Fusion Overlay Bug

Hi all, I recently upgraded to a new PC at work, and have been encountering multiple issues with Fusion in Davinci Resolve 19.

The first issue was not being able to open Fusion Compositions by right clicking them and selecting 'Open in Fusion Page'. It would simply open an empty Fusion Composition, even if there was only 1 clip in the entire timeline.

After some messing around I was able to get them to open by dragging an empty Fusion Comp above the desired Fusion Comp, opening that, backing out, and then opening the desired Fusion Comp, at which point it opened properly.

However, once I was able to open up a Fusion Comp properly, the real issues became apparent.

The control overlays for all the Tools within Fusion are completely bugged out. They either do not appear, are warped, or create visual artifacts. It also will not show paths or size handles for masks. Shapes, polygons, as well as the strokes for MagicMask are all entirely invisible. Transform and rotation controls appear half-formed, and glitch visually when used.

However, oddly enough if I activate the 'Overlay Fuse' LUT, all of these controls become visible, in a slightly glitchy way.

I set up a simple Fusion Comp to illustrate these issues:

The red rectangle is selected:


The blue polygon is selected:


The MagicMask is selected, after having applied a simple square stroke to the red square's general shape:


And this is what that same MagicMask looks like selected when I activate the 'Overlay Fuse' LUT.



And here is the red square selected when I activate the 'Overlay Fuse' LUT. As you can see the usual transform handles appear at its bounds:



That said, the MagicMask function within the Color Panel displays its overlay just fine, which is why I've specifically posted this within the Fusion help forum:




I've also included a video sample of using the transform control handles.

When researching a solution for this issue, I came across only 1 other person who encountered this back in 2023, and the thread had no responses or potential resolutions:

Solutions I've attempted:

- Running Resolve in Administrator Mode.
- Running Resolve in Compatibility Mode for Windows XP/7/8.
- Running Windows in Safe Mode.
- Uninstalling and reinstalling Resolve.
- Uninstalling and installing previous versions of Resolve, back to 16. The same issue occurs.
- Uninstalling and installing on a separate harddrive.
- Changing GPU drivers in NVidia app.
- Rolling back GPU drivers several versions within Windows.
- Resetting and relocating all caches within Resolve.
- Resetting the UI within Resolve.
- Creating a new project within Resolve.
- Changing color spaces, resolutions, framerates, etc, within Resolve.
- Changing color spaces, resolutions, refresh rates, etc, within Windows.
- Switching to a single monitor within Windows.
- Trying an entirely different monitor within Windows.
- Toggled just about every single preference and option available within Resolve.

My PC configuration:

OS: Microsoft Windows 11 Pro (10.0.22631) x64
CPU: AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7955WX, 4501Mhz 16Cores, 32 LP.
BIOS: LENOVO 50GKT23A
MOTHERBOARD: LENOVO 105E
RAM: 96GB DDR5
GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4500 Ada Gen 24GB VRAM


Would very much appreciate any input on this issue.

Thanks very much in advance!

Hello friends
The same problem with me in fusion studio. I need to zoom in to see the handle control of the control overlays.
and look for the viewer nothing apear right
Is there any solution?

I also have been having isues with the overlay UI elements in the viewers appearing corrupt.

I found that the latest NVIDIA drivers were corrupting the UI widget that lets you move and rotate objects in the viewer. I also noticed this when setting up a polygon mask. I also could not see the mask line and point ui as I tried to make one.
I tried reinstalling Fusion Studio 19.0.3 and also, removing the following folders to eliminate configuration issues. But the problem remained.
C:\ProgramData\Blackmagic Design\Fusion
C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Blackmagic Design\Fusion

In the end rolling back to NVIDIA driver 552.74 (from july) fixed the issue. But I have some other apps that are recommending the current driver. So hopefully this can be addressed (not sure if it is Black Magic or Nvidia that need to fix this)

The problem driver is
NVIDIA 566.03
It seemed like a good driver in all my other apps until I had to work in Fusion today. It is also worth noting that both Resolve 19 and Fusion 18 had the same UI corruption with this driver.

My workstation config is
Windows 11 Enterprise 23H2
Dual Nvidia A6000 Cards (pre ada)
AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5965WX 24-Cores 3.80 GHz
128 GB Ram

Figured out a workaround without having to roll back the driver. See my post here.
