Jason, thanks a lot for your helpful guide, i notice that you answer everyone, so here is my problem
i downloaded more thant 25 motion array transitions pack, and trust me if i say that there is not a single one withe .settings file into it
i mean, is easy to just drag the transitions in the folder you like.. but this is not my case
ALL OF THE TRANSITIONS pack i bought, are .DRA file!!!!! this is driving me crazy... basically are davinci archive if i m not mistaken
all i have to do is RESTORE a new project with the transition pack, and from there, edit and then moving the edited clips into the main project i m working with.
-i m experiencing a ton of problem... first of all is frustrating to open each and every time a new project just for a transition, imagine having to work on a big project with multiple clips and transitions to make
-secondly, it's disincevating having 20 different restored projects for 20 different transitions pack, and i cant use power bins with them also
-lastly, if i work on one of those transitions pack, once i used it for a transition, there is the high chance that when doing the copy-paste into my main project, it wont show the transition.
i know there are guides into the packs, but jesus, why cant i just drag and drop transitions like the default one, or using power bins?
For people having trouble finding the correct folder path on MAC, this is how I figured my way around it.
Folder path: Davinci Resolve -- Contents -- Resources -- Fusion -- Templates -- (create a folder caller Edit) -- (create a folder called Transitions), then you can drag and drop your transitions in there and it will load in Davinci Resolve!
Thanks for sharing!
Bless you!!! I just spent an hour looking for the Edit Folder!!!!
Thank you Sir you've just saved my life!!
Thank you so much , you helped me a lot 😍🙏🙏
Thank you to the only one person on the internet that has the useful information a bunch of us need! I wasted over an hour trying to find a way to install my new Motion Array transitions, and not a single How To video mentioned what you just did!! They all said- so simple, so quick! Hah- total B.S! without the proper info these were all a waste a time. So thank you @JustinBily! You get the Gold Star award! And @JasonYadlovski why didn't you think to mention this!!!
the .setting files are what I needed a few months ago when I commented on your video. I appreciate you doing a video still on this topic. I'm sure there are plenty of others coming from premiere that are confused about this process. Davinci actually has much cooler transitions. I was surprised.
Thanks for checking out the video! I appreciate it.
Always so helpful - cheers, Jason 🙏🏻🤟
Thanks Gary!
Exactly the kind of content I was looking for. The ending is great:) Your energy is great as always.
Awesome, thank you for watching!
@@JasonYadlovski You're welcome, Jason.
I did not have Blackmagic Design folder under Application Support but i created it and the other folders. Still it is not showing up in my Davinci resolve. I am using free version.
Very good!
Thanks!
These are amazing - thanks for sharing a simplifying the process of installing! Which audio file did you use for demonstrating these transitions? That particular sound really adds to the effect!
You're welcome! The audio I used is called Futuristic Transformation. You can find it here: motionarray.com/sound-effects/futuristic-transformation-420475/
@@JasonYadlovski Awesome!! Can’t wait to checkout your uploads and learn some more Davinci 🙌
Ur talking style is awsome, it holds me to learn.
Awesome, that's great to hear! I usually only get people complaining about it. 😜
Nice video helpful Thanks a lot. But one doubt if I want sound effect with transition how can I get. Are there any transition effects with sound included
You have to download a SFX separately. It doesn’t have one when you download it.
Suppose you go into the Inspector and do a lot of mods. Can you save it as a preset or something?
Hey Jason, thank you for this. Can you please make a video about titles. I'm having a hard time importing titles into a CURRENT project!
Jay, thanks, glad you put this out because I thought you were going to describe DRFX self-installing effects. Just for my continuing education on DaVinci Resolve, is .Setting an old way and .DRFX the new way, and Motion Array needs to be compatible with older versions of Resolve? And .DRFX only works on ver 18 maybe? Or what is the difference since I'm just guessing? Is there an option to download from Motion Array in .DRFX? All of my Motion Array downloads so far have been clips, audio, and stills. Thanks.
Hey man! Yeah, DRFX is a new way to do it where it self installs. I'm sure things will move that way more in the future, but there's a lot of stuff that's still a manual install. I suppose if you find newer items on Motion Array, they may be DRFX, but I haven't come across any yet. They basically all accomplish the same thing though.
