Big Idea

The argument in one line.

A repeatable three-part workflow — a single AI-generated hook line, on-location filming with minimal gear, and a template-driven DaVinci Resolve edit — is what turns a client shoot into a sellable, high-production reel.

Who This Is For

Read if. Skip if.

READ IF YOU ARE…

You're a freelance video editor or videographer who films and edits short-form reels for local business clients.
You already use DaVinci Resolve and want a concrete keyboard-shortcut and node-graph workflow to speed up client turnaround.
You're weighing whether a paid title/animation template pack (like MotionText Pro) is worth it versus building effects from scratch.

SKIP IF…

You edit exclusively in Premiere Pro or CapCut and have no interest in DaVinci Resolve's Fusion page.
You're looking for scripting or sales-call advice rather than the technical edit itself.

TL;DR

The full version, fast.

Ryan Herrick walks through his full client-reel pipeline: on location, he feeds a few business details into Poppy AI to generate one scripted hook line, films the rest improvised with a Sony ZV-E1 and DJI lavs, then edits in DaVinci Resolve using a repeatable template. The edit stacks a single LUT color grade, keyboard-shortcut cutting (slash to split, Shift+Backspace to ripple-delete), Magic Mask to isolate the subject so word-pop titles sit behind them, a hand-built zoom via an adjustment clip and eased transform keyframes, AI auto-reframe for b-roll, and DaVinci's built-in auto-captions. Every visual technique reuses assets from his own MotionText Pro template pack, which he plugs mid-edit. The result: a roughly 30-second vertical reel built to demonstrate a client's work and drive bookings.

Chapters

Where the time goes.

00:00 – 00:15

01 · Intro

Cold open on a balcony stating the video's three-part promise: how he shows up to a shoot, what he films, and how he edits it in DaVinci Resolve.

00:15 – 01:55

02 · How I Film the Client Reel

On location at a Volusia County mansion: Poppy AI generates the hook line from client details, then Ryan directs and films the client using a Sony ZV-E1 and DJI lav mics, improvising everything past the hook.

01:55 – 04:38

03 · DaVinci Setup, LUT Grade & Shortcut Cutting

Back at the office: sets the DaVinci project to vertical, applies a single pre-built LUT as the color grade, and starts cutting the raw footage using custom keyboard shortcuts (slash to split, Shift+Backspace to ripple-delete).

04:38 – 08:48

04 · Magic Mask + Word-Pop Hook Title

Uses Fusion's Magic Mask to isolate the client from the background, then builds the hook headline word-by-word with MotionText Pro templates so the text sits visually behind the subject, recoloring the location name for emphasis.

08:48 – 11:08

05 · Fusion Zoom-Out Animation

Builds a custom zoom-out animation from scratch on an adjustment clip: a Fusion transform node with two keyframes and an ease-in/out-cubic curve, refined into an s-curve after the first pass looks too aggressive.

11:08 – 12:44

06 · Emphasis Text Pass & Product Plug

Adds a second title pass emphasizing the client's service with a stop-motion text pop, reuses the up-slide animation for supporting lines, and drops an on-screen 'Get MotionText Pro Today' plug mid-edit.

12:44 – 14:00

07 · B-Roll via AI Smart Reframe

Cuts in b-roll of the client setting up gear and working, using DaVinci's AI auto-reframe to convert horizontal footage into a tracked vertical crop without manual keyframing.

14:00 – 16:37

08 · Auto Captions, Overlay & Arrow Polish

Adds a 'Build Trust' emphasis title, a pointing-arrow graphic, a hand-made overlay for texture, and generates auto-captions via DaVinci's built-in AI subtitle tool before the final polish pass.

16:37 – 17:26

09 · Results Playback & CTA

Plays the finished roughly 30-second vertical reel in full, then closes direct to camera with a booking-link CTA and a subscribe/like ask tied to a stretch-goal part two.

Atomic Insights

Lines worth screenshotting.

