Creating a template in DaVinci Fusion is quite easy. To get the most out of it, you’ll want to control and configure your Fusion template settings from the Edit panel in DaVinci Resolve.

In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to export the settings of a Fusion composition so that you can adjust its configuration directly from the Edit panel.

✅ Step 1: Create a Macro

Once you've designed your desired effect or graphic in the Fusion page, the first step is to group your tools into a macro. This bundles your intricate Fusion setup into a single, manageable unit.

Right-click on your selected tools and choose Macro > Create Macro Right Click > Macro > Create Macro

Creating Macro from existing tools

✅ Step 2: Select Settings to Control

A window will appear with all the available settings for the tools you selected.
Check all the settings you want to be adjustable later in the Edit panel.

Select configuration settings for Tools

✅ Step 3: Save the Macro

Click Save As, then save your macro in the following folder:
C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Support\Fusion\Templates\Edit

For example, I saved mine here:
C:\Users\sabbirz\AppData\Roaming\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Support\Fusion\Templates\Edit\Titles\Sabbirz

Save the Macro

✅ Step 4: Apply the Template in the Edit Panel

With your macro saved, it's incredibly easy to use!

  1. Switch back to the Edit panel in DaVinci Resolve.
  2. In the Effects Library (usually found on the top left), Since I have saved the macro inside the text template, you'll find it under the Titles.
  3. Simply drag and drop your custom template onto your timeline, just like any other built-in effect or title!

Select a template and apply that

Tip: Make sure to name your variables clearly, so they’re easy to adjust from the Edit panel.

🎉 You’re Done!

You’ve now created a customizable Fusion template in DaVinci Resolve! This method makes it easy to reuse and tweak your Fusion compositions for maximum efficiency.

Happy editing!
