Global and Composition Preferences
The Preferences window is divided into a category sidebar on the left and the settings panel on
the right. In Fusion Studio, there are two levels of preferences: Global and Composition. The
Fusion page in DaVinci Resolve uses just a single Global preference that affects every project,
new and existing.
The Global preferences are used to set options specific to Fusion’s overall behavior as well as
defaults for each new composition. The Composition preferences in Fusion Studio can further
modify the currently open composition without affecting the Global preferences or any other
composition that is open but not displayed.
Categories of Preferences
The first entry in the Preferences sidebar is assigned to the Global preferences. Clicking the
Global and Default Settings disclosure arrow reveals the following sections.
Fusion Studio Global and Default settings
3D View
The 3D View preferences offer control over various parameters of the 3D Viewers, including
grids, default ambient light setup, and Stereoscopic views.
AVI (Windows Fusion Studio Only)
The AVI preferences configure the default compression options when creating AVI files from a
Saver node. These settings can be overridden on a case-by-case basis using the Format tab in
the Saver’s Inspector.
Defaults
The Defaults preferences are used to select default behavior for a variety of options, such as
animation, global range, timecode display, and automatic tool merging.
