Adding overlays (like arrows, boxes) in the Edit page

PostTue Jan 19, 2021 11:45 am

** APOLOGIES FOR THE DUPLICATE POST - please look at the previous entry. **

i have just recorded a tutorial (for Blender) using OBS and now in Resolve, i need to add some arrows and boxes to highlight certain items in the interface shown in the video. i couldn't find anything in the Resolve Effects Library to help me and i ended spending a long time making an arrow in the Fusion page (thank you to Casey Faris for his tutorial on this). however, this feels very clunky and crude. i could create some vector graphics and bring them in, but then whenever i scaled them the stroke would look wrong. i think this has to be done natively inside Resolve.

therefore, i ask: is there a plugin or workflow or macro that can help me add these informational overlays quickly, easily and with enough control so that i can easily move, rotate and if necessary, animate such overlays in the Edit page?

thx, julian

The only thing I can think of is to make a vector version of your arrow and bring it in, then you can resize it to your heart’s content.

So fusion is the way forward indeed imho.
