VFX Connect

For instances where the various effects of the Edit, Fusion, and Color page aren’t enough to achieve the effect you require, you can use the VFX Connect feature of DaVinci Resolve to send one or more clips from the Edit page timeline to the standalone version of Blackmagic Fusion, in order to do more robust compositing and effects work there.

You can use this workflow in the macOS, Windows, and Linux versions of DaVinci Resolve, since Fusion works on all three platforms.

This is a simple round-trip operation that lets you send clips from the DaVinci Resolve Timeline to Fusion, add effects, and then render a finished effect out of Fusion that will automatically appear back in your timeline.