A single scripted hook line is enough — improvising everything after it keeps a client testimonial reel from sounding rehearsed.
DaVinci Resolve's Magic Mask can isolate a person from the background in a few clicks, letting text animate behind them instead of over them.
Custom keyboard shortcuts — slash to split, Shift+Backspace to ripple-delete — turn a repetitive edit into single keystrokes.
A hand-built zoom effect is just a Fusion transform node with two keyframes and an ease-in/out-cubic curve, no plugin required.
AI auto-reframe can convert horizontal b-roll into a tracked vertical crop automatically, replacing manual keyframing on every cutaway.
One pre-built LUT applied once at the top of the timeline can be the entire color grade for a reel.
B-roll showing a client's actual work process pre-sells trust: by the estimate call, the customer has already seen him work.
Recoloring a single word in a headline, like a location name, in yellow is enough contrast to draw the eye without changing the font.
DaVinci's built-in AI subtitle generator, with a minimum-characters setting, replaces a separate captioning app entirely.
A branded plug for a paid product lands better as an on-screen caption during the edit than as spoken narration alone.
The finished reel runs about 30 seconds and covers filming, working, and results in three beats — proof that client testimonial content doesn't need a long runtime.
Tying a stretch goal (a part-two video at 1,000 likes) to the closing ask converts passive viewers into an active vote.

Takeaway

A repeatable DaVinci Resolve workflow for client reels.

EDIT WORKFLOW

One scripted hook, minimal gear, and a template-driven DaVinci Resolve edit — Magic Mask, hand-built zoom keyframes, AI reframe, and auto-captions — turn a single client shoot into a sellable, high-production reel.

01Intro

A three-part promise stated in under 15 seconds — how I show up, what I film, how I edit — sets viewer expectations before any footage plays.
Framing the video as training for people trying to make this their full-time job filters for viewers who'll actually apply the workflow.

02How I Film the Client Reel

An AI hook-generation tool can turn a few business details into a location-specific opening line, leaving everything after the hook to be improvised on camera.
Scripting only the hook and improvising the rest keeps a client testimonial reel from sounding stiff or over-rehearsed.

03DaVinci Setup, LUT Grade & Shortcut Cutting

Switching a horizontal timeline to vertical takes one settings change before any editing starts, so format isn't a late decision.
A single pre-built LUT applied once at the top of the timeline is often the entire color grade — no per-clip correction needed.
Custom keyboard shortcuts for split and ripple-delete turn repetitive cutting into single keystrokes, which matters most on high-volume client work.

04Magic Mask + Word-Pop Hook Title

Isolating a subject with a masking tool lets text animate visually behind a person instead of just sitting over them.
Revealing a headline word-by-word, rather than all at once, gives an editor more control over pacing and where to place emphasis color.

05Fusion Zoom-Out Animation

A hand-built zoom is just a transform node with two keyframes and an eased curve — no third-party plugin required.
A first-pass animation curve that looks too aggressive or too flat is fixed with an s-curve blend, not a full restart.

06Emphasis Text Pass & Product Plug

Reusing one title template for a second line of copy keeps a reel's typography consistent without new design decisions.
A stop-motion-style text pop is reserved for the single word that needs emphasis, not applied to every line.
A branded plug for a paid product lands better as an on-screen caption mid-edit than as spoken narration alone.

07B-Roll via AI Smart Reframe

AI auto-reframe converts horizontal b-roll into a tracked vertical crop automatically, replacing manual keyframing on every cutaway.
B-roll of a client's actual work process pre-sells trust, so by the estimate call the customer has already seen the work firsthand.

08Auto Captions, Overlay & Arrow Polish

A built-in AI subtitle generator with a minimum-characters setting removes the need for a separate captioning app.

09Results Playback & CTA

Playing the finished reel in full right after the edit lets viewers judge the payoff against the process they just watched, and closing with a specific low-friction CTA beats a vague contact ask.

Glossary

Terms worth knowing.

Magic Mask: A DaVinci Resolve Fusion tool that automatically isolates and tracks a subject from its background across frames, without hand-drawn rotoscoping.
Ripple Delete: An edit command that removes a clip and automatically closes the resulting gap by shifting everything after it left, keeping the timeline continuous.
Adjustment Clip: An empty clip placed above a timeline that applies its effects, such as color or zoom, to every clip beneath it without altering the original footage.
Fusion page: DaVinci Resolve's node-based compositing workspace, used here for masking, keyframed animation, and character-level text styling beyond the standard edit page.
AI Reframe / Smart Reframe: An automated tool that tracks a subject in a horizontal clip and generates a vertically cropped version that follows them, without manual keyframing.
LUT (Look-Up Table): A preset file that remaps a video's colors to a specific look; applying one is a fast way to color-grade footage without manual adjustments.
Ease In/Out Cubic: An animation curve setting that starts and ends an effect, like a zoom, slowly and speeds up in the middle, producing smoother motion than a linear keyframe.

