Clip not visible in fusion page!

Looked everywhere and can't find the answer to this, hopefully someone can help me here:

When i want to take any video clip from the edit page to the fusion page it will show up blank in fusion, like in the pictures below:

I know Davinci Resolve has made a couple changes since the last update so i'm wondering if this is one of them or if it is just glitching out.

What happens if you drag the mediain to the viewer? Does it show anything then?
The white dot on the mediaout points to Fusion using the 2nd viewer, but there's only one in your screenshot. If you select Mediaout and press the 1 key, does the image show up then?

The name of the viewed tool should appear in the bar at the top of the Viewer. Since it doesn't say anything up there, that means that Viewer is empty, and it is thus Viewer1.

edit: Or a script crashed while the comp was locked. In the Console, the command comp:Unlock() clears that state, but you have to do it once for every time the script crashed.

Switching the Mediain's viewers doesn't do anything, it stays blank. I also tried reimporting the clip and working on another project and trying fusion there and still blank.

Closer look then… According to the MediaIn trim controls, this clip is 105 frames long. Your playhead is at frame 945 (4252 minus the start time of 3307). So at the point of your screenshot, the clip is over. I'm not sure why that happened—usually the comp is trimmed to the length of whatever was on the timeline, I think. But I seldom open Resolve, so I couldn't say for sure on that.

In any case, my guess is that if you move your playhead within 104 frames of the start of the comp, or tick the Loop checkbox, you'll get an image.

Ahhh Bryan, I thought we almost had it there! but no....

The nodes just turn red...

Then I'm stymied. I'll let somebody who actually knows anything at all about Resolve try to help.

If you look at the Clip Name under MediaIn1 in the Inspector, it says "Fusion Composition", it should say the name of the clip. I would try right-clicking on the clip in the timeline and choosing "Open in Fusion Page" and see if that changes anything.

Try Right click > Create Fusion Clip from the video in the timeline.

Also, you can try re-dragging the video file onto the node graph to replace the existing MediaIn1. I've had some problems with tha recently, but restarting Resolve usually fixes it..

I am new to the forum and am having the same problem: no matter what I do, including following the recommendations others have provided to people who experienced the same problem, I cannot get anything but black in my Fusion viewers. I see my clips in the clips section at the bottom of the Fusion page and in the Fusion media pool, and the red bar is over a clip in the edit page. The clip also shows up in the color page and in Fairlight. Clicking on MediaIn1 and MediaOut1 doesn't help, nor does typing 1 or 2. If I click the play button in the transport section and then drag the red bar in the frame window, I can hear the audio.

I recall that when I first downloaded Davinci Resolve on my computer (I think it was in 2020 and I think it was Resolve 16 or one of the early versions of 17), I was able to see video in the Fusion windows. At some point -- perhaps after an update -- that was no longer the case. At the time I rarely used Fusion, but now I'd really like to start learning it in more depth and using it more.

I've got an iMac (Retina 4k, 21.5 inch, 2019) running Monterey 12.5
3.2 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7
32 GB 27667 MHz DDR4
Radeon Pro 560X 4GB

In my settings, Fusion memory cache is set to 18GB, GPU processing mode is set to Auto, GPU selection is set to Auto. (Changing these settings to Metal or to OpenCL has not made any difference.)

Thanks so much to whoever has any ideas for me! Much appreciated.

This might solve the problem:
– In Fusion tab, navigate to Keyframes panel.
– Look through the stack of nodes and the corresponding keyframe bars on the right. One of them might be missing.
– If that's the case, right click on that node name (still in the Keyframes panel), and in the context menu choose Settings > Load Default. You should now see your composition.

Thanks, Max. Unfortunately no luck. I used to be able to hear the audio when I hit PLAY; now nothing whatsoever happens (perhaps since I moved to Resolve 18?). No audio, no movement in the position indicator bars. It's like nothing is loaded in. I do see my media pool and I do see the clips that are in the timeline at the bottom of the monitor screen, but nothing in the viewers. Any other ideas????

I should have added that if I make random adjustments to a clip in Fusion (blur, etc.), even though I see nothing in the Fusion viewers, the results do show up when I return to the Edit page.

The nodes just turn red...

When the node names turn and stay red like that it usually indicates an error while processing them.

Have you checked Workspace -> Console to see if any potentially relevant messages have been posted?

I ran into the same problems and solved them by using After Effects.
Fusion is designed to drive you mad, while After Effects seems to be focused on getting results intuitively and fast. But yeah, that it's an Adobe product boggles the mind.

If you notice any of your node is red, Go to workspace and check console you would find the error there.

Hope it helps

Although this post is from long ago, it describes the EXACT SAME ISSUE that I have been trying to solve for many many months now, possibly close to a YEAR! I just purchased the Studio version and thought all my problems be gone, but not the case.

For the first year using the free version, all worked perfectly. One day, for some reason, I was suddenly not able to edit new fusion clips, or create any from edit. (I could create them, just not VIEW THEM is Fusion)

I can make changes to the node structure, go back into edit, and see the results after it caches, but Fusion REFUSES to cooperate. I may start a new thread about this, but perhaps somebody has already discovered a solution?

It's probably a good idea to start a new thread, since most people will read a first post first and if that's not the exact issue you're having, you'll probably get better responses if you start afresh.

Any updates for this issue. I have same problem.
