 Drag clips from the Media Pool into the Node Editor, creating a MediaIn node in the
Node Editor.
 Drag clips from an OS window directly into the Node Editor, creating a MediaIn node in
the Node Editor.
 Choose Fusion > Import> PSD when importing PSD files into the Node Editor. Each PSD
layer is imported as a separate MediaIn node.
NOTE: Although a MediaIn tool is located in the I/O section of the Effects Library, it is
not used as a method to import clips.
When clips are brought in from the Media Pool, dragged from the OS window, or via the Import
PSD menu option, you can use the MediaIn node’s Inspector for trimming, looping, and
extending the footage, as well as setting the source’s color and gamma space.
Inputs
The single input on the MediaIn node is for an effect mask to crop the image brought in by
the MediaIn.
–
Effect Mask: The blue input is for a mask shape created by polylines, basic primitive
shapes, paint strokes, or bitmaps from other tools. Connecting a mask to this input
limits the source image to appear only within the mask. An effects mask is applied to
the tool after the tool is processed.
Basic Node Setup
The MediaIn node is typically the starting point for all composites done in the Fusion page of
DaVinci Resolve. It contains the clip from the Edit page or Cut page. Any clip brought in from the
Media Pool is also added as a MediaIn node.
Two MediaIn nodes: one from the Edit page Timeline and one from the Media Pool
