User Manual

To slide the clip in time or align it to other clips without changing its length, place the
mouse pointer in the middle of the range control and drag it to the new location, or
enter the value manually in the Global In value control.
If the Global In and Out values are decreased to the point where the range between
the In and Out values is smaller than the n number of available frames in the clip, Fusion
automatically trims the clip by adjusting the Clip Time range control. If the Global In/Out
values are increased to the point where the range between the In and Out values is
larger than the number of available frames in the clip, Fusion automatically lengthens
the clip by adjusting the Hold First/Last Frame controls. Extended frames are visually
represented in the range control by changing the color of the held frames to purple in
the control.
 Trim: The Trim range control is used to trim frames from the start or end of a clip. Adjust
the Trim In to remove frames from the start and set Trim Out to specify the last frame
of the clip. The values used here are offsets. A value of 5 in Trim In would use the 5th
frame in the sequence as the start, ignoring the first four frames. A Trim Out value of 95
would stop loading frames after the 95th.
 Hold First Frame/Hold Last Frame: The Hold First Frame and Hold Last Frame controls
will hold the first or last frame of the clip for the specified amount of frames. Held
frames are included in a loop if the footage is looped.
 Reverse: Select this checkbox to reverse the footage so that the last frame is played
first and the first frame is played last.
 Loop: Select this checkbox to loop the footage until the end of the project. Any
lengthening of the clip using Hold First/Last Frame or shortening using Trim In/Out is
included in the looped clip.
Using Loader and Saver Nodes
in the Fusion Page
The Loader and Saver nodes in Fusion Page are specifically used for workflows that center
around multi-channel EXR files. OpenEXR media can contain high-quality floating-point image
data, multiple matte channels, as well as auxiliary channels rendered from 3D software. The
Loader node lets you add OpenEXR files to a composition directly from the file system,
retaining all the channels that are embedded within that file. Saver nodes enable you to render
either all or part of a composition as EXR files directly to disk, bypassing the DaVinci Resolve
Deliver page.
To import a multi-channel EXR image sequence into the Fusion page:
1 Open the Fusion page.
2 Open the Effects Library, and select the Tools > I/O category, and click the
Loader node.
3 In the OS navigation window that opens, select the EXR image sequence you want to
import, and click Open.
4 A Loader node linked to the EXR file will appear in the Fusion page, although a clip will
not appear in the Media Pool.
