Welcome to 14.48 minute Saturday... Doesn't quite have the same ring does it?! 😆
Satisfying Saturday or simplify Saturdays could!
Definetly helping me simplify the way I do my editing, appreciate all the videos you post it's made getting into UA-cam this past year a lot more approachable since I found your channel :)
How to Save Transitions with Sound Like Woooosh?❤❤❤❤❤❤
Make Video Tutorial on "Animation Composer" How to Use it in Davinci Resolve 18?❤❤❤❤❤❤
Whenever I hit show folder, it just takes me to my desktop. How to I get into that folder?
Greate But I want to Make My Own Preset Like Magic Animate but I'm Having Problem to Save Them All Seperately So, I can Enable Them one By One Basicaly I want to Make that red on and off Button Please Help Me! You Have Added some Red Buttons and Check boxes in Magic Animate!
My God, man. You are a miracle worker. I've downloaded a bunch of tutorials on making various effects, etc. Now I can turn them into presets!! Thanks a zillion, Alex. You're the BEST!
The great thing about this channel is that not only is it informative and fun but provides tips that get those creative juices flowing for any video you may want to create. 1M subscribers is no less than this channel deserves. Always recommend to anyone getting into video editing. Bravo as always, Alex 👍🏻
I really love you for this, I've been looking for this stuff for so long. Quite literally saves me 1 hours a day minimum
The only thing I would Add to this video is to tell EVERYONE DO NOT TRY TO CREATE A FUSION PRESET IF YOUR ANIMATION IS IN THE MIDDLE OF A CLIP AS RESOLVE SAVES THE EXACT KEYFRAMES, MAKE SURE YOU TURN THE CLIP INTO A NEW FUSION CLIP AND THAT THE KEYFRAMES AT THE BOTTOM ARE AT ZERO. I cant describe how defeated I feel right now I created 20 presets which are completely useless soi please dont do the same
I was also wondering why my animations were not working 😅 thanks for the tip
Ironically I'm saving this for later! Thank you!
exactly what I was looking for, thank you
Love your work Sir. Thank you for teaching me so much about Davinci and it's great to see your channel grow!
Omg this is exactly what I asked for in your previous community tab post! Thank you!
Excellent info! Thank you! You have my favorite channel for DaVinci Resolve tutorials.
As always mon ami....Bravo! Simple yet so so effective advice & procedures.
Great video. Thanks for this. Now that I’m comfortable editing, I’m definitely finding the need to have my own presets available to make the editing process more efficient.
Great tutorial. I just learned that Davinci Resolve has presets and was wondering how they work. Thanks for the clear, understandable explanation.
I LOVE YOU DUDEEEEEE! Spent the entire day figuring this out but failed! You're a legendary legend mralextech ❤
Thanks you Mr Alex. I very appreciate your tutorials. Have a nice day.
Omfg !!!! I was literally looking to how to do this last night hahahahah. Loving your work as usual mate.
I’ve made a custom title in fusion from scratch. Several text with different options, merged, then this merges merged to a background bar. I was losing my mind getting that saved correctly to be available in any project. You showing this just made it so clear and simple.
*THANK YOU*
Thank god there is someone like you, now I know how to make cool VFX presets
I started using DR in November and your videos have sped me through the fumbling stage. Especially the create a template, which has sped up my work stream!
Thank you
💚💙💚💙

Great video, thank you.
Thank you! explanation is straight to the point 👍
Thanks! This was really helpful!
Man are you a breath of relief. I started using DR because my system doesn't support PPro but I was having second thoughts since not many big youtubers use it and I it's quite daunting to learn how to achieve the same effects on fusion like you do on AE.
Superb mate! Thank you, again :)
Hi!
Succinctly, clearly, just super! My thanks for your work! 👍
Love it thank you
thankyou!! help a lot
thank you. The presentation is clear
Useful stuff. Thanks
Never occurred to me you could do this, definitely going to save me a ton of time 😂
Great tip. Thanks 😊
Very useful. Thanks
you are a blessing
thanks for the value!
