How to Add a Golf Scorecard Overlay in DaVinci Resolve

Guide · Creator Kit Golf

A Creator Kit Golf export is just a plain transparent PNG, so bringing it into your edit takes the same handful of steps every time: import it, stack it above your footage, resize it, and export. Here's exactly how to do that.

  1. Import your exported PNG. In the Media Pool, right-click and choose Import Media (or drag and drop) to bring in the scorecard PNG you exported from Creator Kit Golf.
  2. Add a video track above your footage. On the Edit page timeline, right-click the track header area and choose Add Track → Video, so you have an empty track sitting above the track your golf footage is on.
  3. Drag the overlay onto the new track. Drag the PNG from the Media Pool onto the new track, lined up above the section of footage you want it to appear over, then trim it to the length you want.
  4. Resize and position it. Select the clip and open the Inspector panel. Under the Transform section, adjust Zoom and Position. The PNG's background is fully transparent, so only the scorecard graphic itself shows — nothing to key out.
  5. Preview and adjust. Play through the section to check placement and readability. Cropped HUD exports are sized for a corner placement; Full Frame exports fill the whole frame, which works well for a full-screen reveal moment.
  6. Render as normal. Head to the Deliver page and render your timeline as usual — the overlay is composited into the output automatically, the same as any other layered clip.

No green screen or chroma key needed. Every Creator Kit Golf export is already a transparent PNG, so it drops straight onto a track above your footage and only the scorecard itself is visible — no keying, no plugin, no extra render step.
