Now, let’s say you wanted to save this color vignette, created with these two tools, as a reuseable effect.
In the Inspector, click Invert, and adjust the Soft Edge, Border Width, and Width/Height to taste. With the Color Corrector Tool selected, click the Rectangle tool on the Toolbar. We’re going to limit the color effect to the edge of the clip to create a stylized vignette. In the Inspector, we’re going to drag the Color Wheel towards orange to tint the clip. This adds the Color Corrector between the two current nodes (Tools). With “Guy on Bike” selected, click on Color Corrector from the Toolbar. Just like naming layers in After Effects, naming nodes helps with organization, especially when you start making more complex flows. Select MediaIn1 and right-click to rename it “Guy on Bike” or press F2. We’ll be using the Smiling Man with Bike clip from Motion Array for this demo. We will create the macro using a Color Corrector and a Rectangle Mask tools. Let’s create a colored vignette that we can quickly reuse whenever we need it. Part 2: Working with Macros in DaVinci Resolve 1. When you want to insert a macro between the input and output, select the MediaIn node and add the macro.īelow we’ll create a simple macro, so you see how this works, and if you want to learn more about Fusion first then take a look at this crash course. This line has to be connected to be output from the Fusion page. The basics to understand in Fusion is that you have a MediaIn node connected to MediaOut by a connected line. Fusion especially calls nodes tools, and you create a flow by combining multiple tools.
Generally, each node does one thing, so if you want to change the size, color, and blur the footage, you would use a different node for each part. Unlike After Effects which use layers, Fusion uses nodes, which you connect to like a flow chart. The Fusion page lets you work on compositing and motion graphics, all without leaving DaVinci Resolve 16.