00:00I'm gonna break down exactly how I film and edit my client reels inside of DaVinci Resolve. From how I show up to the shoot, what I'm actually filming, and then how I edit it inside of DaVinci Resolve. This simple three step process I'm gonna teach you in today's video is perfect for people who are trying to make this their full time job.

00:13So let's jump straight in. Hi, guys. We're here with my client right here.

00:16We're actually filming at this mansion right here. So this guy is a videographer, high end videographer who does he shoots very high end properties like this for, uh, business owners and stuff like that. So we're using Poppy AI.

00:26I'm gonna pop up a screenshot right here of what I did. Basically, I'm using Poppy AI to generate me a hook for my client here. So what I'm doing is I just asked it to generate me a simple hook.

00:33I gave him details on their business on his business. And so we are in Volusia County right now. So we're gonna use the hook.

00:38This Volusia County mansion was embarrassing its owner until we showed up. So now we're gonna go film that. We're gonna I'm thinking thinking, like, right here.

00:45Okay? You do have him mic'd up with the DJI mics, and then we're using the Sony z v e one. And so I'm just gonna kinda focus on him and make sure my lighting is good.

00:53I'm gonna be at F F 20. I'm gonna come all the way up here. So we're gonna go up here.

00:57Let's go. So this Volusia County this Volusia County mansion was embarrassing its owner until we showed up. So I'm shooting vertically right here if you could check this out right there.

01:05You may not be able to see it, but you guys are gonna see it when we edit this. This is county mansion. Yep.

01:09Just like that. So let me get the writing lighting right. 321.

01:12And then just stay there. I'm gonna do, like, a pan up motion. So I'm gonna be like this.

01:15We're just gonna go like that, and then he's gonna spitball it from the rest. We're gonna do the hook first, and I don't like scripting the rest because it's too scripted and it doesn't come off natural. So all we need to script is just the hook.

01:23So I'm gonna do this shot. Alright. Ready?

01:25Three two one. This Volusia County manhunt was embarrassing its owners until we showed up. Is he in the shot?

01:32Yeah. You're good, though. I mean, you're in the shot, but it's it's not the biggest deal.

01:35I want you to say what you're doing. Give you the intel. Alright.

01:37Ready? Let's go. So I'm with my client, and he power walks the house just like this.

01:41Alright. That's it. Now I'm gonna see you guys in the editing software.

01:43Alright. Now we're back at the office, and I'm gonna show you guys exactly how I edit inside of DaVinci Result. I'm gonna be using a really simple editing process, but for the most part, it's gonna be pretty raw.

01:52That way you guys get to see how I edit in real time. So let's hop straight in. So we're here in DaVinci Resolve.

01:56The first thing I'm gonna do is drag down, um, the project, and then it's gonna ask me to change the frame rate. So I'm gonna go ahead and change it. And then I like to just come here and either hit shift nine and then just hit this use vertical resolution and then hit save.

02:07But there's also another way you can do it. Coming right here and then just going to portrait. There you go.

02:11Now we're in short form content style. Now I'm gonna hit this button so I can see my screen full screen, and then I'm just gonna add a quick really quick color grade. So I have this power grade that I have right here, and then I have my LUTs, which you guys can find down below.

02:23I'll show you guys exactly what they look like. You just gotta find the right one that fits your footage. I think this one looks really good.

02:28It brings out the colors, and it doesn't make the house look too saturated. It actually looked perfect in my opinion. That's why I call it my LUT because, uh, it's just perfect for me.

02:37So I'm gonna keep this LUT. That's literally all I'm gonna do to the footage. And then now we just have to do a simple cut up.

02:43So you guys were watching me direct the video. So, basically, since I already have directed the video, I pretty much know exactly what it's gonna be like. So so he's gonna start right here.

02:56So I'm gonna hit shift, and then I'm gonna hit so I'm gonna hit slash and then shift delete. And if you guys are wondering how I get my keyboard customizations, we're gonna come up to DaVinci Resolve, and we're gonna go up to keyboard customization. So, basically, these are shortcuts, and shortcuts are really valuable for if you're editing client reels just like this.

