Having made this selection, right-click one of the selected nodes and choose Macro > Create
Macro from the contextual menu.
The Macro Editor displaying the parameters of all the nodes you selected.
The Macro Editor window appears, displaying a hierarchical list of every parameter in the
composition you’ve just selected. The order of nodes is based on the order they were selected
in the Node Editor prior to creating the macro.
The Macro Editor is designed to let you choose which parameters you want to display as
custom controls in the Edit page Inspector when the transition is applied.
For transitions, you can choose not to display any controls in the Inspector, allowing only
duration adjustments in the Timeline. However, you can choose a simplified set of parameters
for customization by enabling the checkboxes next to any parameter name.
Once you enable all the parameters you want to use in the eventual template, click the Close
button, and a Save Macro As dialog appears. Here, you can enter the name of the transition, as
it should appear in the Edit page Effects Library.
To have the transition template appear in the Effects Library > Fusion Transitions category of
DaVinci Resolve, save the macro in the following locations:
