This guide aims to introduce the fusion page of DaVinci Resolve for the purposes of creating custom titles, effects, and 3d compositions. We start off with a walkthrough of how you build out your effects with nodes and connectors on the fusion page and then lead in to several examples that beginners to intermediates can follow along to get some good results in the DaVinci Resolve video editor. You can follow along all of the tutorials with the free or pro version of Resolve.
Here are some key skills you can expect to learn
- What Fusion is and understanding how to use nodes to assemble highly customization effects
- Mask a blur effect with a shape by combining input / output data from multiple nodes.
- Create 3D title effects from scratch
- Adding particle effects to your videos such as snowfall and dissolving an image into thousands of particles.
- Tracking movement across a shot and using the data to place text on a moving object
- Export and import fusion compositions for reuse in other projects.
