Macros + Images in Fusion ← DaVinci Resolve ← Socratica
Creating Macros in Fusion with bundled images and thumbnails are a great way to take your production toolkit to the next level. In this lesson, we'll create a simple macro and focus on how to modify the Setting file so that the bundle image will appear, and create a thumbnail so that the title will be nice and snazzy in the Effects menu of the Edit & Cut pages.

MaterialX is an open standard for defining materials for 3D graphics. It was created by Industrial Light and Magic (ILM) in 2012, and open sourced in 2017. When SideFX added Solaris to Houdini, they also included support for MaterialX. If you want to use the Karma XPU renderer in Houdini, you will definitely need to learn how to use MaterialX. #Houdini #MaterialX #Socratica

CHOPs, A Comprehensive Introduction ← Houdini
Переглядів 6 тис.Рік тому
In Houdini, CHOPs - or "Channel Operators" - are a way to generate sequences of numbers and vectors independently of geometry. They are an old and mysterious part of Houdini which have an unfair reputation for being difficult. In this video, we'll give you a solid introduction to CHOPs, and show you how to create channels of data using Python, VEX, or CHOPs. #houdini #chops #vfx #socratica

Generators & Node Groups in Davinci Resolve
Переглядів 2,9 тис.Рік тому
One way to create a custom template in Davinci Resolve is by creating a group of nodes in Fusion, exporting this as a setting file, and then putting a copy of this file in the right folder. In this lesson we'll show you how to do this, but we'll also talk about ways that do NOT work. This will help clarify the need for creating a group instead of exporting a single node or collection of nodes i...

    I do a lot of greenscreen and don’t always shoot it. Sometimes footage arrives and I haven’t got a clean plate AND often the camera op will change lighting or exposure to get a “better” clean plate. At those times I find it useful to use the Ultra Keyes and adjust the threshold. Clean plates are troublesome in long form shows with different setups. I’ve had camera ops just shoot one (“here’s a shot of my screen”) as if we just wanted a sample. If you’re shooting just the one shot then, sure, the clean plate is easy.

    It's possible to expand a macro already made in a fusion composition? I downloaded some title templates for davinci but I would love to edit deeply the title to insert for instance the company logo on the fusion animation. But I can notice in the fusion tab just the marco, so I can't change nothing than the parameters allowed from the macro creator. How can I do? How can I expand a macro on the original nodes of fusion? Thank you, very good explaination on your video!

    @PeterC3400 2 місяці тому

    Is there a way to make a script to automate taking a slice from a clip, turning it into a freeze frame, moving it up one layer and changing duration to one second? I don't see the methods I'd need. I see one for changing the clip color, which I'll need, but not much else to manipulate a clip. Am I missing an amazing 'DoItAll' command somewhere? Nothing I found in a Google search or in the script manual seems to allow for it. In fact, it seems that scripting doesn't do much I'd consider 'fun' and helpful for basic video editing. So far, it seems that learning AutoHotKey to string together a sequence of keystrokes into a macro is about the best that Resolve can support. Hoping I'm wrong... 🫤

    Thanks for the video. Speaking of terrible documentation. To this day I can't figure out how to actually add expressions to an input of a tool. There is no AddExpression or so on the objects themselves. I am using the console tool with it's inbuild Help() function to see what methods are attached to the classes. For an EllipseMask for example I only found AddModifier though. Ok I can add it. But how do I access it after? How do the ids look like for modifiers that I can use? No beep. They really don't want to give us too much power

    Good video. I am familiar with the Delta Keyer and was curious about the Ultra Keyer. I will stay with the Delta Keyer. One thing I do when I get to the threshold stage of my key is to slide the monitor gamma controls to make my viewer display quite a severe image of the background or foreground so I only use just enough threshold and don’t start losing detail like fine hair or transparency. I often put a noise reduction node before the Keyer and refrain at the end, if necessary.

    I found this video very useful and solved many of my problems, great! However, there are some other problems I still cannot figure out. If I directly group the nodes with Ctrl+G, I cannot specify parameters for the group. If I make them a macro, as this video shows, I can specify parameters, however after importing the macro in the Fusion, they are displayed as one node, which cannot be expanded to edit. However, sample templates that Davinci Resolve itself provides, when imported, they are represented as a group, which has both parameters and also can be expanded. How can I achieve that? (Actually I just want to make a group show some parameters to control its inner nodes. But I cannot achieve that.)

  • @JoelPurnell
    @JoelPurnell 3 місяці тому

    Your channel has been so helpful, thank you! I have an issue with my macros and can’t figure out how to fix it. Let’s say I have a rectangle that starts at zoom size 0.25 and then grows to 0.5 over 10 frames using a key frame in a transform node. When I export the macro I may want to give the user control of the final zoom size at the 10 second key frame point, but I don’t want them to have control of the 0.25 starting zoom size. Currently when I export a macro with this zoom control available, any changes made in the inspector will instead Zoom the start point and then return to the 0.5 zoom key frame point, 10 frames into the effect. How can I do this please? Any advice would be very much appreciated. Best wishes. Joel.

I truly wish you would continue teaching all things Houdini, because without the founadtions like these you provide, learning Houdini often feels like jumping out of a plane with half a parachute. I never feel like that in your videos. THANK YOU :)
