Obfuscator for macros?

Hi. Can you please tell me if Davinci has an obfuscator for macros?

Afaik no. I suppose it relates to locked distribution to clients or selling tools?

What you probably want is actual encryption, because obfuscation as such (mangling names, collapsing nodegraph etc) is going to be just annoying, but not stopping anyone. You could probably create an annoyinator™ relatively easily by parsing the macro text and lets say collapsing all nodes to same location, changing their names to garbage (in all places where they are referenced) etc.

I've implemented something that the BMD developers still haven't implemented. I create and sell macros. I want to use this in my macros, but I want it to work only in my macros so that nobody else can use this in their macros. At least until the developers implement this.

I don't think you can somehow hook inbetween the macro loading code in Fusion, but I might be wrong, this is something worth asking in https://www.steakunderwater.com/wesuckless/ forum
