Getting Started with Fusion
To get started with Fusion, simply position your playhead over any clip on your timeline and
click on the ‘Fusion’ tab to open the Fusion page.
On the Fusion page, your clip is immediately available in a media input node labelled ‘MediaIn’.
Every composition will begin with a ‘mediain’ and a ‘mediaout’ node. This mediain node
represents the top most clip of your timeline at the playhead, and ignores any clips underneath.
Any adjustments you’ve applied to the clip on the edit page, such as transform tools and
cropping changes, are also included.
The media output node, named ‘MediaOut’, is the node that sends the output
back to your timeline on DaVinci Resolve’s edit page.
TIP ResolveFX or OFX plug-ins applied to clips in the cut or edit pages are not
applied in the Fusion page. This is because Fusion effects occur prior to color
correction and OFX/ResolveFX processing. If you want OFX applied before Fusion
effects, right click the clip in the edit page and select ‘new fusion clip’ before clicking
on the Fusion page.
Understanding Nodes
It can be helpful to think of each node as a visual icon representing a single tool or effect.
Nodes are connected to other nodes to build the overall composition, much like ingredients
inacake. It’s important to understand the inputs and outputs of each node as this will help you
navigate the flow of your composition while building detailed visual effects.
Some tools have multiple inputs and outputs you can connect to other nodes. The merge node,
for example, lets you attach a foreground input, background input, and a mask input for
mattes or keys.
