User Manual

 Show Controls for Selected: When this option is disabled, only the active tool’s
parameters are shown in the Inspector. By default, it is enabled, showing controls for
the active tool as well as all selected tools.
 Combined Color Wheel: When the Color Corrector tool is displayed in the Inspector,
enabling this checkbox will show one color wheel with buttons to switch between the
master, shadow, midtones, and highlight channels. Otherwise, four color wheels are
displayed in the Inspector.
 Gamma Aware Color Controls: This setting adjusts color correction nodes when
working with Rec709 images in a non-color managed project. Rec 709 images appear
correct on the computer monitor because monitors have a gamma adjustment built in.
When working in the Rec 709 color space without color management, enabling Gamma
Aware color removes the gamma, applies the color correction as if it where linear, and
then reapplies the gamma. For Rec 709 images, enable the Gamma Aware setting and
enter a Gamma value of 2.4. In a color managed linear project, this should be set to Off
or a value of 1.0. When dealing with mixed color spaces, Fusion reads the metadata
from the image and sets the Aware gamma value based on the metadata available.
–
The option is there so it can be set for projects, so a 709 project would be on at 2.4,
and a linear project would be off or set to 1.0
–
Fusion will read the metadata from the image and set the Aware gamma in a mixed-
image comp.
–
Recommended? Probably, yes (Pro tip).
 Grab Distance: This slider ranges from 1 to 10 and defaults to 5. It designates the active
area around the mouse pointer and can be modified if you have difficulties in selecting
points for modification in paths and spline curves. Smaller values will require a more
accurate selection with the mouse pointer.
Touch Scrolling and Mouse Wheel
This group of settings allows you to configure which, if any, keyboard modifiers are needed to
pan or zoom a panel when using a trackpad or middle mouse wheel.
Video Monitoring
This setting is only available in Fusion Studio. Control over video hardware for the Fusion Page
is done in the DaVinci Resolve preferences. The Video Monitoring preferences are used to
configure the settings of Blackmagic Design capture and playback products such as DeckLink
PCIe cards and UltraStudio i/O units.
