If you bring an Adjustment Clip into fusion, it recognizes the adjustment clip in the MediaIn and you can add whatever modes you want afterward and if you hop back to the edit page you can slide that adjustment clip wherever and it will work correctly. Is there anywhere it's revealed how this is working mechanically? in the MediaIn it lists the Adjustment clip as the name but it has no unique media ID and if you have an adjustment clip saved to your Media Pool you can't drag it into fusion.

I've been diving into creating macros and custom generators for use on the edit page. Is there any way to save a macro that will reliably cite an adjustment layer in the MediaIn?

An Adjustment Clip lives on a given timeline, and Resolve connects to its MediaIn1 the composite of the timeline portion that is under the Adjustment Clip.

As a result I am almost certain there's no way to reference this in a macro. As you've found, there's no ID by which the adjustment clip can be referenced. The media linking is done automatically and behind the scenes.

You can't drag an Adjustment Clip into a Fusion comp because without a timeline, the Adjustment Clip does nothing.

You can however drag a whole timeline - or a Compound Clip - into a Fusion Clip, and it can then access that entire timeline as if it were a clip. So technically I think you could indirectly access the content of an Adjustment Clip, if you dragged the timeline that contained that Adjustment Clip into a Fusion composition.

However I don't think that helps you with regard to macros, because dragged-in Timeline clips will be referenced by their GUID, which is unique to the project they're in.

So I really can't think of a way you can do this. In fact I'm not aware of any way that macros can refer to media except by statically referencing them, eg with a Loader node? For example at one point I hoped I could make a macro that could access the content inside a Fusion Clip, and therefore be able to use multiple MediaIn nodes (one per layer inside the Fusion Clip), but that never worked.

you probably know that you can always drag the adjustment clip to a bin and reuse it.
