Just wanted to say that you're the only Davinci How-to UA-camr that actually got it right as far as exporting the work and being able to bring it back in and have it work without an error. I tried everybody else's way and not one worked until I watched this. Thank you.
I was looking for a method to reuse the fusion comp in other projects. I am so happy to find your video. Instead of one method, you gave multiple ways of doing it. You are so comprehensive and I am learning a lot from you. Continue with your great work.
19:43 - Thanks a plenty! It took forever to find out why my fusion composition was displaying "media offline" when I used it as a macro in other projects. The official training docs didn't help and never mentioned the loader node. But after swapping the mediaIn node of my image for the loader node, it works perfectly! Your explanation of what was happening explains what Resolve was only hinting in the ui. Cheers!
what if you have many save nodes and you want to render just one. how do you do this? so every time you change something in the nodes section and press the "Render all Savers", it will again and again render the same things which makes it no difference to the usual render. how to make sure you render just a single saver node?
This past weekend I sat down and did the work and created my first ever Fusion project. I was super proud of myself, and pleased with my project untli I put it into the video I had waiting for it. In the video it was semi-transparent. I was mystified, since I knew I had followed tutorials correctly. Later that evening I opened my UA-cam and found this video waiting on my subscriptions page. While watching I was sure that the section on the codec that allows for transparency was the key to my problem. How did you know to post this video that day? Five mintes following this tutorial and my problem is fixed. Woot. Thanks Jay. Keep up the good work.
When I was starting out I used several of your videos as examples for how to include social media overlays but since my editing PC is very under powered I found that using Fusion each time made overall editing longer and slower. I can't remember where I first came across the saver node but I have switched to using it to create my overlays. This has been a huge time saver for me. I have found this to be a good technique in my circumstances. Thanks for sharing.
Very nice video. Question. If you have RAW footage, what would be the workflow in working in a 1080 timeline, but you want the fusion delta key to be drawn from the original 6K footage? But you want to do some color correction in order to get rid of the raw look.
Love the longer format videos and the greater depth you show for this wonderful program. Would love to know more about MULTIPLE masks used simultaneously. For example, a still image with perhaps six different areas or masks that need adjustment, and then send them all to the color page for more work. Say, an image of a room with a window that needs to be masked and adjusted for brightness, a table lamp that needs masking and color temp adjustment, some background shadows that need lifting, etc. So ... How to use Fusion's strength in masks and then send those to the Resolve color page for individual mask color refinement and control??? Thanks again, JR. Mike
Changing off of Imovie and will make my first Davinci Video this coming week THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for all these tutorials they are a huge help
Could anyone suggest why my clip always ends up being 5 sec long when using DNxHR? My fusion clip is 20 seconds long (600 frames and timeline is set for 30 fps) and the result file has 5 seconds. It acually really is only first quarter of my animation.
Thanks for the multiple options presented! When I save my macros on Windows they aren't found in DaVinci Resolve afterwords, even though there's a file saved. Would never have thought to save with a different codex. Good stuff!
This video starts simple and gets "richer" with each workflow option. My jaw dropped when fast project switching was mentioned. It seems that every time I learn something new about Resolve, I say "I'm not going back" to Premiere Pro. Hahaha, and I left Final Cut for Premiere (mainly because of network drive support and backwards compatibility after app updates).
how would i save a fusion composition or import a separate project that only has fusion comps into a new project if I need to alter certain aspects of it? For instance, I have a series of icons (image) and text that is all animated. The text will change from video to video, but I want to be able to use the icon + text that is animated. I guess I could just change the text within that project and then render/animate it all out then import the video file to the new project and cut as needed.
Hi First of all thanks for all the knowledge. Have bought some of your titles and they are great. Question: If i wanted to use two styles of font display, maybe colour, or size, etc, on the same Fusion Comp in DR16, how would i go about it. I've tried several ways but don't seem to be having any luck. Although, to be honest, i'm still having a bit of a Fusion Node crisis and still trying to get my head around some of the ideas. Would really be grateful for some insight on this issue. Thanks again JayAre. Kind Regards Longdancer
So hoping you can help. I have a fusion animation I had done and have another video with it in the timeline. So it is about 10 second title animation, with sound and B roll video. How the heck can I save that and be able to reuse it at the beginning of any of my new videos? Thank you in advance.
Great work! How would you go with large fusion composites? Like say background removal and animated background for a video about 20 minutes? Can you prerender in fusion to play back in the edit page too?
I tried this using the free version of Davinci Resolve 15 and do not see any options for exporting with the Alpha Channel. Are these options limited to just the studio version or am I missing something.?
@@JayAreTV You were right. I missed the step where you selected "Individual Clips". I assumed that selecting the clip for rendering would do that automatically. Anyway, thanks again and keep up the amazing work. It is much appreciated.
