVinci Resolve), a lightweight alternative to After Effects built right into the edit, ideal for video branding, lower thirds, intros/outros and social loops in 9:16, 1:1 and 16:9, with no round-tripping between apps.

Do you work from my brand charter and templates?

Yes. I work from your brand charter, palette, type and rhythm, and reuse any existing templates so titles, lower thirds and loops extend your identity instead of competing with it. If you have no templates yet, I build the look from your charter and leave style notes for future versions.

Where does light motion sit in your post-production workflow?

After the edit is locked and graded in DaVinci Resolve, the light 2D motion is animated on the Fusion page in the same project, then encoded and delivered. Keeping it in one Resolve project means the motion matches the colour and pacing of the cut, with no round-trip between separate apps. This is light, edit-friendly motion, not a full 3D motion studio.
