That was an excellent deep dive into simplifying video elements using code. Being a software developer turned video editor, I really find these tutorials as an excellent source of education and inspiration. Thanks a ton for providing such information on UA-cam!
What an awesome tutorial! I love how you build step by step, but don't spend too much time on each step. We can always pause and replay when we need to, but we can also just sit back, and watch the whole video to get the general idea. The way you zoom in to see the controls as you edit the expressions lets. us focus exactly on what we need to and I also like how you sometimes show just a portion of the controls and the resulting rectangle, so we see how editing values affect the end result. Thank you!!!
Ah thank you so much. We try to keep the pace up because like you said, people can always pause and rewind. We’re glad all the little details are noticed because these things take a long time to make! It takes an hour just to proof the video. Thanks for watching and please feel free to share with people you know might appreciate it.
What an exceptionally concise and high level tutorial! I am going to need to watch this at least three more times. Please more like this. Great channel and brilliant teachers.
Awww man, you are too kind. We appreciate you. Hey everyone…. Go watch Casey’s content. It’s where we go to learn about fusion. Thank-you as always Casey.
As an AE and Resolve user, I always resort to creating my titles and supers in AE before exporting that back into Resolve cuz of a lack of Fusion understanding. This helps a huge deal. Looking forward to more deep dives like this. Best duo on YT!
I'm just always impressed on how powerful this editing software is, and I'm always amazed on how good of a job you guys explain things on your channel !
Amazing tutorial Team 2 Films! By explaining Fusion's coordinate system & comparing it to how After Effects does it, as well as making Expressions approachable to a beginner really demystified what can seems like a very large mountain to climb for a beginner with Fusion. 💫
Glad it was helpful. Welcome think one of the reasons fusion is challenging for some is simply because it’s different, so hopefully if we explain those differences it will help people on their way. Great to have you here.
Amazing video! I also have new ideas for creating tools in the Fusion page, and your video will definitely help me navigate Fusion and build macros more efficiently. Thank you so much!
Just fantastic ❤, I have set myself a target to expand my fusion skills this year, adding custom controls was one of the mile stones. I have saved this to my fusion watch list and it will be looped and paused constantly until I crack this one. Than you so much.
@@dontknow-sn3gu What do you mean? This tutorial? I would say that this tutorial is not particularly hard. There are however many steps. That does add complication, but we still think it's very attainable.
OG Mam is back, you are amazing, this channel is amazing..I have learned soo so much from you. Thank you. & just a compliment, you are absolutely captivating & Mesmerizing. 😊
I’m a HUGE fan of your in-depth tutorials 💪🏻 May I suggest another tutorial topic? I would love to see Fusion’s USD system and tools pushed to their limits. For example, in a 3D product animation scenario (kinda like Smeaf’s Blender exploded views and animation tutorials). Something like: - Preparing and importing pre-animated USD model - Managing/changing PBR and MaterialX shaders - Retime animations - Cloners, duplicates, delays - Highlighting parts of the model - Tracked call-outs - Transparent or x-ray sections (reveal/hide inner parts) - Best lighting setups, hdri dome light - Depth pass, custom bokeh shapes - Motion blur - Best render settings for shadows, general quality I understand Fusion is a compositor and not a full 3D software per se, but just how far could we go? How fast would be the render times in case of a client quick turn around project? 🤔 Just my two cents 😅
For sure, that's a great idea. We're planning 3D tutorials. I think it might take us a while to progress to that level of complexity though. We need to do some more basic 3d stuff so we don't loose people by jumping straight to the super advanced! We appreciate having you here. Please keep the suggestions coming. And thanks for taking the time to leave a comment.
I have about 3 hours of your Davinci Resolve tutorial videos and have fallen in love with it. I used Final Cut for years. The nodes always seemed weird until i got used to it. Just trying to say thanks for the teaching/knowledge
As someone who really enjoys VFX work, but haven't had a ton of time to explore Fusion scripting, I found this exceptionally inspiring. Between this channel and Creative Video tips with Chadwick, I'm finding my self more and more impressed with Fusions potential. Now if only someone could find a way to make it support Deep compositing it might shift to being my preferred tool.
