Reuse Fusion Lower Third with Graphic

PostThu Aug 05, 2021 8:19 pm

I have created a handful of animated lower thirds which I want to use across projects. These lower thirds include images (Company logo's, IG logo, subscribe buttons, thumbs up pic, etc) which don't seem to save over when I try to save as macro/Titles. all i get are the background and text with the animations, but none of the pictures. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I don't need this to be a macro but would need for whatever the output is to be an overlay on a video, meaning a transparent background besides the lower third animation.

I've been told MediaIn nodes cannot be used across projects which is why my images fall off...not sure what other node to use if not MediaIn.

Try using a Loader node for images instead of the MediaIn node.

just tried using a Loader node and i'm getting a bunch of issues. First, my loader node and merge nodes are blinking green and I don't know what that means. Second, it seems the fusion composition continues to buffer and never fully loads.

I would assume what i'm trying to do is fairly common considering most You Tube channels have some kind of branded lower third that they use in all of their videos. There must be a way to use these fusion compositions across projects without having to relink all of the images every time I want to reuse. Thoughts?

Check out this tutorial for how to make a re-usable Template that you can design in Fusion and then in future drag onto any Edit timeline - including with media:


This video covers the new changes in 17.2 that allow you to more easily add media to a Fusion Template. For further details on making and using Fusion Templates in general, he has another tutorial (there will be a link in this video to the earlier tutorial).
