In this video I’m showing you three different ways to create a Fusion composition inside DaVinci Resolve, and I’m not just listing them—I’m breaking down the pros and cons so you don’t get stuck later when you start keyframing or doing time-based effects. The first method is the most basic: just put your playhead on the clip in the Edit tab and jump to Fusion (or select the clip in Fusion). It’s quick, but your comp resolution becomes the clip resolution (not timeline), the starting frame number isn’t zero, and your comp duration is limited to the clip—so copying keyframes and doing clean timing work becomes painful. The second method is converting a clip into a “New Fusion Clip.” This fixes two big issues from the first method: the Fusion comp starts at frame 0 (keyframing becomes sane), and the comp resolution matches your timeline. It’s also great if you want multiple footage sources inside one Fusion clip—just remember: if you select multiple clips on the same track, only the first one comes in, so stack them on separate tracks. The third method is the most “work,” but it’s the one that solves the duration limitation: use a Fusion Adjustment Layer, then pull footage in from the Media Pool using MediaIn and trim it in the Inspector. The only downside is the comp resolution follows the media, not the timeline—but that’s fixable with the right setup.