That scream at the beginning of the video was priceless.
you're a wizard MrAlexTech
Nice one Mr AT
great tuto
thank you!
I vastly prefer saving as a group instead of macro... For the simple reason that... I tend to f up things. So with groups I can go back into fusion, open the group. Ungroup it to get the original nodes back and do my corrections before saving again as groups. :)
With regular macro-saving, it just shows up as a single normal node and I have not found a way to really decompose it back to its original nodes. Which makes iteration much harder if I decide to modify it months/years down the line, or I just need to remember how I did that one really clever thing and implement it in another project without all the other clever things in the macro.
If youve saved as a macro. Simply locate the settings file, open it up in notepad or any text editor and change the word Macro to Group (i think it’s the second or third line down!) save and its an editable group again :) Best of both worlds!
I'd love to see an option to mark more than one control when creating a macro. Or "select all" button there. If you miss one control you'd like to keep when creating the macro then it's not so easy to correct this.
I am a serious noob at this video editing thing but I did find how to create macros and made a fusion effect for the start of my youtube videos. I found that if I had a clip at the start of my video that I had trimmed at the beginning then the macro, when applied to that trimmed clip would also be trimmed and try as I might, I could not get the full length of my macro to work. It was fine if I didn't trim the clip. I am sure that there is something I am doing wrong but I have to say I gave up on macros and started using power bins instead. Your video is giving me the confidence to try this out again :) Thanks
Thank you for the tutorial is this the same work flow to allow these to be added to the edit page
'Show folder' always just opens 'This PC' page. What folder are the DVE effects in?
Hi there sir! Big fan and you're my number 1 source to check first when I have a davinchi question. I just bought a new PC and I was wondering if there was a way to transfer my firelight settings< specifically my mic EQ settings > to my new PC? Or am I just going to have to write them down and do it manually on the new PC? Cheers!
I was wondering how to do this in resolve. Seems a bit easier in Premiere but this is definitely doable. Thanks!
Can I do this for adjustment layers and transitions? What about frames? If I put some animation in fusion, will it stay there in the macro effect thing? I NEED MORE PLEASE PART 2
thanks maaate
great tutorial, could you make one about creating an effect or template with a dropzone, so you can apply a video to it in the resolve tab
For some reason The edit folder doesnt exist in my templates folder
nice 👏👏
I successfully made preset for text+! thank you so much!❤🔥unfortunately when I tried to make preset for Transformation, the inspector controls looks different in Fusion, and my timeline settings for vertical formant doesn't preview - so I'm struggling making "my easy manual transformation" from the edit page, into a permanent preset for all TikToks. any tip or trick for that? I prefer to learn make my own, rather than download someone else's preset
can you make another tutorial for current version davinci resolve? because you can't find templates folder in current version
Hi! How i can do for save automatizations as a preset? Thanks! Great tutorial!
thx mate.
Definitely going to be needing to save repeated elements like timers. Thanks.
Hey Alex, when you explain something in Davinci (even in Fusion!) then all of a sudden it seems really easy! Great!! 🎉
But what do you do when you stop using certain effects? Where do you find these files to delete them? What is the name of the corresponding folder?
Thank you Alex, could you do a video on how to make a thumbnail in Davinci as a still, Thank you
Just in case someone elses computer is a bit dumb at times like mine and you can't seem to find any of the folders......
method 1. Restart Davinci and try again.
method 2. open the "show folders" and click the templates install to reinstall the templates and try again but this time when you hover to open the "show folders" make sure it says Davinci Resolve > SUPPORT > Templates > Edit....
hope this helps so you won't spend an extra hour hunting file locations like I did XD
Is this only for the paid version of davinci or can you get it working on the free version ?
