Davinci Resolve 16/15: Fusion Basics

Connect your media into the transform node, resize using size and aspect ratio controls, adjust position, pivot, and angle, and route to media out, then reset as needed.

Master the Fusion background node to build and customize gradients and colors, explore linear, radial, square, and corner gradient types, adjust offsets, repetitions, and create a moving background.

Learn to use the mask painter and polyline stroke in fusion to paint over footage, reveal media, and tune brush size, softness, spacing, and stroke controls.

Organize your fusion node graph by renaming notes and backgrounds, aligning nodes in straight lines, and adding pipe notes to maintain a clean, efficient workflow.

Explore the spline editor in Davinci Resolve Fusion to shape animation curves, adjust keyframes, and control speed with linear and smooth curves, including duration changes.

Create a Fusion composition with a left-to-right rectangle and bottom-revealing text using a background and merged nodes. Refine the animation in the spline editor with keyframes and smoothed curves.

Create a DaVinci Resolve fusion composition, build a red background, add a rectangle and a title, animate keyframes, duplicate the node for text, apply time offset, and smooth curves.

Learn to work with the 3D camera in Fusion by creating multiple 3D texts, adjusting perspective, applying color, linking to a merge 3D, and rendering with a background.

Create 3d shapes in Fusion by adding a shape, changing its type and radius, applying a texture from an Earth image, and animating lighting and camera for a dynamic render.

Convert videos and images into a 3-D space in Fusion, key out the green screen, and assemble them with image plane 3D and camera 3D to add depth of field.

Learn to create and control particles in DaVinci Resolve Fusion basics using a particle emitter and renderer, adjusting lifespan, frame timing, regions, color, and text or image overlays.

Learn to drive particle movement in fusion with point force, turbulence, and directional force to create a space-like scene using a star particle with adjustable lifespan.

Key green screen in DaVinci Resolve Fusion with 3D qualifier on color page; invert to isolate green, remove the rest, convert to alpha, and place over a solid color.

Replace a green screen with a background or image using color picker, threshold, and transform adjustments, then blend layers with a merge node and spill method to remove green cast.

Remove the black background with a luma key, resize the fire, and use a polygon mask to layer the fire behind the wood in the fire pit.

learn to track moving subjects in Fusion by adding a tracker, adjusting the area and pattern, and using automatic keyframes and displacement in the spline to drive text.

Master text tracking in DaVinci Resolve Fusion basics by adding trackers, attaching text to a moving subject, and restricting the effect to position and size.

apply planar tracker to track a road segment and attach a text node showing car speed with a corner pin, adjust keyframes to keep text anchored from frame 60 onward.

Learn to hide a hole in video by painting over it, using clone and paint tools, then track and connect the paint to the tracker to make the area disappear.

Create a fusion-based transition between two clips by animating two ellipses with a subtract blend, delaying using time speed and changing backgrounds to yellow, blue, and orange.

Track the green screen with a tracker, attach your footage, and resize to fit. Use a polygon mask and keyframes to remove the green and replace it with the footage.
