Methods of adding nodes by clicking in the Effects Library:
To add a node after a selected node: Select a node in the Node Editor and then click a
node in the browser of the Effects Library.
To add a disconnected node to the Node Editor: Deselect all nodes in the Node Editor
and then click a node in the browser of the Effects Library.
Methods of adding nodes by dragging from the Effects Library:
To insert a new node into the node tree: Drag a node from the browser of the Effects
Library into the Node Editor and onto the connection line between any two compatible
nodes. When the connection highlights as the node is over it, drop the node and it’ll be
inserted.
To create a disconnected node: Drag a node from the browser of the Effects Library
into an empty part of the Node Editor. Dragging a toolbar button into the Inspector also
creates a disconnected node.
To insert a new node after a node loaded into a viewer: Drag a node from the browser
of the Effects Library onto a viewer to insert a new node after whichever node is
viewed, regardless of whether any nodes are selected.
To replace a node in the Node Editor with a node from the Effects Library:
1 Drag a node from the browser of the Effects Library so it’s directly over the node in the
Node Editor that you want replaced. When that node is highlighted, drop it.
2 Click OK in the dialog to confirm the replacement.
Adding, Inserting, and Replacing Templates Using the Eects Library
Adding items from DaVinci Resolve’s Fusion page Templates category is often a bit different.
Sometimes, as when adding a Lens Flare, a single node can be added or inserted into the
Node Editor. When this is the case, adding nodes works the same as when adding from the
Tools category.
Adding a Lens Flare effect.
Other times, such as when adding an item from the “How to” category, dragging a single item
from the Node Editor results in a whole node tree being added to the Node Editor. Fortunately,
all nodes of the incoming node tree are automatically selected when you do this, so it’s easy to
drag the entire node tree to another location in the Node Editor where there’s more room.
When this happens, the nodes of the incoming effect are exposed so you can reconnect and
reconfigure it as necessary to integrate the effect with the rest of your composition.
