In this video I’m showing you the real difference between Stroke and MultiStroke inside the Paint node in DaVinci Resolve Fusion. A lot of people think they’re the same thing, but the workflow is totally different depending on what you’re trying to do. I break it down in a simple way—what you can edit, what you can animate, and what’s going to hit your system harder when you start drawing a lot. First, Stroke is flexible: after you draw, I can still change basically every parameter, and if I switch the stroke type to something like Polyline Stroke, I can even tweak the shape/lines I already drew. MultiStroke is the opposite—once you draw it, you can’t really go back and edit those parameters. Second, animation: I can keyframe Stroke and animate it however I like, but MultiStroke can’t be animated with keyframes. Third, performance: MultiStroke is less processor intensive, so it’s safer for heavy drawing, while Stroke can get your system hanging as the number of strokes increases. And finally, duration: MultiStroke is one-frame by default (unless you set stroke duration/frames before drawing), while Stroke shows across the comp by default and I can limit its duration even after drawing. My takeaway: if you’re using MultiStroke, have a plan, because you won’t be able to “fix it later.”
