Using Fusion Template Bundles

For ease in distributing templates to other Fusion users, multiple templates can now be bundled together into a single .drfx file. This file can then be imported back into another Fusion workstation easily to ensure that all custom templates are the same between computers.

Creating a Fusion Template Bundle requires using a specific directory structure and using your operating systems file browser and .zip compression utility. The directory structure is listed below, and you can always find a specific folder from within Fusion by right-clicking on any bin in the Effect Library and selecting Show Folder.

Folder structure for Templates used in the Edit page:

— Edit

— Effects

— Generators

— Titles

— Transitions

Folder structure for Templates used in the Fusion page:

— Fusion

To create a Fusion Template Bundle:

1 In your OS, create a folder structure above that includes the specific folder for the type of templates you want to be in the bundle. For example, if you have a transition and two effects templates, you would create an Edit folder, and two subfolders inside it named Transitions and Effects.

2 Copy your template (.setting) files into the appropriate directories. You can also include icon files and any associated assets as well.

3 Use your OS zip compression utility to create a .zip file of the directory structure.

4 Rename the .zip file in your OS with the “.drfx” extension instead of .zip. The file icon should change to reflect the new extension.

To import a Fusion Template Bundle:

1 Double-click on a .drfx file in your OS. DaVinci Resolve will launch and a dialogue box will appear asking if you want to install the template bundle.

2 Drag to the .drfx file from your OS directly into the Fusion page in DaVinci Resolve. A dialogue box will appear asking if you want to install the template bundle.

To delete a Fusion Template Bundle:

1 Navigate to the appropriate template directory in your file browser.

IMPORTANT: The Fusion Template Bundle contains all the templates in one file. It does not uncompress them into separate template files again. Therefore if you delete the .drfx file, all associated templates inside that bundle will be removed as well.
