ResolveScript: [Bug] Timeline:InsertFunctions not work

Version:
17.4.3

Issue:
The following functions not work.

Timeline:InsertGeneratorIntoTimeline(generatorName) --> TimelineItem
Timeline:InsertFusionGeneratorIntoTimeline(generatorName) --> TimelineItem
Timeline:InsertOFXGeneratorIntoTimeline(generatorName) --> TimelineItem
Timeline:InsertTitleIntoTimeline(titleName) --> TimelineItem
Timeline:InsertFusionTitleIntoTimeline(titleName) --> TimelineItem

Only InsertFusionTitleIntoTimeline works in a limited way.
Please see the following code for details.



Code: Select all

local timeline = resolve:GetProjectManager():GetCurrentProject():GetCurrentTimeline()
-- Only 'Title+' or 'TextPlus' will run successfully.
timeline:InsertFusionTitleIntoTimeline('TextPlus')

-- Returns nil for everything except 'Title+'. 'Zipper'is build-in FusionCompositionName
timeline:InsertFusionTitleIntoTimeline('Zipper')


Request:
Make it work with a specific name.

• standard template name (build-in)
• custom template file name (**/DaVinci Resolve/Fusion/Templates/Edit/**/*.setting)

I know you are busy, but please check it out.
Thank you very much for your cooperation.

Here are all my findings on this. Some do work, but most don't. I tested in Resolve Studio v17.4.3 Build 10 on macOS 12.2.
