Fusion Deltakeyer dropper not working

PostWed Nov 02, 2022 12:24 pm

Hi,
I have the latest version of Resolve Studio installed and am venturing in to the realms of Fusion. I have a little project which I wanted to try Deltakeyer on. I have read the relevant part of the manual and followed the guidance. I have a foreground clip, a background and, from the Edit page have created a Fusion clip. Moving to the Fusion tab I see my two media inputs and the media out. I have added a Deltakeyer node to the Foreground clip and, following the manual, chosen the eyedropper tool in the Inspector. When I move to the Foreground screen the cursor remains as an arrow and not an eyedropper. This is not as described in the manual (which by the way has a different layout to the Resolve 18 screen I am seeing). Am I doing something wrong?

Do you have the delta keyer node selected for view in one of the two windows (select delta keyer node and hit 1 on the keyboard to show it in the first window, etc.). I haven't tried this for a while so maybe I'm forgetting some thing like holding down the option (alt) key when picking, lol - sorry.

Yes, it makes no difference.

Tried it on my Mac - works as expected. Doesn't help but interesting to note. Maybe others on a PC will chime-in with their experience. Some additional info from you might help. For example, are you working in a color managed environment?

Click and drag eyedropper in Fusion Page / Delta Keyer is working as expected on my PC (which is running Resolve v17.4.3).

I am having the same problem where the eyedropper stops working on Deltakeyer.

If I double-click on the color swatch and use the "Pick Screen Color" button in the Color dialog, I am able to pick a single point.

for me, this is the key. I clicked on eyedropper tool and expected my mouse pointer to change to eyedropper icon but nothing happened. I click and dragged the eyedropper tool to my viewer and then it works as expected

Figured this one out finally. Drag the eyedropper.