I feel that saving out a Settings file is much easier when you have multiple nodes involved. This approach is not only easy but you have the added benefit of adding other effects should you decide to do so. I would even combine that strategy with Adjustment Clips and save those in the Power Bins area. Macros are a bit time consuming.
Hey hey! I personally like the edit controls of a macro but yeah I agree, they are time consuming.
If you save as a group, you can then always drop the file back into fusion though.
Alex, thanks for the tip. There’s just one little problem, this doesn’t work on the iPad. Specifically the ‘show page’ function. Is there a work around ?
Informative, its good.. tried out a bit..saving as a zip.. then drfx didnt work as other "channels" suggested to save as macro etcetera...this makes me at least see my own template inside DR now. Actually I am typing this more to say.. u do a great work in explaining stuff.. the levels are different but in the end I catched up more or less... I am into making music video lyrics and been using subtitle edit for this.. but hence if I wanted more dramatic lyrics and more dynamic.. it lead me to DR..... your info is much better here than other places.. And your way to do things are good :) Thank you for your time doing this video.. I am sure if we watch it a a dozen of times more we will know better :) cheers
Man you're the best! I tried to create presets with 6 versions just like what you did in your Magic zoom V3, but every time I'm saving it, it only saves 1 version. Maybe because I'm just using the free version?
Hi Alex. Is it possible to make a transition effect (images flying to left) with a woosh sound and save as a template to drag and drop?
THX
Can i go with the “save as” function for openfx templates instead of macros?
@MrAlexTech I save to a new folder in Templates which immediately shows up in Fusion Effects but even after restarting Davinci the folder doesn't show up on the edit page? Any suggestions?
can you tell how to quick extend (for ex. from 5m to 1h) any clip, like the one you've just created?
How is it possible to make animated effects with this? For instance, if I wanted a rain effect, would I need to outsource a waterdrop as an image? And how would I make it animated for as many time as I wanted?
I hate it when I've been out of the loop for so long, and things change all the time with the software, and it doesn't work on my computer
Thanks for this! I'd love a tutorial for how you animated harry potter to enter from the side and saved it as a preset
I need help I'm on a mac and nothing seems to happen when i click show folder
So I’ve encountered a problem! If you apply your custom pre set effect to an image than apply a transition the transform settings get locked to default even if you change them the image won’t be effected. Does anyone know a fix????
Hey Alex, I tried following your tut, but when I go into fusion and start playing with a title I can’t do anything. The reason is there is a clock that seems to be contested with the display and it runs continuously counting down. Please help
I have Tried the OpenFX method for Blanking fill, but "Zoom mode" is not working as it should (Stretch To Timeline, Zoom To Timeline) and I need to switch to Manual to make it work properly. Also "Folders" in effect like Source, Fill Extend, Fill Appearance, Drop Shadow, Global Blend are gone, everything is there, but unorganized:/
Anyway thanks a lot for amazing tutorial!
I see the template in Fusin but not in Edit, no matter how many times I restart DR 18.
so when i click open folder it dosent open for me.
Ok, for anyone unable to find their template in the edit page like me:
1. That "Show folder" is very weird. Sometimes it doesn't seem to be able to take you to that specific folder and sometimes it seems to generate a folder when you use it.
2. It apparently REALLY matters where exactly you place your templates. The Fusion page and the Edit page don't seem to look at all the same locations for templates. You will only find your templates in that location in the edit page if you place your templates (or the folder of templates) in the folder whos path ends with "Templates\Edit\Effects". For me, it worked once I moved my .setting files into this directory:
C:\Users\ReplaceThisWithYourUsername\AppData\Roaming\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Support\Fusion\Templates\Edit\Effects\MyEffects
I have created the last folder called "MyEffects" and you of course have to replace the "ReplaceThisWithYourUsername" in the path.
thank you that was really helpful
sadly i dont event can right click for the "show folder" it simply does nothing to right click o.O
i have it in neither of these :c
How do you export your video with that great quality to youtube? I record videos at 4k and then when edit them and upload to youtube, they look really low quality, my settings on davinci are... resolution 3840 x 2160 timeline and use quick export, so my videos look great quality on my laptop but low quality once upload them to youtube. How to upload great quality to youtube please?
why are people scared of fusion
fusion is the funfest of easy special effects 😍
I love navigating through a sea of layers and settings in After Effects, not! Fusion is not that difficult to learn.
