Blackmagic Forum

Hi there,

This is the default place Fusion likes to save macros on my Mac:


But after saving, I can't find the macro anywhere in the effects panel on the Edit page for easy access:


Is there another place I should be looking for it? Or should I just be dragging the .settings file onto a new fusion composition in order to access it?

I've tried to answer my own question by reading a couple different threads on here, but can't figure it out.

Thanks in advance,
Kyle

If you want a macro to be accessible in the Edit page as an Effects Template, try placing the .setting file in the Templates folder hierarchy instead:

Code: Select all

/Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/Fusion/Templates/Edit/Effects/

Placing your .setting files into the "Macros" folder makes them accessible in the Fusion page's "Select Tool" (Shift+Spacebar) dialog.


The same "Macros" folder based content will also show up in a Fusion page Nodes view right-click based contextual "Add Tools" menu entry.

P.S. The Steakunderwater forum is likely a better platform to get detailed answers to macro creation, and scripting questions inside of Resolve/Fusion. This is where a lot of the scripting, and workflow automation Fusion users tend to hang out on the web.

Andrew you're a legend thank you for this thorough reply!
