Blackmagic Fusion and Davinci Resolve – advanced Text Scramble (free download!)

Blackmagic Fusion and Davinci Resolve – advanced Text Scramble (free download!)

Hey all – some new free goodies: a custom text scrambler (text+ node with a bunch of additional fields and expressions). This allows you to do a lot more than the build-in Textscramble modifier. Note that if you don’t have the required fonts installed, the comps will throw up an error. I’m making use of:
– Consolas
– Courier New
– LCD 14

LCD 14 can be downloaded here:
http://www.1001fonts.com/lcd-font.html

In general, one main tip is to use a Monospaced font!!

Davinci Resolve 15 (/Fusion) – Posterize Time Tutorial

Davinci Resolve 15 (/Fusion) – Posterize Time Tutorial

So…. Trying out something new. With the integration of Fusion into Resolve, I thought (as did many others so it seems…) it would be interesting to do some more basic effects, especially ones that could be of interest to video editors. In this tutorial, I’m basically walking you through a basic Posterize Time/Strobing type effect. Of course, this *was* possible in Resolve, but only in a roundabout way or with the help of 3rd party plugins. In this tutorial, we’ll make use of the Fusion Timestretcher node, which makes it very easy indeed.

I then proceed by adding some grungy text elements, doing some tracking, and presto…done.

Have a look at the tutorial below. However, if you’re in a hurry, the summary of the posterize time effect is:

Add a Timestretcher node inbetween media in and out. Right click the Source Time element, and click expression. Then type the following expression:

floor(time/7)*7

It’s as simple as that. Change the 7 to a number of your liking. the higher the number the choppier it will get. So, for instance, if you use 10, it will only update the frame once in 10 frames.

I have been experimenting a bit with the Fastnoise tool lately to create some(what) believable electric-type effects. It started out as a 2D experiment, but then I thought it would be more interesting/challenging to create it in 3D. I think the end-result is pretty cool, but who am I?? If you have got any questions, let me know! And please, do let me know if you create something with this/with the techniques utilised.

Check out the video below for a quick explanation of the project file:

Hey All – first post of 2018! Happy New Year to you all!

My first tutorial and free download is on 3D Text (or Shapes) that are created out of particles and then animated. It was quite a bit of work to put this together, so I would appreciate feedback! Especially if you end up using it in any of your projects. It would also be good if you could link back to this webpage. You can use the templates for your videos free of charge, but please do NOT distribute the files themselves.

Note: these templates (depending on how you use them, config of your computer etc) can get quite heavy on the CPU and GPU and sometimes may result in a crash of Fusion. Save often!

Please check out my tutorial to get the most out of the templates!

EDIT: new download will be available soon based on a pImageEmitter instead of pCustom which is a more efficient solution in this particular case. Thanks to llir! (see comments section of the video). I’ll keep the original download available as well as I think it can still provide some insight into some aspects of the pCustom Tool.

Another free download! This time, more particle fun… we’re creating an LED scrolling style Billboard. Ensure to check out my video below to get a few hints and tips on how to use & customize it.

Hey all – it’s been a while as I’ve been quite busy. Just a small experiment that again shows the versatility of Fusion in general and the particle system (pcustom again!) in particular (no pun intended…). See video below.