Answer: when you use Fusion, the mind remembers the prefix CON, taking the mind to CONFUSION. Ergo, the very sound of the word FUSION is terrifying to some. Did that work for you? J/K 🎃
What is the difference between saving as Setting vs. Macro? Is Macro only for Effects which are applied to specific objects? And Settings its the entire template?
Macro allows you to select properties which are then available to you from the edit page! Where as settings file doesnt.
But, when you open an existing Macro and then re-save it as a new Settings file (as demonstrated in the video). It maintains the front end controls of the original Macro. Hope that makes sense!
so whenever I apply my open fx preset (it's for a title) you can't see the title anymore and its just a black screen. How do I fix that?
help 4:05 - 4:15 when I clicked on Open folder it doesnt go to that exact directory. can you share the exact link of the directory in your pc ill manually find it on mine
i am unable to do it in 18.6
"show in folder" isnt working for me, it just opens up the desktop for me
Late to the party but i figured out is because the folder "title" isn't created. And maybe davinci cannot create it because it requires Admin access
If you create it manually : "Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Fusion\Templates\Edit\Titles" then "show folder" works, and the addition of your custom titles too
@@celbax Better late than never! Thank U so much dude
I dont have the folders or the options you do when right clicking on Titles. There's no option to "show folder" at all.. and the \Support\Fusion\Templates directory is empty
Hi guys can anyone help me, im pulling my hair out, and not sure what im doing wrong, i keep watching loads of videos and get close but then another problem arises - What I am trying to do is have an iphone on the screen to the left and on the iphone it will play videos or have screen shots etc, whilst the rest of the screen will have another video, so on the basis it sounds straightforward but i must be using the wrong type of picture or something - so i have a png which has the iphone with a green screen and i do all the stuff in fusion and i can kind of get what i want but when i go back to the edit screen, the phone is ok but then has black all around it which is covering the video below, i have tried Alex's video tips about using alpha and foreground but that does not seem to work as the iphone screen is within the iphone frame and then the alpha or foreground covers the whole phone, when all i want is the screen to change - I use to be a Final Cut pro user and it would be easy to just build a drop zone and add and change pictures on the fly, but cant find an easy solution - Hey and if you are interested i know a tip that can get you all the Davinci Resolve Tabs on your IPAD -

Alex is the technique applicable to include Davinci's Audio Effects as well? Thank you!
Heyyy! Good questions actually, I don't believe so. Most of the audio effects do have an option to save as a preset though built into them. Which are you using?!
@@MrAlexTech Mostly fades on monologue presentation with many *correction* cuts (ah's, or a phrase or sentence reconstruct on recorded livestreams) - I've used preconstructed adjustment clips, but not sure if the audio adjustments are included. Thanks!
Help, I Cant See My Template On The Library
omg creating a template takes forever
👍👍
Be good to know how to save a subscribe pop up to be able to share with others that you have built or any other animation
I couldn't get 18.5 to show me the folders so I just put my created fusion title in a power bin. Hopefully that will allow me to see the title in other projects.
Got it to work. Onedrive was causing issues.
@@IthacaDon How did you fix it?
😲
🙏
👍
😃😃
Doesn't work for me anyway. When I try to open folders, nothing happens.
Open it in templates, not titles
🤟🙏🏻
Whenever I hit show folder, it just takes me to my desktop. How to I get into that folder?
same idk waht to do did you figure it out?
nevermind i did it