@@JasonYadlovski it is just unprofessional IMHO for the sub services to really allow anything else to exist much longer on their libraries. Thanks for the video though to solve something that shouldn't be an extra hurdle of time consumption to our editing process. Paying for files that are useless without these instructions is ridiculous and sits in freeware territory honestly...
When I download the transitions from Motion Array, there is no files in a .settings format. That is where I am having the problem.
btw, if you go to fusion in Da Vinci, open up the effects, go to templates, edit, transitions...right click on transitions and it will ask if you want to show in folder. If you click that, it will give you the path to that folder. For anyone having trouble. Mine wasn't the same path as this video.
Hi Jason, great Video & thank you! Question - why are some of the motion array transitions .setting (which seem easy to use) files and others are .drp files (which are a lot less user friendly?)
I think they just change the way they require the creators to make the assets. That's the only reason I can think of...
I like your content... Many thanks
Thanks! I appreciate you checking out the video and dropping a comment!
how do I delete the installed transition pack?
Greetings. Do you know how can we leave the "motion blur" box checked for the included Resolve transitions by default? I'm kind of tired of having to check the box everytime I place the included transitions, which I use the most. Thanks.
You can just modify the transition how you'd like, then save it as your own custom transition. Then it will appear in the effects library with the rest of the transitions under User.
I have envato elements, so the effects and transitions are similar to this. But every time I drag one of them to my video, my video starts to lag HEAVILY. A simple one minute video with an 8mm video overlay effect took 20 minute to render. How can I go about fixing that?!
Love your stuff, man! Hey, I got a free account but it won't let me download anything. Am I missing something, or is the free account just looky-no-touchy?
Thanks man! You should be able to download some stuff that is free. The free items will have the word FREE in a little red box when you are looking at a particular asset. Also if you go into any category, on the left hand side there's a check box for 'Free' and that should show you the free things you can download. Here's 2 free macros for Resolve: motionarray.com/browse/davinci-resolve-macros/free/
Hey I installed the transitions pack but they only show on the fusion page and not on the edit page. Any ideas why?
That's strange, did you put them in the wrong folder maybe?
@JasonYadlovski I don't think so but they show on the fusion page but no on the edit page I don't know what tha heck is weird
@@ministerioabrazamejesus same! im on macbook pro 16 2021. but, i have it in my mac studio in edit tab. have u solved urs? using it in only fusion hard to work
@syafiqrasyid5918 no I haven't figured it out yet but I think it has to do with certain transition packs I bought another pack from visual effects website and they installed with no problem and they show on the edit page
@@ministerioabrazamejesus hello, did you manage to fix the problem with the weird ones or just downloaded others till it works? I have the same problem but i'd really love to use the ones I purchased...
Hi Jason, I love your videos they’ve been so helpful for me starting out! When I try paste the files it says I’ll need to provide administrator permission to copy to this folder. Is this an issue with my settings or the program settings of davinci resolve?
Hi! I haven't seen that before, but from the sounds of it, I'd think it's a permissions issue on your computer, not in Resolve.
@@JasonYadlovski Thank you! I think you're right!
lov u
OK, so I'm a complete newbie to editing, Mac, DaVinci Resolve, and Motion array. Heres' the problem I'm having. The motion array directions that came with the download are not working (the restore project archive approach). AND, I do not have the last three folders under Fusion. All I have is Default Autosaves and Queue. My Templates folder is empty. Do I simply add the edit/Transitions folders?
I appreciate all you are doing. I love your videos. Thanks in advance for your response
Hi! Can you tell me which Motion Array asset you are trying to install? Maybe i can help you with a little more info.
@@JasonYadlovski YT won't let me include link, but filtering for transitions, it's called "fast glitch"
I can take a look. For the transitions, I believe you just have to copy them into the current folder, like I mentioned in the video. Were you able to try that?
@@JasonYadlovski I appreciate your reply.
Hi Jason, can you help. I have bought some 3rd party transitions from Motionarray. and the help file is the same as yours. Macintosh HD/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/Fusion/Templates/Edit/Transitions, but when I get to my templates file it is empty, there is no edit or transitions folder to put the transitions in. I am using an M1 Apple macbook pro. laptop. black magic just said since they are not their transitions, there not interested.
That's strange, that should be the correct path. You can try to create your own custom transition based on one of the resolve transitions, then try and find that in the directory.
