Table Of Contents
The Fusion Hotkey Manager dialog is divided into two sections. The left is where you select the
functional area where you want to assign a keyboard shortcut. The right side displays the
keyboard shortcut if one exists. You can use the New button at the bottom of the dialog to add
a new keyboard shortcut.
For instance, if you want to add a shortcut for a specific node:
1 Open the Keyboard Hotkey Manager.
2 Select Views > Effect from the Target area of the Hotkey Manager.
3 Below the Key/Action area, click the New button to create a new keyboard shortcut
for the Node.
4 In the Edit Hotkey window, click the Tools disclosure arrow, and then select Blur to
display all the Blur-related nodes.
5 Select Glow in the Action panel.
6 At the top of the Edit Hotkey window, type G as the shortcut for the Glow node, and
then click OK.
7 Glow and the G hotkey will now appear in the Key/Action area on the right.
8 Click OK to close the Hotkey Manager.
9 Click in the Node Editor and press G to add a Glow node.
Undo and Redo
Undo and Redo commands let you back out of steps you’ve taken or commands you’ve
executed and reapply them if you change your mind. Fusion is capable of undoing the entire
history of things you’ve done since creating or opening a particular project. When you close a
project, its entire undo history is purged. The next time you begin work on a project, its undo
history starts anew.
There is no practical limit to the number of steps that are undoable (although there may be a
limit to what you can remember).
To simply undo or redo changes you’ve made one at a time:
Choose Edit > Undo (Command-Z) to undo the previous change.
Choose Edit > Redo (Shift-Command-Z) to redo to the next change.
Undo History in DaVinci Resolve.
When using the Fusion page in DaVinci Resolve, you can also undo several steps at a time
using the History submenu and window. At the time of this writing, this only works for multiple
undo steps in the Media, Cut, Edit, and Fairlight pages.
To undo and redo using the History submenu:
1 Open the Edit > History submenu, which shows (up to) the last 20 things you’ve done.
2 Choose an item on the list to undo back to that point. The most recent thing you’ve
done appears at the top of this list, and the change you’ve just made appears with a
check next to it. Steps that have been undone but that can still be redone remain in this
menu, so you can see what’s possible. However, if you’ve undone several changes at
once and then you make a new change, you cannot undo any more and those steps
disappear from the menu.
