Animate using external data

PostTue May 25, 2021 10:19 am

Is it possible to animate graphics in Resolve based on external data, e.g. Excel file or .csv file ? I want to animate the graphics to synchronize with a video based on a data log file.

For those interested I want to animate dials showing speed and rpm of a car during a race and I want to animate dials showing depth and temperature during a SCUBA dive.

There are definitely some (workaroundish) options for this, mostly related to Fusion at the moment.
If you search for csv files or external data at the forum at www.steakunderwater.com you'll find some examples of people who have been working on this.

Thanks, I'll take a look.

Yes, it is possible. I started making a tutorial on this subject several months ago but haven't had time to finish it. I'm not sure if there is a user friendly Fuse for this. You'd use Lua or Python scripting in Fusion to set tool parameter values based on some external dataset.
