A Background node determines the output resolution of the merge
The Background node sets the output size, and the foreground image is cropped if it is larger.
A Background node created at 1280 x 720 crops the larger foreground. However, all the pixels of the larger foreground are available for repositioning.
Sizing Between DaVinci Resolve Pages
The order of sizing operations between DaVinci Resolve pages is a bit more nuanced. It’s important to understand which sizing operations happen in the Fusion page, and which happen after, so you know which effects alter the image that’s input to the Fusion page, and which effects alter the page’s output. For example, lens correction, while not strictly sizing, is nonetheless an effect that changes
how the image begins in your Fusion composition. However, the Edit or Cut page stabilization function is an effect that comes after the Fusion page, so it does not appear in the composition you’re creating.

Sizing with Compound and Fusion Clips
Another way to modify the resolution before clips get handed off from the Edit page to the Fusion page is to create a compound clip or a Fusion clip. Both compound clips and Fusion clips change the working resolution of the individual clips to match the Timeline resolution. For instance, if two 4K clips are stacked one on top of the other in an HD timeline, creating a compound or Fusion clip resizes
