Creating Fusion Templates
The integration of Fusion into DaVinci Resolve has enabled the ability to create Fusion Titles,
custom transitions, and Generators for use in the Edit page. You can create these templates in
the Fusion page or within Fusion Studio and then copy them into DaVinci Resolve. Fusion Titles,
Generators, and Transition templates are essentially comps created in Fusion but editable in the
Timeline of the Edit page with custom controls. This section shows you how it’s done.
Getting Started with a Fusion Title Template
The first part of creating a Fusion title template is to create a Fusion composition consisting of
Fusion-generated objects assembled to create nearly any kind of title or generator you can
imagine. If you’re really ambitious, it can include animation. In this example, 3D titles and 2D
titles have been combined into a show opener.

Saving a Title Macro
Macros are basically Fusion compositions that have been turned into self-contained nodes.
Ordinarily, these nodes are used as building blocks inside of Fusion so that you can turn
frequently-made compositing tricks that you use all the time into your own nodes. However, you
can also use this macro functionality to build title templates for the Edit page.
Having built your composition, select every single node you want to include in that template
except for the MediaIn and MediaOut nodes in DaVinci Resolve or Loader and Saver nodes in
Fusion Studio.