JR: Resolve uses the GPU for many functions and OFX. But Fusion does not seem to use the GPU at all for rendering. Correct??? Workarounds??? Third party render engines??? Thanks for a great channel, JR.
That was great, it took me a while to get my head round it, my imported .comp was working in fusion but not on the edit page, then I realised I had to convert the clip to a fusion clip. Is there anyway a fusion composition can be saved as a Template along with relative path images so that a lower thirds for example can include a logo without having to put it into the media pool every time? I can't get it to work using the Path settings in Fusion?
I tried to use the Saver option for a 3D map with rotation but some of the png files rendered as a flat image. So when I try and place the folder into a project and play it goes from a 3D image to flat and back many times. Anyway I can fix the rendering?
I tried the saver option with no luck, file explorers opening page shows the file i just created but when i try to access it it's non existent. It is not in the folder it had it saved to. i tried both .png and the standard .exr, each time no file is accessible or even visible in the folder where i saved it. Failing that I moved on to deliver. Everything work fine except my 10 second clip was only 5 seconds when rendered. I don't know what to do to resolve this issue.
I love your tutorials. My main problem is I can’t really build any of the animations in fusion due to my 2gb VRAM. But fixing that soon! Thanks for the teaching!
Hi JayAre! Awesome video just what I needed! I ran into an issue exporting and importing fusion comp. Trying to apply it to the UA-cam subscribe tutorial you've made. However, whenever I import to another project only thing that pops out from the .comp file is media in and out, but none of the other nodes that were used. Any ideas what could be going wrong during the export?
Great video. I'm always happy when a new tutorial for Fusion inside Resolve comes out. And you do a great job at pacing your videos well and making your techniques clear and concise.
Great video Jay, thanks a lot! I'm a bit late to this, just catching up now. So my question is this, what else can we consolidate between projects? This is a workflow question as much as a technical question. I come from a music background and I was always reminding myself to save templates above all but also channel settings, effects settings, midi patterns, wavs as samples, plug in settings and beats as wavs or midi patterns to use between projects, as well as key commands. We all get into bad habits and forget to do this as much as we should if we were 100% organised. I am really interested how you approach the whole idea of not doubling on work between projects. I am sure you have lots of ideas for future videos, I for one would greatly appreciate you considering adding it to your list. All the very best to you!
So i save a fusion file as macro and the fusion file i created was a social media lower third(Instagram). In the animation, ig logo pops out and user name comes out to the right. So i saved it as macro, but when i tried to use it on my new project, the logo was not visible. Only the username popped out, no ig logo. I tried adding the png file(ig logo i used) to the media pool but still the same
my fusion animations NEVER transfer to other PC's ... i have two work stations, home and work and i'm able to transfer projects from one PC to the other with premiere pro and after effects... but DR is giving me a hard time... i can transfer the project file over.. and even though i have the same fusion templates (saved as .setting), they are always broken... idk what to do besides just remake the animations on BOTH PC's
Great Tut!!! I don't like much fusion stuff in my actual project due to my computer is kinda old. But rendering it out via dynamic project features is great. It is flexible but I don't need to deal with 1000000 fusion nodes in my main project xD - Thank you very much! (I love DaVinci Resolve 16.2)
Hi there! Thanks a lot for yet another gem! I feel you skipped a very important aspect of this topic tough. Saving Macros in the template folder to use them from the edit page. Personally this is how I reuse my fusion stuff. Would only be a very small addition to this excellent and incredibly informative video!
You skipped the most important step about making macros imo, the saving. I saved it somewhere on my computer where I keep my workspace related stuff and it does not show up in my macros.
I really don't like why there are some many steps to just reuse a fusion comp from one project to the next you would think copying or dragging would be all you need to do.
okay, this is pissing me off, i'm rendering it out with the alpha, but it's only doing 5 seconds out of the 10 seconds.... what the fuck is going on here?
This is the fifth video I've watched to save a fusion animation as a video and the only one that has worked!! Thank you!
Bro, thanks to you I´ve felt in love with Resolve. No more bugs, no more blue screen of death from premiere. Thanks a lot!
Just wanted to say that you're the only Davinci How-to UA-camr that actually got it right as far as exporting the work and being able to bring it back in and have it work without an error. I tried everybody else's way and not one worked until I watched this. Thank you.
Took me 3 weeks to find a video that explained this thoroughly and you did a great job! Thank you!
I was looking for a method to reuse the fusion comp in other projects. I am so happy to find your video. Instead of one method, you gave multiple ways of doing it. You are so comprehensive and I am learning a lot from you. Continue with your great work.
I just watched 2 minutes after watching over 60 Minutes on other guys channels and instantly fixed my error, thanks Jay!

Thanks for this! I have long been wanting to know how to save Macros, and had no idea it was that easy. As always - your tutorials are terrific!
Thanks!

Fusion or animation is so complicated

There is a lot of usefull info in Jarreds vids, but man does he beat arround the bush...
