Editing Effects Using the Full Screen Viewer

Because the Open FX panel can often be too short to present the full controls of more complicated filters, it remains visible when you switch to the Full Screen Viewer mode in the Color page. Jump into this mode by choosing Workspace > Viewer Mode > Full Screen Viewer (Shift-F).

This control layout makes it considerably easier to do detailed work while viewing a larger image and having all of your effects visible in a taller panel off to the side.

Resolve FX and Open FX Onscreen Controls

In the Edit page, Fusion page, and Color page, Resolve FX and Open FX display on-screen controls that you can use to visually edit an effect. In the Edit and Color pages, selecting an Open FX plugin node or a plugin in the Inspector that has onscreen controls automatically changes the Viewer’s mode to Open FX Overlay mode, with the available controls ready to use. Different plugins expose different custom controls, letting you control the effect or manipulate the image, depending on that plugin’s function.
