Using Your New Generator Template
After you’ve saved your macro, you’ll need to quit and reopen DaVinci Resolve. When you open the
Effects Library on the Edit page, the new Generator template is listed in the Generators category, in
the Fusion Generators list.
Custom Fusion Generator saved in the Edit page Effects Library.
Applying this Generator to the Timeline and opening the Inspector shows the parameters you enabled
for editing, if any.
Creating a Fusion Effect Template
You start building a Fusion Effect template by bringing a clip from the Edit page Timeline into Fusion.
This clip is only used for creating the template and will not be saved with the effect.
Once inside Fusion, you use Fusion’s nodes to create the effect you want. You can use a single node
or a hundred, depending on the effect you want to create. For instance, using Fusion’s Color
Correction nodes, you can create a simple color corrector you can use on the Edit page.
To create a simple Color Corrector effect, do the following:
1 Insert the Color Corrector node between the MediaIn and MediaOut nodes.
2 Select the Color Corrector node in the Node Editor, and then press Cmd-A to select the
remaining nodes.
3 Right-click over any of the selected node and choose Macro > Create Macros from the contextual
menu. Enabling the checkboxes in this window determines the parameters that appear in the
Edit page Inspector.
4 The Macro Editor window opens. Here, you can enable the checkboxes for any parameters you
want to be shown in the Edit page Inspector.
5 Enter the name of your effect at the top of the Macro Editor window.
6 To save the Macro, click Close at the bottom of the window, then click Yes in the dialog that
appears asking you to save the changes.
The Macros must be saved into the correct folder for DaVinci Resolve to recognize the
Macro as an effect.
