Macro text turns red when added to viewer

PostTue Mar 12, 2019 6:48 pm

Trying for days to make a simple macro. Days and Days!!
Frustration is at max capacity!
Addind the Macro into Fusion looks fine but as soon as I hit 1 or 2 keys to put it in a viewer the macros node text turns red and nothing in viewer.

Do these macros actually NOT WORK? is it just a hopefully someday thing?

Macros work, I've made more than a few. Try making the simplest macro you can think of and see if you can get it to work.

Paste your macro here (copy it from the Flow view and paste between [code] [/code] tags) so we can take a look.

I don't think it gets any simpler than what I'm trying. a logo over black with a copyright line of white text below.

The "Flow" is the area of Fusion where you place and work with the nodes. If you select all the nodes in the Flow area and copy them, you can come to this forum and paste them here by using the Code button above the text box.

It might also help if you could list what steps you are using to create the macro, to see if maybe you are leaving out a step.
