How To Have Curved Corners?

PostThu Aug 13, 2020 10:04 pm

Hello! I use Davinci Resolve 15, the free version & I was wondering in fusion can I curve the corners of a rectangle mask. I'd like to have curved text boxes without having to manually draw a mask!

Hi, not sure about 15 (never used it), but in 16 there is a slider down the bottom of the rectangle mask inspector panel which will round your rectangle mask. Not at my seat at the moment but you will find it very easily. Cheers,

The settings for that are right in the rectangle mask. I can't recall what those controls are called from the top of my head (not at my Fusion computer right now) but it's near the width and height sliders.
Check out the manual and you will find what you're looking for.

Thank you so much! I can't believe I'm just now seeing that after 2 years almost of using Davinci Resolve!

The Corner Radius for the Mask tool will round the corners for you.
My Biases:

You NEED training.
You NEED a desktop.
You NEED a calibrated (non-computer) display.

I a rectangle: is it possible to have only 2 corners rounded instead all 4?

In this moment I do a turn around: 2 overlapped rectangles: one with Rounded Corners, the other one not.
But If it's possible to round corners separately also, ti will be easier.

At the moment this isn't possible as far as I know.

The way that I'd do this would be to use a Polyline node feeding into the Garbage Matte input of a Matte Control node. You can draw a polyline with two sharp corners and two rounded corners to create the kind of mask you're looking for.

I would use a Polygon, right-click and choose Polyline>Create>Rectangle. Then I would add a couple of points on either side of the corner I want rounded and then select the points and choose Smooth. You can then adjust them to make the corner rounded as you want.