I have managed to do it but I had to install them via the fusion page., @@JasonYadlovski
I am unable to install to Davinci resolve 18.5. Do you have any other videos that might help?
This is how to do it in Mac, it should be similar on PC. I don’t have any other videos about it.
In my Mac theres no such a folder Black Magic on Application Support, thats odd!?
Hey Jason, I've followed everything step by step, found the folder, created a new folder, dropped the .setting, and even though they appear in the effects, they don't load any preview :( And once I drop them into the timeline, it just sets the whole preview black. And the same happens when I export. Its been a week already since I started trying different options. Any ideas?
Hey- I would try clearing the cache for the project or all of it for Resolve. I’d also try to change the length of it to see if that helps.
I am Having an issue where i can see what the transition would do when i scrub through but it wont let me place it on my videos. Honestly i am having the hardest time working with motion array and divinci combined. Help lol
Have you tried shortening your clips by a few frames to see if it will drop on there? If there are enough handles on the clips, it should allow for any transition to go on it. Did you try a standard transition and see if that works on the same clips?
I use Davinci 18.6 , I dont have any traisition or eidt folder ,then I created Traisition folder and I paste all the file I download ,but nothing happen :( can u help me
same
So I have a windows pc and the templates folder is not showing ! Any ideas how to fix this ?😢
Hey! I'd double check the file path. There are several that look very similar but are actually different. You could try to create a custom transition by using an existing Resolve transition and modify it, then save it. Maybe that would create the folder for you.
How do you find the application file to intially put these transistions in? Thanks
You just copy and paste them into the directory I showed.
Hi Jason, I don't know if you are still looking at the comments from this video but I am stuck. Please help! I downloaded a transition from Motion Array but the zip file only contained a Da Vinci Resolve archive file. There were no .setting files. I restored the archive but damn is it complicated!
Hi! What do you see when you restore the project archive? Is it transition files? Can you tell me what it was called that you downloaded and maybe I can take a look at it?
you need to download from the macros section of the site, not the templates section. I made the same mistake
I don't have templates/edit/fusion/transition...folder. when i go in fusion section and open transitions or effects and click on show in folder it shows folder of fusion/default autosaves.
You might not see the folders if you haven't created any custom items yet. Maybe try creating the folder manually. Also double check you are in the correct file path, there are several paths that look very similar....
@@JasonYadlovski I dragged the presets into fusion effects library in Davinci Resolve only and it worked. Folders were also created automatically after that.
Não consigo encontrar essas pastas, alguém me ajude por favor
l had the same problem with the location of the folder path. After creating Edit & Transition folders. Copy and paste all the downloaded files/folders into the transition folder not just setting files.
👍
worked with me, same problem
hello it does not work for me. It's blank and I do only have archive file.
that file folder listed in the macro doesn't exist in my directory structure. Has something changed??
Nothing should have changed, it could be that you didn't have any custom transitions made, so the folder doesn't exist yet....
@@JasonYadlovski yeah, I heard back from Motion Array. I didn't know I needed to create them. I would assume that Black Magic would have at least stubbed in folders.
Hello guys, I have the same problem, I have beta 18.5 and the folders are empty. I even create folder EDIT and folder TRANSITION my self but it doesn't work. Please can someone help me ? I try to paste it everywhere and still it doesn't appear in my DaVinci so I have no transitions
Try upgrading the the official release and see if that helps. It just came out....
I’m on studio 18.5.1 on windows and have the same issue. Trying to install a MotionArray title, but the file folders don’t exist. Did the same thing trying to create the folders, but it didn’t work.
Well some problem here I’m on 18.6 did everything mention here but nothing shows on DaVinci Resolve!
I try installing everything on my windows computer and same results!
I did subscribe yesterday for a year on Motion Array for that reason but what’s the point if I can’t get it to work!
My guess is that you both might be in the wrong folder, there’s multiple directories that look very similar. If the files are placed in the proper location, there’s no reason they should not appear in Davinci Resolve wants to restart.
The folders don't exist in windows I too have managed to get them in the fusion only page , but once I added to relevant edit and transition folder that was missing . They show On the edit page and are either just black of say media offline
So frustrating I even unistalled and reinstalled davinci
I purchased a one year subscription (last night) to Motion Array and can not find a single instruction on how to install transitions based on using the Windows directory as shown in your video... what am I missing here? The video and instructions included in the download appear to be on how to insert a transition and not how to install? And the video contains no audio?
