Step-by-step Guide

To create and use a Fusion Composition in DaVinci Resolve, follow these steps:

First, open DaVinci Resolve and select the Edit Page. To navigate, go to the bottom menu and click on the "Edit" option. This is the workspace where all video and audio elements are edited.

Drag the Fusion Composition into your timeline by clicking on it with the left mouse button held down and dragging it to the desired position in the timeline. When placing the Fusion Composition, you will see that it is treated like a regular clip that you can edit.

To start editing the Fusion Composition, right-click on the clip in the timeline. Choose the "Open in Fusion Page" option. You will be automatically redirected to the Fusion Page, where you have a variety of creative options to design your animations.

In the Fusion Page, you can add various elements such as text animations, colored shapes, or more elaborate animations. The Fusion Page offers a comprehensive set of tools to create complex visual effects.

One advantage of using Fusion Composition is that you can save created animations in Powerbins. This feature provides significant benefits as it allows you to reuse animations, including your Fusion Compositions, in other projects. To access the Powerbins, go to the menu at the top and enable the "View" option, then "Powerbins".

If you do not see the Powerbins, simply click on "Show Powerbins". A new section will then become visible in your project where you can store animations, including your Fusion Compositions.

To save an animated Fusion Composition, simply drag it into a new bin using Drag & Drop, which you can create with a right-click. Give the bin an appropriate name so that you can easily access it later.

If you need your Fusion Composition in another project, simply open the Powerbins and drag the desired Fusion Composition into your new timeline. This way, you can maintain your creative visuals across different projects.
