Saving a Macro as a Title Template in the Edit Page (DaVinci Resolve)
When using DaVinci Resolve, macros are available only in the Fusion page. However, if the macro is a title animation, you can save it to the Titles Templates folder and have it appear in the Edit page Effects Library.
To save a title macro so it appears in the Edit page Effects Library, save the macro to:
— macOS: Users > UserName > Library > Application Support > Blackmagic Design > DaVinci Resolve > Fusion > Templates > Edit > Titles
— Windows: C Drive > Users > UserName > AppData > Roaming > Blackmagic Design > DaVinci Resolve > Support > Fusion > Templates > Edit > Titles
The Final Macro
The final macro looks and behaves just like any other node in Fusion.
As another example, you could take a single Channel Boolean, set it to Add mode, and make it into a macro exposing no controls at all, thus creating the equivalent of an Add Mix node like the one that can be found in programs like Nuke.