Thank-you so much and we appreciate having you here. We're so glad it's been helpful. Chadwick makes great videos. We love his channel. What do you mean by deep compositing?
@@team2films in Nuke there is a camera based depth system known as Deep. It's similar to depth maps, except it works with real world units provided by cameras that capture the depth information from a scene. This allows interaction between CG and real wold elements of a comp far more effectively than with something like a depth map. The modern Planet of the Apes movies are prime examples of Deep compositing.
@@team2filmsDeep compositing is a bit like deep Pixel compositing (which Fusion supports), just more advanced. Only Nuke supports deep compositing. I think they have a patent on it. The easiest way to understand deep compositing, is to watch a few of their videos on the topic (The Foundry YT channel). I'm not a compositor, but am interested in what Fusion can do. And the complain of the lack of deep compositing, is brought up again and again, by Nuke people. It seems many compositors would switch in a heartbeat to Fusion, if it had deep compositing. Btw., great video. It's actually something I've wondered about how to make. I didn't know, you could create custom controls. Expressions aren't scary, it's kind of like formulas in Excel or Google Sheet. But it might scare some.
@@team2films Awesome! Could you also use instances for the second and third bar graphs, and de-instance just the value and position? I get it was more about expressions in this one, but was curious if that is another option.
@@MaximoJoshua Yeah, that's the technique we wanted to use. But instancing did not appear to work with macro tools (or perhaps more specifically with the macro tool we made). We also tried publishing and connecting, but again were having issues with that. So we very specifically worded that part of the video that 'in this instance' it was our preferred method, because maybe it will get fixed at some point.
Thank you so much for this walk through. I'm not going to pretend that it won't take me about 5 play throughs to grasp these concepts.... but love going deep!
Next up using an iif expression to automatically move the bar to the top which is having the highest value and sort the bars based on the value. You can also add a button to allow the user to either sort them in increasing or decreasing order.
WOW, just WOW. Started video editing only 6 months ago, mostly based on YT courses, I have seen a lot from multiple creators. But THIS ONE is the most comprehensive, deep and very nicely presented training on DR(S) I have ever seen. Like ever. HUGE CONGRATS! (8K editing? Which machine are you using?)
@@e-economy- Yeah, an M3 Max will do great. Although please note, it's impossible to making sweeping statements that 'all 8k video' will work fine on a particular system. Performance is dependent on many other things, including effects, number of clips in the timeline, etc. Yes the paid course is very in-depth. It doesn't cover the fusion page though. All our fusion content is free on our channel, the course focuses on media, edit, Fairlight, color and deliver. Please check out the free sample lesson and the 35 minute masterclass.
@@team2films You are both awesome people. Just a small note though for around 13:50 - These are brackets [ ] and these are parentheses ( ). You said "brackets" when you were talking about parentheses :D
When I saw the Math object and the Floor method used on it, felt like I was watching a JavaScript tutorial video. This tutorial is so cool but also very advanced for anyone who is new to Fusion in Resolve. Can you guys create a Fusion Tutorial for the UA-cam community starting with the basics and moving to intermediate and then advanced? You teach so well and I've learnt a lot from watching your videos in the past. Thank you!
Thanks so much for watching. Yes, this tutorial is aimed at a more intermediate level. But we'd say it's not hard, it's just complex! It's definitely attainable. We'll try and create beginner fusion tutorials in the future. In the meantime, we are oh so happy to recommend @CaseyFaris ua-cam.com/video/MDpR2xluwvI/v-deo.html
this is like the 4th time ive been trying to do something in Resolve and I go online to get a little help and you guys post a video while I was working. weird timing dude.
This is such a good tutorial. I've just worked my way through it. Had a couple of issues wiht not having Sublime but found an althernative. Thanks for this.
So glad you enjoyed it. Glad you have an alternative too. Any text editor will work fine, but ones that recognise programming syntax are particularly helpful.
