How to think out a Fusion Composition

If you watched every Resolve video there is and still haven't figured out which node to use when in your Fusion compositions, you've come to the right place.

In this course, you will learn how to work your way backward, from the final result you want to get to the nodes that make up a Fusion composition. After you complete this course, you will know how to put together a node tree to get the results you want.

In this course, we will put together a Dynamic Lower Third. Along the way, you will conduct two experiments to find out how certain parameters in the Inspector Panel affect the Rectangle node. Additionally, at the end of the course, I will pose a challenge; I want you to create a Video Title on your own using your newly acquired knowledge. The combinations of the experiments, the Lower Third we will put together, and the Video Title you will prepare on your own will give you the confidence to incorporate Fusion compositions in your everyday work.

So join me in this journey as we make use of the Background node, the Rectangle mask node, the Merge, and the Transform nodes to bring to life a dynamic lower third.

You will be able to use the methodology covered in this class in DaVinci Resolve versions 15, 16, and 17.
