[SOLVED] fusion tab in davinci resolve studio
Posted: Sat Jan 23, 2021 4:00 pmtldr;
user error, can no longer reproduce.
hello all,
I have recently discovered something acting different in DR 17 and DR 16, not sure if it's the way I am doing it, or by design.
while working with DR 16, when I wanted to add some VFX to a clip, I would select the clip, click the fusion button at the bottom of the screen, and then add my VFX elements (gunshots, smoke, fire, etc), and everything would be displayed properly.
I loaded up my video in DR 17, and noticed I missed a visual element, so I did the same as before, selected the clip, clicked fusion and when I added my elements from my vfx library, and connected via a merge node, my vfx element is not visible in my media out. when I put my vfx element in my view window, nothing is displayed, it appears empty (sometimes black background, sometimes transparent). however all previous vfx elements that were added this way work perfectly, only new ones.
I go back to the edit screen and put the vfx element on the timeline and it displays properly, however in the fusion tab it does not.
I tried with previous projects and with new projects and found that my previous workflow:
1) add video clip to timeline
2) select video clip
3) click fusion
4) add vfx elements
no longer works. after much testing, I found the following works:
1) add video clip to timeline
2) right click video clip
3) select new fusion clip
5) click fusion
6) add vfx elements
I never had to "create a new fusion clip" to add vfx elements in DR 16.
since I was able to add VFX elements to a video clip without create a new fusion clip in DR 16 and not in 17, is it a bug in 17, or was my workflow not correct in 16?
also, as a side question, if I turn a video clip into a fusion clip (right click, new fusion clip) is there a way to revert this without CTRL-Z, say for example you convert to a fusion clip, close DR reload the project.
does any of this make sense?
thanx

EDIT
apparently it was user error, as it's working fine this AM. *scratches head*