@ Yeh, I thought that any would do too, but the default text editor on Mac didn’t. When I opened the macro to edit it, it would not save it back in a way DVR recognised it. Also, when I was building the expressions, the bit where you were getting the screen ration, the quotes character was different at the beginning and end, which stopped the expression working. It took me ages to realise that’s what was wrong :) I had to copy it into obsidian and then cut/paste it out 😂 Anyway, figured it out now. And looking forward to building my own Fusion Clips and motion graphics. Now that I know how to save them out :)
Woooow! This is one of the best and most comprehensive videos on building efficient graphs with the help of custom tools and expressions. Where can one learn more about expressions? I'd love to become more proficient and efficient in Fusion but I haven't found a good source where to learn from. How did you pick up the knowledge you have? Thank you so much for another great video and looking forward to see more from you here on UA-cam! 💗
Hello, thanks so much for watching and taking the time to leave a nice comment. Please watch our other Fusion Masterclasses, there's two of them. There are expressions in both (I think!). @CaseyFaris and @VFXStudy are two excellent resources to learn about Fusion. Great to have you here.
great stuff, felt a lil overwhelming at first but maybe that is because I hardly use expressions or motion graphics, but this is a good starting point. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Great video, thank you. The math part was a little fast, so I can't wait to be able to download the macro so I can inspect it and learn more. Once again, great job on putting this together. Just wish I could afford your training course.
Thanks so much. The download is now available. If we ever move too fast on something slowing the playback speed can help sometimes. By the way, There’s a January Sale on the course currently.
@@team2films Except it's hard to go slow when you don't include the video to begin with. For example, the Minimum, Maximum, and Actual values, it would have been nice to include a quick shot of the final Control values in the Edit Controls dialogue before cutting to the next subject. I get the idea behind the controls, but it would have been nice to see the values you set for at least one of them.
@@fuzzyLizardStudios Our apologies! We missed that one. I think we used 0-500 for the range and 0-1000 for the allowed. They all have the same settings.
Great video so far! At 4:29 you say "1 to 20" and then "1 to 100", but you type 0 instead of 1 both times. Is that a minor mistake? Or does that mean that the range/allowed values are exclusive of the given numbers?
FOR FREE? GOOD GOD. Nice video. I will give my thoughts after I finished Edit1: I find it hilarious that you aren't using the shapes nodes (sNodes) cause its just so god awful with customizing it. The Edit Controls is a game changer with making custom graphics. the 1 by 1 explanation also helps with math for how many bars you can keep in a frame. So if you make the width .1, then you can get 10 to make up the size of 1. Like if you want to take a certain portion of the screen you can just type in 1/X. It will convert it to the portion of the screen you want to take up. Good god, I do padding manually by using fractions and math. Q: Can't you use the "+" icon to drag in the variable that you are wanting in the expression? This video just showed me how primitive i am with my usage of Davinci
Yes, the plus icon is a pick whip. Shape nodes have their use. In this instance, rectangle was more appropriate. Yes, the relative coordinates system is really awesome once you understand it! So glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful, thanks for watching
It can be whatever you want. Think about the data you will be entering and set minimum and maximum allowable values that are appropriate for the data you are working with. Does that make sense?
Great in depth Tutorial 🤩 Im having an issue with the Expression @ 21.40 ish Have checked the Text Layout Center expression code but cant seem to find an error. The Macro doesnt seem to show the expressions unless i'm missing something?
Thanks so much. It's hard to diagnose your issue with so little information. I'd recommend removing components from the expression, and adding them back in one by one until you work out which expression causes the issue.
I make documentary and short films on Science & Technology in DaVinci Resolve Studio. Node based compositing is very difficult, specially Expressions and Macros. I am familiar with basics of Fusion Nodes and I want to learn advanced fusion compositing like Graph Bar composition. Can you please share the link of tutorials that helps me with advanced Fusion Compositing.
I think we mentioned putting the same values for minimum and maximum that you put for the value tool. Those values are shown on screen when making the value control. Hope that helps.
In the end you like the different nodes via expressions, i want to do the same by using instances, but they dont work as expected. I think davinci is linking "background" controls not visible in the inspector together and therefore instances dont work like expected. Do you know how to fix this or do i have to use expression or do it manually?
Yes, for some reason instances do not work well with macro tools. We'll investigate if there are any solutions. Publishing and connecting was not working properly either. Hence we used expressions.
Hello, sorry you are having problems with that expression. Can you provide any more information on the problem you are having? i.e. what expression you are typing. What problem you are experiencing, etc.
