Lesson 10

Creating Graphics

and Effects in Fusion

Visual effects make the fantastic and
impossible look completely realistic.
Whether you’re in a theater watching the
latest studio blockbuster, viewing a show
on your iPhone, or at home on a big screen
television, visual effects are everywhere.
With DaVinci Resolve 16, you have the
power to create your own visual effects,
so you can transport an audience into
completely believable immersive worlds!

Producing visual effects is an exciting craft
that takes time and practice to master. But
once you do, you’ll be able to bring virtually
any story to life, no matter how imaginative!

The Fusion page in DaVinci Resolve features
all of the tools you need to create visual
effects and animated motion graphics using
nodes instead of layers. You do so by linking
tools together as you would combine
building blocks, and then connecting them
into an image-processing flowchart.
