How do you like this long form, full length, tutorial?! :)

[@NursesToRiches]

I love this video and fusion videos are my favorite. It would be nice if you could zoom in wherever your cursor is, though, for those of us that are watching on a mobile phone.

[@arndgronenberg]

Really amazing! Very concise, not too fast and not too slow.

[@MichaelVash7886]

To me it's great for videos like these to include the concepts as if they do I can try to create something new based off that.

[@CarlNelsonScience]

Alex, this was great. You packed in a ton of stuff I didn't know about. I'm a follower and now a fan of the deeper dive tutorials! Keep them coming. Thank you!

[@BouncingDande]

What a great video. It had me hooked

[@SweetSourTravel]

Alex the best teacher in the neighbourhood. Thanks 😊

[@GaryCunninghamyouareenough]

Fantastic Alex. I can't wait to give this a go 🤟. Your tutorials are so easy to follow - cheers for that man . Loved the whole "Creating a Macro" section...so helpful 🙏🏻.

[@murallod]

This is one of your best tuts yet brother! Love the deep dive into the process. Cheers!

[@FuzzeeTutorials]

Love the long form tutorial. You were asking where they got that weird number in the aspect ratio of 1.7777778. That is actually representing 16:9, if you divide 16 by 9 you get 1.77777778. I suspect if you leave the aspect ratio set to that weird number it will solve the issue of the video not ending in the right spot when you choose a funky angle. Great episode, keep up the good work.

[@NerdSyncProductions]

Great tutorial! Learned a lot from this!

[@PbA941]

Excellent easy to follow. Length for creating fusion transitions is good. Creating macros was a nice adder.

[@abi219]

Great tutorial 👌Already purchased your transition pack awhile back and love it. Will certainly give this a go. 👍

[@kaizen4smart]

another top tutorial. extremely well explained. cheers Alex

[@yoursolotraveller]

You are giving away some great information that is not easily available and I appreciate that a lot... Thanks to you many creators can upscale and improve videos like a PRO!!

[@dobitaobyte]

Amazing tutorial, Alex. Thank you very very much for that.

[@TriniWeekes]

This is very cool. Will try this one, thanks Alex.

[@Cygnoux]

I had been waiting for someone to do this on Resolve. Thank you Alex

[@MrAlexTech]

Hey thanks :) I'll do a few more to show the power of Anim Curves! You can create loads with them it's so awesome!

[@demondynastie96]

Your explanation was fantastic, thanks for the time you've saved!

[@trollflix]

Wow, thank you MrAlex! 😃 saved this tutorial for later..

[@Mighty_Z14]

Amazingly informative and helpful. Thank you.

[@arthurmartin9398]

Hi Alex,. I Watch all your Tutorials. Just love the way you how professionell and simple you explain everything. Greetings from Germany. 👍🏻

[@SimonStansfield]

27 minutes! You after my crown of world longest tutorial!

[@MrAlexTech]

Haha! I figured people might need help sleeping tonight 😆

[@BruceMoyle]

As someone that uses fusion regularly l, how did I never figure out that I can rename modifiers until now. That tip was awesome. Thank you.

[@SmartHomeJunkie]

Again a great tutorial You are my Go-To guy for Davinci Resolve.

[@punkyproductions5153]

thank you, this helps a lot! 🎩

[@freddymiguelponce]

FANTASTIC as always Alex! You're one of THE BEST "Resolve Masters" (my humble opinion) If you allow me one question please. Do you have any video that cover your back up process? Thanks in advance Have a Productive and Healthy Day!

[@ahmedammar3338]

This tutorial is A GOLD

[@NIronwolf]

I didn't have time to play along today, but just watching, I wonder if leaving the aspect ratio "correct" instead of one, would make the non-orthogonal angles stop in the correct position. It may mean you'd have to leave that part exposed in the macro too if you use it on media with different aspects. But it's all just theory since I didn't actually have time to play today.

[@PTFWWDB]

This is amazing didn't know you could do this with the Anim Curves and everything. but for me dragging it in is not making it available on the edit page is there a new way of doing this

[@amansharma8499]

It was really good, I"d also like if you can make the same tutorial on how to make glitch custom transition like this.

[@jra]

That's great Alex!!! Just asking, a quick or long tutorial about expression would be cool!!