03:12So slash is gonna be my split clip, and then shift plus delete or backspace, shift plus backspace will be my ripple delete, which everyone has that. So This Volusia County mansion was embarrassing its owners until we showed up. So boom.

03:26Then we're gonna hit slash again, then we're gonna add the second line. So cut that there.

03:34Just like this. And so what we do is we film him in the process, getting him getting up getting him getting his equipment out.

03:50The process of his work, so it's cut him getting his equipment out. So this is around a thirty second reel. Typically,

03:56they're a little shorter, but this is gonna be perfectly fine. So, usually, I would add a zoom out animation. I might go ahead and add a zoom out animation.

04:03I don't know yet. But since I already do this little thing right here, I think it looks really good already. And so in today's video, I'm gonna be using MotionText Pro two and MotionText Pro v one, which you guys can find in the first link down the description below.

04:15This is going to streamline your workflow, so that way you don't have to waste time editing your client reels. This is the secret to landing high paying clients and doing this as a full time job because it's simply just doing the work for you. You just have to drag and drop it.

04:27So I'm gonna show you guys how it works. So the first thing I'm gonna do since it's kind of like a real estate type of video is I'm gonna unlink this, and I'm going to hold option, scroll up, and then I'm going to go into the fusion page with this second clip selected. And then on this media one out, we're gonna hit shift space for magic mask.

04:43We're then going to go hit better, and then we are going to go to the beginning of the frame and just make sure that our subject, aka my client, is going to be masked out just like so. And then we're just gonna mask him out just like this. Just draw a line over him.

04:56Everything you want him. Everything you want to basically be masked out is what you're gonna do, and then just give it some time. So it did a really bad job, so I'm just gonna do a quick mask out.

05:07And then just like that, just kinda get all this stuff out. And sometimes even faster is gonna be a better mask just because it's not perfect since he's super far away.

05:18This looks really bad. Um, but, basically, just getting nitty gritty. So come in here, take off these white spaces.

05:25Right? Um, just get in there, do yours your fitting, and then just go ahead and hit track back and forth. So now that it's done, we have full control to put text effects underneath my client.

05:35So this one right here, now it's behind him, and it looks really good. So we're gonna do this, and then this is gonna be put up, like, here.

05:47So it's gonna look like this. So now we're just using the partial blur zoom up animation on my editing pack, and we already have this.

05:55So this, and then we're going to do then we're gonna come to MotionText Pro v two, and then we're gonna grab the eroding grow effect.

06:04Okay? So I really like this effect because it is really cool looking. So now we just have to wait for it to come in.

06:13So I'm gonna probably cut it, like, right here because it takes a little too long to come in. And then I'm just gonna size this sucker up. And then what font I'm using, if you guys are curious, I'm using Helvetica noon bold.

06:23So I'm just gonna use the same exact font. We're gonna use Helvetica noon, and we're gonna use bold, and then we're gonna size up just like so, and then we're going to put this behind my client just like this.

06:39This foolish account And, honestly, I'm not really liking this erode, so this is just how it goes. So then we're just gonna come here and do another one. So we're gonna just do the same text effect, I think.

06:50I think the same text effect looks really good. I just think that we have to place it in a better manner than what I was thinking. So maybe we come here and cut this down like this and then do line spacing, bring it closer together, and then bring this sucker down just like this.

07:07I'm not liking that. So we have something like this already, this Volusia County. Now we just have to do mansion.

07:13What I went ahead and did was I put this below the Volusia County and then the mansion below the Volusia County as well, and it looks something like this on the timeline. The reason I went ahead and did that was because it just wasn't making it pop. And so what I wanna do now is I wanna make it pop even more.

07:29So I think what I'm gonna do is I'm going to go ahead into the fusion page with the Volusia County. I'm gonna hit this little fusion button. I'm gonna come to the template.

07:38I'm gonna right click in the box and hit character level stylings and go to modifiers. Then under Volusia, I'm gonna come to the color, highlight it, and just change the color to a simple, uh, yellow color. And so now when we play it, then we're gonna cut it all as a whole, and then I'm gonna go to MotionText Pro v one, come to text animation, and then I'm going to grab the delay up slide.