Holy cow! This is like brain surgery… I don’t have a clue what you’re talking about. There’s a lot to be learned before we get to his stage. Fusion… Or as I like to call it- confusion is like doing brain surgery. This would be so easy to do an after effects.
The process would be fairly similar in After Effects. You'd actually need to do the same thing, create custom controls and then link them using expressions. Thanks for watching.

May I suggest another tutorial topic? I would love to see Fusion’s USD system and tools pushed to their limits.
For example, in a 3D product animation scenario (kinda like Smeaf’s Blender exploded views and animation tutorials).
Something like:
- Preparing and importing pre-animated USD model
- Managing/changing PBR and MaterialX shaders
- Retime animations
- Cloners, duplicates, delays
- Highlighting parts of the model
- Tracked call-outs
- Transparent or x-ray sections (reveal/hide inner parts)
- Best lighting setups, hdri dome light
- Depth pass, custom bokeh shapes
- Motion blur
- Best render settings for shadows, general quality

Thanks so much. And hey... it might be simpler than you think. It just takes a little time.
Another excellent video -- thanks
Great video, thank you. The math part was a little fast, so I can't wait to be able to download the macro so I can inspect it and learn more. Once again, great job on putting this together. Just wish I could afford your training course.
Thanks so much. The download is now available. If we ever move too fast on something slowing the playback speed can help sometimes. By the way, There’s a January Sale on the course currently.
@@team2films Except it's hard to go slow when you don't include the video to begin with. For example, the Minimum, Maximum, and Actual values, it would have been nice to include a quick shot of the final Control values in the Edit Controls dialogue before cutting to the next subject. I get the idea behind the controls, but it would have been nice to see the values you set for at least one of them.
@@fuzzyLizardStudios Our apologies! We missed that one. I think we used 0-500 for the range and 0-1000 for the allowed. They all have the same settings.
@ Perfect, thanks
Awesome video!
Great stuff
Thanks for watching.
Thank you ❤
You're welcome 😊
Felt like I was learning coding rather than motion graphics.
Hahah, yeah for sure! It can be like that sometimes.
You've just convinced me to get an Envato subscription and download assets with gratitude. *laughs
Hehehe! Now you know how the sausage gets made!
May I ask which monitor you use? Thank you
In this video, it’s an LG Ultrafine 4K
thanks
You're welcome!
💯❤💫 Thank you,
Thank you!
You bet!
Si pudieran ponerlo en los vídeos más antiguos sería genial hay mucha información muy valiosa para los que hablamos español tendrían más vistas.
Gracias por poner el idioma español esto me emociona mucho….
I would've loved to see how we can add a custom easing to the macro so we don't have to go to the Fusion page to change it.
Oooo, that's a good one. What aspect of the bar are you looking to ease?
@@team2films the length
@@Lokmansouhail Do you mean when the value is changed? And are you talking about a tool that you've made with exposed controls in the edit page?
I have an issue where my text does not fit in the rectangles ^^' Can you add in description the formulas you use ?
You can download the finished tool from our website. You can find the expressions inside the tool. Does that help?
this what we need perfect tutorial in davinci resolve 2025
Happy to hear. Welcome to 2025!
too much efforts thanks
Thanks for liking
God!!!
So glad it has helped.
I wish I could have an elder sister like you who teaches me fusion like this 😭😭
Don't worry, there are plenty more videos to come! Thanks for watching
Great video so far! At 4:29 you say "1 to 20" and then "1 to 100", but you type 0 instead of 1 both times. Is that a minor mistake? Or does that mean that the range/allowed values are exclusive of the given numbers?
Sorry I answered my own question. It's inclusive of 0.
It was a mistake. There’s not point having a graph with 0 rows. 1 is the correct value. Thanks for watching and spotting that.
❤❤
❤️❤️ Back at ya! Thanks for watching.
FOR FREE? GOOD GOD. Nice video. I will give my thoughts after I finished
Edit1:
I find it hilarious that you aren't using the shapes nodes (sNodes) cause its just so god awful with customizing it.
The Edit Controls is a game changer with making custom graphics.
the 1 by 1 explanation also helps with math for how many bars you can keep in a frame. So if you make the width .1, then you can get 10 to make up the size of 1. Like if you want to take a certain portion of the screen you can just type in 1/X. It will convert it to the portion of the screen you want to take up.
