Why Choose Photo Sideshow for DaVinci Resolve?

Each preset features different camera angles and animation direction. Some photos slide in from the sides, others rotate into view, and some gently tilt into frame with 3D depth.

  • Classic Vintage Aesthetic: Not every slideshow needs to be hypermodern. This template embraces nostalgic, scrapbook-style animations that feel warm and timeless—perfect for family content and sentimental projects.
  • Drag, Drop, Render: Drag the generator to your timeline, swap in your photos, pick a background, adjust the border color, and hit render. No nested compositions, no confusing node trees, no manual animation.
  • 40 Vintage Backgrounds Included: We’re the only DaVinci Resolve photo slideshow template that includes a library of curated backgrounds. Just browse, pick, done.
  • Choose Your Photo Count: Unlike one-size-fits-all templates, you get 10 different presets ranging from 3 to 10 photos. Got 4 great shots from your weekend trip? Documenting an entire wedding day? This pack includes templates for those occasions.
  • 3D Scene Animation (Without the Complexity): All generators use 3D camera movements and depth to make flat photos feel dimensional. Photos glide, rotate, and layer naturally. You never have to touch Fusion or manually keyframe anything.

Customizations Options

This template gives you full creative control without requiring any Fusion knowledge. Everything’s adjustable right from the Inspector panel:

  • Background Selection: Choose from 40 included vintage backgrounds—wood textures, aged paper, fabric patterns, and tablecloths. Each background has its own character, from rustic barn wood to elegant linen. Swap backgrounds instantly to match the mood of your project (or your grandmother’s actual dining room table).
  • Photo Placement (X/Y Position): Adjust the center point of each photo on the canvas. Fine-tune spacing to create balanced compositions or intentionally offset photos for a casual, scattered look.
  • Photo Size: Choose the size of each photo that best fits your video theme.
  • Inner Photo Angle: Rotate each photo within its frame to create dynamic, magazine-layout compositions. Tilt wedding portraits at slight angles for that classic album aesthetic.
  • Photo Flip & Mirror: Flip photos horizontally or vertically to control visual flow. Useful when you want subjects facing toward the center of the frame rather than looking off-screen.
  • Edge Style: Choose how photos should look when there is not enough photo content to fit the frame. Choose from Canvas, Wrap, Mirror, and Duplicate.