07:58So what I have here, basically so we have this animation. This Volusia County mansion was embarrassing its owners until we showed up.

08:06Just like that. So I'm gonna make this a little smaller, make this come in a little faster just like so, just like that until we showed up.

08:13Now we're gonna add I'm just gonna add a riser. I think this this this riser is gonna sound really good.

08:20So so if we play this through, I think it does need a zoom out animation just to really bring the effect together.

08:31So I'm actually gonna make a zoom out animation myself by coming up to the adjustment clip, grabbing an adjustment clip, and placing it above the text effects just like so. Then I'm gonna head to the fusion page with this adjustment clip and hit shift space for a transform node. I know I really just teach this in, like, every single one of my videos.

08:48If you're new here, then this is not something I new normally if you don't know, is not something I normally teach. This is something I teach in about every single video.

08:56But this is a simple animation, so I'm gonna go back to one. I'm sizing it in at frame zero, and I'm sizing it out at frame 60. Now I'm gonna hit zoom to fit, and we're gonna hit command a, and then we're gonna use the easing and out cubic method by bringing this down, bringing this down a little bit, and then bringing this white one down just like so to meet it where it's at.

09:14So now But that doesn't that doesn't really look good. That's why I was afraid of kind of having this.

09:22That's why I was afraid of doing that because maybe maybe what we're gonna do, let's go ahead and highlight all of these and then straighten it back out and then hit s, then come like this and do something like that maybe.

09:38This Falls Church County Management was embarrassing itself. Yeah. That looks a lot better, but on frame zero, we can't have it zoomed in so much because it does not look good.

09:49So maybe, like, something like this would look really good. County man county manger?

09:55Mm-mm.

09:56It's gotta come in sooner.

09:59Like this, maybe. County manger. This Folusha County manger.

10:02Maybe like

10:03this. This Volusia County mansion was embarrassing. It was embarrassing.

10:07That looks good. So this Volusia County mansion was embarrassing its owner, but we showed up. That looks really good.

10:13Okay. Perfect. So we basically did, like, a little s curve.

10:15And then I'm going to add a overlay. Now I have went ahead and made this overlay, so you guys don't have access to this overlay, but you can literally just use any overlay you want.

10:31So, yes, I did hand make this this overlay, which is super lit, but you guys don't have access to this.

10:38You guys can use any other overlay that you want. But I think what we could do here now is, like, right when it restarts, we could then add another zoom out animation.

10:48So what we could do here is come back here and do what we were originally gonna do. So come to the first frame and zoom in more.

10:56Come here. Go ahead and right click. Go to ease and go to Alcubic.

11:00And so, guys, let me just clarify something. This is more of, like, a watch me tutorial. So if you guys are a little confused and you're new here, this is a more, like, of a watch me style.

11:09So if you guys wanna see more, like, teaching styled stuff, you guys can check out my YouTube page. But with my client and someone I think this I think that looks I think that looks good.

11:19So I'm gonna do some text animations right here. So with and then I'm going to do client.

11:27And then for power washes, we wanna emphasize that. Right? So we want to go ahead and grab a stop motion text effect just like this.

11:35So power washes, and then we're just gonna bring in the down one as well.

11:40Bring this one down just like right here. Power

11:44washes houses like this. Washes houses just like this.

11:47Just like that. I think it looks really clean. Go ahead and cut that.

11:49And this is just a combination of MotionText Pro v one and v two. And then we're gonna reuse the same text animation.

11:55So we're gonna say and so delete that and then drag down the up animation.

12:05What we do

12:07And so what we do with

12:12the process, just like so, super simple. Sometimes this stuff can get a little boring and repetitive. So just like that.

12:19Boom. Then we're gonna use auto captions for this little section right here. I just wanted to use the text animation.

12:23So so I'm gonna go ahead and use b roll in this video because we did go ahead and get a lot of b roll, and I think that it's very crucial for reels just like this. So I'm gonna highlight these, link them, and then unlink them so that way I can go ahead and delete these audios in a bulk. And then I really like the color grade that I already applied, so I'm just gonna come here and just command c these.

12:41And then as you can see, they already look really good. So we're gonna come here, and we're going to zoom in on this. And I'm going to actually, I have a better spot in the video that I like of him filming.

