Fusion 8.2.1 & 9 have a new Lua and Python based GUI building system called the fu.UIManager library. This library is used whenever you need to create your own custom graphical user interface in a Fusion based Lua or Python script.

The fu.UIManager allows you to add object oriented windows, buttons, text fields, sliders, tree list views, and controls that are accessible inside your script code. The new fu.UIManager library is QT window manger based and it is used to replace Fusion 7's older...

I wanted to post a few tidbits left over from a small experiment I started back on Aug 11, 2017, when I was first exploring UI Manager based GUI creation ideas and the wonders of .fu file hotkey definitions.

The PipePixelFont test explained below was something that I never really got back to finishing up to the level I had originally hoped to do so it was basically incomplete and stuck in limbo - and as such not posted on WSL for more than a year. The release of WSL Reactor v1 and v2 and so...

Hi. This thread will be the starting point for a new WSL tutorial series of posts that will hopefully get you started creating, editing, and releasing your own custom Fusion Macros. :cheer:

A macro is a plain text document that has the .setting file extension. It is built with the same general syntax as a Fusion .comp document but is cut down to just the elements of a few nodes and avoids the typical header data used in a full Fusion composite for things like the Fusion timeline and viewer...

Thank you very much for the help, all this is not as intuitive as the apple environment but i see it's much much more powerful (also a very nice pc costs half the price as a mac).

Last question then i'll have everything i need to build my custom titles (for now), is it possible to make versions of a node accessible in the macro editor? talking about this guys:

Right now i solved changing the to GroupOperator in a text edit tool, and then i can access everything from resolve in the fusion...

This forum will be about all the nice things you can do with Fusion's scripting and Fuse API, whether it's questions, expressions, snippets or finished scripts.

To get you started with scripting, it's highly recommended to take a look at vfxpedia:

Jump directly to Fusion's class hierarchy
Description of eyeonscript's Lua libraries
Specific information related to comp scripts , tool scripts or InTool scripts & expressions

By the way there is a Scripting Guide for fusion 8 on the main blackmagic ressources page.

Hello World.
Wanna visualize some stoopid data? Here you go...:-)

Here comes YAST (yet another se tool...:-))

As with many of my previous posts, this is something I've been working on (and working with) for some time now.
It's far from final, but evolved to a stage where I use it with confidence
and it might be useful for one or the other MoGraficker out there,
or maybe give some ideas on how to handle stuff.

Macros vs Fuses vs Scripting vs Simply using expressions?

Hi Folks! Thanks in advance for the support of this awesome community :)

I'm brand new to fusion having worked in Nuke for many years and now being a Resolve user I have sold my Nuke license and am poking around Fusion.

I am experimenting with a simple project to create a countdown leader and framing chart generator using expressions and scripting.

Ideally I would like to end up with something akin to a Nuke Gizmo in which the user could simply type in a few values or choose a few options...

Last post

Hi - try referring to it with .Value . Say you added a text control with the name NewControl , if you refer to it in your expression as NewControl.Value, then it should automatically convert it to numerical in your expression.

FuScript IDE for BBEdit (was: "Text editors that people like for mac that support LUA syntax highlighting")

Last post by AndrewHazelden « 2 days 7 hours ago

by natjencks » 3 days 41 minutes ago

First post

I know text editor preference is like religion, but what editors do people like for editing LUA code? I just downloaded ATOM, and installed the LUA language package but the syntax highlighting doesn't seem to be working. I'm sure there's an easy fix, but wondering what other options people use?

Last post

I got Atom working doing proper LUA syntax highlighting, I just needed to assign the .setting suffix to LUA language so it knew it was LUA

Hi natjencks

The BBEdit IDE tools I did for Fusion and Resolve were done as editable Apple Scripts that read the current document contents and then pass the filepaths to the Fusion FuScript CLI via Apple Script shell commands.

If you are into custom Atom.io tool creation it would not be too hard to remix the techniques as all the code used for BBEdit...

Fuses: Matrix4()

Last post by Midgardsormr « 4 days 1 hour ago

First post

Anyone have any experience with or insight into the Matrix4() and related functions in a Fuse? I'm trying to improve the Redshift Camera Extractor to enable it to handle 3DS Max's right-handed Z-up coordinate system. While I could probably brute-force a solution by doing the matrix multiplication myself like I did the first time around, I'd really prefer to get my head around the built-in matrix handling functions.

Right now, I'm just trying to get data into and out of a matrix.

If I do...

Last post

This is like trying to solve an invisible Rubik's Cube. I wound up writing some column major matrix manipulation functions of my own, but I still haven't quite solved the Fuse. If anyone's interested:

I think that's all correct, but I haven't done any real testing.

Setting loader to input footage length - newbie alert

First post

Hello all

I need to set all loaders of a comp to the footage lenght of image sequences from subfolders. As there are so many loaders and many identical comps I want to solve this via script. Unfortunately I am totally lost with scripting. Tried to read the beginners tuts and posts but it takes me ages just to get anything more complex than hello world to work. Maybe someone could help me out here?

What should be done:
- look for all loaders and set Global in/out to sequence image length...

Last post

Odd thing that the error said in line 7 when the syntax error was in line 6.
Not at all.
You were assigning v.GetAttrs( TOOLST_Clip_Name ) to the variable loaderPath .
Obviously the result was nil (which is still a valid state)
The error occured in line 7 when you tried to pull an index from a nil value...:-)

In terms of the index (and those always start at 1 in Lua), most (pretty much all) Controls in Fusion return a table, since they might be animated.
So an easier way would have been...

UI for a Macro

Hi everyone!

I'd like to create a macro for this:

I created one but the UI of it became messy. I used the checkboxes to make visible the parts of the tools, but how can I change the order of them? The comp's layout matter? There is a lot of parameters to work with inside the macro, how can I collapse/close them when they unused (like in 3D tools rotation parameters)? I hope I'm just skipped something, I'm not a big macro-maker :)

Thanks,
Gergo

Assigning a custom joined string as a reference to a tool input

Hi does anyone know how run or execute a string once it have been joined.

tool.Size = 1 works fine and my string is correct when I join them(print tested) but, it always returns nil or an error

So I have tool. as a string join it to a combobox current text, but then it doesn't work if = to the value

I have tried loadstring() not sure if that's the way to do it?

Last post

Thanks you, that works really well. I had a look through the other .lua file you linked and there is some really good resource there.