Good god, I do padding manually by using fractions and math.
Q: Can't you use the "+" icon to drag in the variable that you are wanting in the expression?
This video just showed me how primitive i am with my usage of Davinci
Yes, the plus icon is a pick whip. Shape nodes have their use. In this instance, rectangle was more appropriate. Yes, the relative coordinates system is really awesome once you understand it!
So glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful, thanks for watching
you would make our lives so much easier if you-ll put this macro for sale.
This macro will be available for free soon. There will be a link in the description.
Ah Saoirse's Blackmagic. The crush is real
Thank-you!
What are the Minimum Maximum and Value Constrols configuration???
It can be whatever you want. Think about the data you will be entering and set minimum and maximum allowable values that are appropriate for the data you are working with. Does that make sense?
Hy, I’m following along and fusion won’t let me change the range, allowed and default values under edit controls for some reason 3:03
Hello, sorry you are having problems. It's hard to diagnose without more information though. Have you managed to resolve the issue yet?
Great in depth Tutorial 🤩 Im having an issue with the Expression @ 21.40 ish Have checked the Text Layout Center expression code but cant seem to find an error.
The Macro doesnt seem to show the expressions unless i'm missing something?
Thanks so much. It's hard to diagnose your issue with so little information. I'd recommend removing components from the expression, and adding them back in one by one until you work out which expression causes the issue.
Point(Rectangle1.LeftMargin+Rectangle1.Width-Rectangle1.Height*Rectangle1.Padding*comp:GetPrefs(“Comp.FrameFormat.Height”)/comp:GetPrefs(“Comp.FrameFormat.Width”), Rectangle1.Center.Y)
TEM COMO COLOCAR ESTE VIDEO EM PORTUGUES BRAZIL?
I make documentary and short films on Science & Technology in DaVinci Resolve Studio. Node based compositing is very difficult, specially Expressions and Macros. I am familiar with basics of Fusion Nodes and I want to learn advanced fusion compositing like Graph Bar composition. Can you please share the link of tutorials that helps me with advanced Fusion Compositing.
That’s awesome! Please watch through our fusion videos, you’ll love them! Casey Faris is also excellent. You’ll love him too!
Can we install this preset on ipad dr
No, this preset is made for the Fusion page and the Fusion page is not on the iPad version of DR. Sorry!
I couldn't do the Minimum, Maximum and value controls because I don't know what values to put in the controls Default, Range and Allowed
I think we mentioned putting the same values for minimum and maximum that you put for the value tool. Those values are shown on screen when making the value control. Hope that helps.
@@team2films thanks for the help
() - parentheses
😂🤣 Thats the theme of the video!!!
In the end you like the different nodes via expressions, i want to do the same by using instances, but they dont work as expected. I think davinci is linking "background" controls not visible in the inspector together and therefore instances dont work like expected. Do you know how to fix this or do i have to use expression or do it manually?
Yes, for some reason instances do not work well with macro tools. We'll investigate if there are any solutions. Publishing and connecting was not working properly either. Hence we used expressions.
mailing list link is broken! :(
Fixed. Thank-you.
When i doing expression in height its not happening why ?? And also all the nodes get deselected ??
Hello, sorry you are having problems with that expression. Can you provide any more information on the problem you are having? i.e. what expression you are typing. What problem you are experiencing, etc.

Expressions not working at a time ipad don't know much about it
The iPad version of Resolve currently only supports the Cut and Colour page. Sorry!
Holy cow! This is like brain surgery… I don’t have a clue what you’re talking about. There’s a lot to be learned before we get to his stage. Fusion… Or as I like to call it- confusion is like doing brain surgery. This would be so easy to do an after effects.
The process would be fairly similar in After Effects. You'd actually need to do the same thing, create custom controls and then link them using expressions. Thanks for watching.
But after effect is good in this stuff why you don't use it nobody will use fusion to build motion graphic template
Because I would have to pay for AE
After effects is great. So is Fusion. If you are editing in Resolve, you should definitely do your animation in Fusion!
You guys are really doing Gods work! Thanks so much for what you do 🫶🏽✨🥺
Thanks, we appreciate having you here.