Are you trying to install these exact transitions or a different set? If it's a different set, let me know what they are and I can take a look at them. Did you not see a folder in the location for PC that I show at 3:50? It should be ProgramData/Blackmagic Design/DaVinciResolve/Fusion/Templates/edit/transitions If you don't see the last folder it could be because you haven't created any custom transitions yet, so you could add the folder if needed and see if the transitions appear when you reopen resolve.
@@JasonYadlovski All I get in the instructions folder is a silent video showing how to add an already installed transition into the edit. The pdf you're showing does not exist after unzipping any of the transition files I have downloaded. No instructions on installing and the directory you show does not exist on the 18.5 install?
That’s strange, you should be able to see the directories I listed in my comment above. If you don’t see the last transitions folder, it could be, because you have not created any custom transitions in the past, therefore, the folder does not exist yet. You could try adding the folder, drop in the transition you download and see if that works. If you’re still having trouble, I would drop an email to Motion Array, explaining the problem and see if they can help you a little further
I downloaded some glitch transitions and instead of .setting files, all they gave me was .mov files. I looked everywhere in the folder and there are no .setting files! I've downloaded titles before and gotten .setting files no problem
Maybe you have to use them as an overlay? Were there instructions that came with the transition?
mine shows blank anytime i add it to a clip, when it gets to a point its meant to transition it suddenly shows black blank
Sometimes, it’s just a cache or playback thing, I get that once and while too. Try clearing out the render cache and or changing the timeline proxy mode from full to half.
@@JasonYadlovski i downloaded exactly the transition you used for this video and it worked....im guessing this method works just for the transition you used in the video
Doesn't work for me, it keeps showing overwrite on davinci for the folder templates. Im on windows.
Hmmm....that's strange. It shouldn't overwrite anything....
@@JasonYadlovski It shows I have a template file in two places, in program data and in program files
when i click templates, it doesn't show edit folder nor transitions. How do i fix this?
same thing here
There are no free transitions on that website.
What if you dont have the edit folder int the template folder?
Double check the path and see that it's correct. If there are no presets saved by you or 3rd party presets, sometimes the folder won't exist yet. It works like that with audio presets....You can try creating the folder and see if that works.
@@JasonYadlovski when I first got it and went into the template folder there was nothing in it I had to add folders to it
Did it work?
@@awaiszahid1.026 sometimes it works but its not a guarantee
@@Gallivant how can i fix it? Please help me out. I use free version. Is it because of that?
Maybe it would be a good idea to add Mac or Mac OS in the title??
i have a problem where it's just a black screen
Try clearing out the cache files, that seem to work for me
@@JasonYadlovski aight
How to uninstall the same ?
You should be able to go the same file path they were installed and then just grab them and delete them. The files paths are shown at 3:40 in the video
sometimes is a big mess to install!!!
These transitions are so hokey, so corny, all of my clients would go running for the hills if I used any of them. Cheeeezy!
Haha! I still think they are cool. For paid client work, most of the time I wouldn't even use any transitions, but for UA-cam it's all good. 😁
I think it’s different strokes for different folks. Some of these transitions are nice for certain types of videos, and some are not.
none of these fucking tutorial videos actually work,
Sorry to hear your having troubles. They work for me, what isn’t working?
none of the folder paths you mention exist, I even created them like the comment below me mentioned and still nothing showed up when I restarted resolve. even when you click "show in finder" on the transition in fusion, it brings up a folder called templates, and there is only one file in it Templates.drfx...... wtf is that? im literally wasting HOURS of my life trying to install stupid simple transitions into this new program, Final Cut was drag and drop, I want to punch myself in the face@@JasonYadlovski
next time show us how to get to the folder. I had to search on how to do it smh
I showed you at 3:40….🤔
Nah like from the beginning beginning. Click where the Mac drive is and getting to that folder. I’m not a primary Mac user but I’m using a Mac for DR and I don’t know how to even access the drive. In your video, you just assumed your audience is familiar with how to get there and didn’t show the steps from the beginning.
Ridiculously way too much information. Please just get to the point.
Some people want all the info. 🤷🏻♂️
Hey so how do i do this for windows. This motion array transitions are not making sense to be honest. Ive tried every route and transitions are not working. Effect works fine though but not transitions.
