This is a simple round-trip operation that lets you send clips from the DaVinci Resolve timeline to Fusion or another application, where you’ll add effects and do whatever work needs to be done before rendering a finished effect file that, if properly named, will automatically appear back in your timeline. When you use VFX Connect with Blackmagic Fusion, a project file is automatically generated and the render path is automatically named for automatic linking from the DaVinci Resolve timeline. If you use this feature with third-party applications, you’ll need to set up the naming of your rendered effect file manually. For more information, see Chapter 63, “Introduction to Compositing in Fusion.”
The Fusion Page
The Fusion page is intended, eventually, to be a feature-complete integration of Blackmagic Design Fusion, a powerful 2D and 3D compositing application with over thirty years of evolution serving the film and broadcast industry, creating effects that have been seen in countless films and television series.
Merged right into DaVinci Resolve with a newly updated user interface, the Fusion page makes it possible to jump immediately from editing right into compositing, with no need to export media, relink files, or launch another application to get your work done. Everything you need now lives right inside DaVinci Resolve.