[@MrAlexTech]

Hey! Yeaaah sure thing, this is the first of a few I want to do all around Anim Curves which will include lots more expressions

[@user-wx4lx5mc8i]

love from india bhai thank q

[@YZshotem]

Can you make a Version 2 of your transition pack you released a couple months ago

[@alexbond5805]

10/10, Really good tutorial that's opened up a new thing for me to explore in my novice entrance into video editing. 4/360 However for the pretty big problem with this transition. As you highlighted in your video, if the angle of the transition is anything but 0/90/180/270°, the end image is off center. so far I can't find a work around that ensures that the end of the transition always lands the final image in the center from any given angle... Any ideas?

[@MrAlexTech]

Yeaaah I came across that issue myself, but can't recall how I got around it ha! I'm at NAB in Vegas atm but i'll try dig through when i get a chance dude!

[@flufflesss]

Great Tutorial as usual.😻 But still Hard to watch on mobile. 😉

[@TheBat271]

i like video which you add much effects in one video Try to downloading more clips like this

[@PedroCostaNeves]

is there a way to set a fixed frame duration to the transition, instead of leaving it to be dynamic like it is as default? like I want my transition to be fixed 6 frames only

[@Not-Only-Reaper-Tutorials]

It wil be nice a small tutorial where you show how to add a thumbnail to each custom transition/fx/macro ... it looks like to be the secret for few ...

[@fabmartel]

nice nice.. powerfull... mmhh i see mMatrix in your effect :-)

[@MrAlexTech]

Ha yes! It's free too :) You can grab it here: mralextech.net/MVFXResolve

[@linegrinder]

Can you also add an audio to that custom transition. I'm using a lot of of the standard slide video transition effect on my videos, but then I need to go over and manually add a "swoosh" sound effect to each transition. Is there a way for me to add the swoosh sound effect to a custom transition so that I won't have to add video transition and then also an audio effect with that transition?

[@MaurideHaro]

I'd love to know this too! Did you figure it out?

[@linegrinder]

@@MaurideHaro unfortunately no

[@__-Z-_]

Amazingly informative mate, I have a much better understanding of animcurves!. I was able to follow along exactly until the creating a macro part when I ran into 2 snags. 1. When adding the saved macro to the effect library, I was unable to simply drag and drop on Mac. I got around this by right clicking the word "transitions" > show folder, then drag it dropped it in there. but unfortunately the 2nd snag is the transition I made just blacks out the video track for its duration instead of doing any kind of transition. All the controls are visible on the edit page but none of them do anything to make the video track visible. If I ctrl+drag the original (non-macro) one to dupe it on a different edit point it works completely fine, so I'm not sure where I went wrong. Restarted resolve, tried reinstalling the macro but no luck. EDIT: I figured out the problem! Make sure you don't skip the step of degrouping the dissolve node! I don't mind dealing with node groups so I just left it but apparently that breaks the whole macro! tl;dr just follow instructions better than I do and you'll be fine lol

[@MrAlexTech]

Huh that's weird, should work same on Mac! I'll test on my Macbook and report back just to make sure there's nothing weird going on.

[@__-Z-_]

@@MrAlexTech I was able to fix the main issue (see my edit). Still can’t seem to drag things directly into the effects library but that’s no big deal! Thanks for the great tutorial!

[@BobKummerfeld]

@@__-Z-_ on my mac Studio running DR 18.1 I found that the DaVinci Resolve/Fusion/Templates/Edit/Transitions was not created. The path ended at Templates. I created the sub-directories and it worked.

[@JamesAnderson-wft]

Thanks for this. Great work. And.... Resolve update... 17.4.5..... ??? Would you say it's not necessary for most users?

[@MrAlexTech]

It's mostly fixes so yeah no rush to upgrade unless you're having very specific issues 👍

[@JamesAnderson-wft]

@@MrAlexTech Not at the minute. I'm a keen but pretty basic user. Thanks.

[@OzoneVibe]

You can "drag connect" parameters on two different nodes if both nodes are selected. 👍

[@MrAlexTech]

Yeaaah you can pin them too but it doesn't like it when one is a tool and one is a modifier so I figured it was easier to do it manually. Plus it's a good teaching point 🙂

[@lookingforfreewifi]

I was gonna create a zoom transition like this but I couldn't figure out how to get anim curves to work with the size attribute of the transform node =/

[@MrAlexTech]

I'll do that next 🙂

[@musicmukuljaipur]

Did you figured out? I'm also trying the same but can't able to animate the size with anim curve ☹

Dude! The fact that you can see that it's a transition, by definition, means it is not "seamless."
