In this video I do a complete walkthrough of the Paint node in DaVinci Resolve Fusion—how I actually use it for painting, cloning, masking, wire removal, and quick fixes. I start with the node structure (because yeah, Paint won’t even work if you don’t have a Background connected). I show two clean ways to set it up: either plug Paint straight after MediaIn, or my preferred method—Paint on a transparent Background and then Merge it over MediaIn. That second method gives me way more control because I can stack nodes like Transform/Glow that affect only the paint, but cloning needs a small workaround (set the clone source to MediaIn). Then I break down every viewer tool: Select, MultiStroke, Clone MultiStroke, Stroke, and Polyline Stroke. MultiStroke is lighter but mostly “set it before you draw,” while Stroke is heavier but fully editable and keyframe-friendly. Polyline Stroke is the real control freak option—vector points, insert/modify, close/open, smooth/sharpen, reduce points, publish/follow, and even Roto Assist to snap points to edges for masking. After that I go through brush types and Apply Controls (Color, Clone with overlay/still source/time offset, Emboss, Erase, Merge, Smear, Stamp, and Wire Removal), plus stroke animation modes like Write On/Off and Trails. I wrap with Circle/Rectangle tools, copy-clone shapes, Fill tool, and Paint Group for grouping strokes and keyframing them like a single unit.
