Resourses to learn Macros in Fusion

Hello everyone, I'm looking to learn some advanced fusion Macros, like setting up user defined custom Labels and adding attributes to that group. (and also having multiple pages of such attributes), adding list box for item selections, adding page dividers etc.... Is there any online resource where I can learn such thing's, free or paid, both are fine. Any help will be appreciated.


Thanks
Aneel.

Best place to start - in fact probably the only place to start - is the We Suck Less forum. There's dozens of posts there discussing making macros, but start with this one:

Macro Building Essentials

Be aware that for most advanced functionality, you will have to make the changes in a text editor. Fusion's macro editor and Edit Controls UI are very basic, and can't handle many of the features that Fusion supports for macros and controls.

There's also this section from Bryan Ray's book: Blackmagic Fusion: Macros

You're welcome. There's plenty of other great threads on WSL, so do some searches and you'll find a ton of info. And make sure to read the full thread I linked, as some of the later posts go into more detail - including linking another tutorial post that goes into a lot of detail on custom controls. I'll link it here as well: How to deal with edges when using Sobel filter?