12:54So I really like this spot right here, and we're gonna cut that as he speaks. So then we're gonna come to AI reframe and then hit reframe on the auto, and then it is going to reframe my client and put him in the center. It's gonna be really cool.

13:06I really love the auto reframe feature. As you can see, it's just gonna now follow him, and you see up here the position is gonna automatically go. And then we're gonna put play this forward, And we're gonna put in another clip of him working.

13:18We're gonna do the same thing here.

13:22I really like this clip because it kinda matches. This is a good clip of him, you know, kinda doing his thing. So I'm just gonna come to the end of the clip, and then I'm gonna do the same thing.

13:32I'm gonna do AI smart reframe. The reason I'm doing the smart reframe is it just saves my life. So a really good clip.

13:38It shows them having fun, like, a lot of fun. Okay?

13:41Then we're gonna come here. We're gonna add the same zoom out animation. I'm gonna hold option.

13:46So when he comes up for an estimate, they've already Just like that. Okay. Perfect.

13:49So now we have this animation just like this. Cool. It's looking really good so far.

13:53And then we'll do auto captions right here. I'll show you guys in a bit. So for build trust, we really wanna emphasize this.

13:58So I wanna use the blur, the partial blur, because I really like this one.

14:03So build trust. Build trust.

14:08Just like that, and it looks really clean. Then there's this little fusion button right here. We're gonna do the same thing by coming to the template, going to character level styling, and then we're just gonna highlight the trust and change it to a nice yellow color.

14:21So that way it looks like this. Then we're gonna grab this text animation before they call. We would we just wanna keep it short and simple.

14:28Right? Because we just need to get the basics out. And then I'm gonna come back to the Fusion page.

14:33You guys don't have to mess with any of the Fusion page things inside of my pack because it has it all there for you. So I would highly recommend getting the editing pack. So that looks really clean.

14:42I really am liking this, to be honest. So we're gonna do auto tracking or auto captions. Already seen his work.

14:49I really am liking this. So it already seen his work. Come in here.

14:57Redo duplicate the already. Then we're gonna zoom in on him this time and punch in. Then I have these took templates.

15:04And, also, I didn't even jump into these, which is kinda crazy. But I'm gonna copy this one, come to timeline, and then just copy it, and then it's already done. So we're just going to now hit click the link.

15:23Then I have also this this comment text one. It's really cool. This then click the link below.

15:29Really cool. Really, really, really, really, really, really, really cool. So if we go ahead play this through, it's looking really good, to be honest.

15:34I'm not even gonna lie. So one more thing I'm gonna add other than auto captions is I want to go ahead and add an arrow.

15:43So in my MotionText Pro v two, we have these arrows right here, if you can see. This comes with the editing pack, by the way.

15:51So accounting management was embarrassed. So, literally, all we're gonna do is just, um, come up like this. Boom.

15:59Bring this up a little bit. Just move this around. Now the only other thing I really have a complaint about is I think this needs to be below all the text effects.

16:09So we're gonna bring this up one and then bring the arrow below all the text effects just like that. So This Volusia County mansion was embarrassing its owners until we showed up.

16:18Just like that. Guys, you can get all of this with MotionText Pro. Like, I'm not saying you guys have to get it, but this is just my workflow and how I work.

16:25So now we're gonna come to timeline, go to AI tools, create subtitles,

16:28leave the minimum characters at 10, and hit create. Delete it where you have your captions, and open it up where you have the open space. And that's exactly how I film and edit my client reels.

16:39Guys, this was a banger video. I'm gonna play the results right now. This Fallujah County mansion was embarrassing its owners until we showed up.

16:45So I'm with my client, and he power washes houses just like this. And so what we do is we film him in the process, getting him getting his equipment out, the process of his work so his customers can build trust before they even call him. So when he comes out for an estimate, they've already seen his work, they've already seen his process and they know he's trustworthy.

17:01So he doesn't have to sell on the estimate. He can just give them a quote and they're okay paying because they've seen him work already. So this is why you hire me.

The Hook

The bait, then the rug-pull.

Ryan Herrick opens by stating the whole video's shape in one breath: how he shows up to a shoot, what he actually films, and how he edits it — a three-part promise he then delivers on, beat by beat, using one real client shoot as the case study.
