Blending between positions or values can be incredibly helpful if you’re animating or tracking something. Blackmagic Design Fusion already offers many ways of offsetting a track, but sometimes this isn’t enough. Let’s figure out how we can blend between Positions using the Expression Modifier. Lerp stands for linear interpolation. Most...Continue reading
Expressions in Fusion (DaVinci Resolve) are quite helpful. They can parent controls to each other, animate without keyframes, or automate your composition to some degree. But for many, they are this big enigma of misunderstanding. This blog post is more meant as a useful Expression collection but can also be...Continue reading
You will often use the painting tools in Fusion, to create masks, remove unwanted objects, or to create shapes for Motion Graphics. But there aren’t many brushes available from the start and sometimes you will need a brush like pencil strokes or spray paint. This is why it’s important to...Continue reading
Page 1 pCustom and pCustomForce are two very powerful tools in Blackmagic Design Fusion / DaVinci Resolve. Unfortunately they aren’t that well documented. This is why I decided to create a page dedicated to pCustom examples and use-cases. This should help you to achieve more with particle simulations in Fusion....Continue reading
In this tutorial, I will show you how to use Change Strings to quickly change several Filepaths and Filenames in several Loaders and Savers at the same time. This will be a huge time saver and spare you a lot of work. First, you will need to download Change Strings...Continue reading
Keeping nodes organized is vital to efficiently working in Blackmagicdesign Fusion or DaVinci Resolve. But unfortunately, Fusions naming behavior when copying nodes or tools can be annoying. Instead of counting upwards (like other 3D, VFX, or Motion Graphics Applications), Fusion will append a “_1” behind the original name. In this...Continue reading
A question I see asked a lot in Forums is, how to animate opacity in Fusion. Especially After Effects users often find themselves confused since there is no Opacity or Transparency slider for each layer, or in Fusions case, Node branch. Thankfully it’s quite easy and here are 3 different...Continue reading
Scripts are a great way of automating tasks. Most professional applications that are used to create content, support them in one way or another. This of course includes Blackmagicdesign Fusion Standalone and DaVinci Resolve. Both applications support both Lua and Python Scripting. Coincidentally, I have recently released my very first...Continue reading
Page 1 Foreword Hi, I’m Noah and today we will be creating animations like this 100% inside of Fusion. While this tutorial is quite long, all individual parts of this animation are very simple and easy to understand. On our way to rendering, we will be learning how to create...Continue reading
Page 1/2 If you’ve been on my homepage, you might have seen the animation below the main header, encouraging you to scroll down. You can even click on it and the website scrolls down for you. Creating that icon took me around 20 minutes and I thought to myself: This...Continue reading
