How To Setup (Fusion Page)
First, convert your audio using the Visualiser Converter. In DaVinci Resolve, add your audio to the timeline and create a Fusion Composition. Inside Fusion, import your converted image and connect the vz_Player and vz_Converter (Required) nodes to a visualizer.
The Node Order
Understanding the Workflow
All nodes are organized with custom prefixes. Search for them using Shift + Space.
- Time Effects (vz_T): These nodes manage how audio data flows over time. Connect them directly after your source image.
- Player (vz_Player) (Required): The central node that ensures your visuals remain perfectly synced with the master audio.
- Frequency Effects (vz_F): Use these nodes to fine-tune the volume and response of specific frequency ranges.
- Converter (vz_Converter) (Required for Visualizers): The essential bridge that converts processed audio signal into data that
vz_Vzrenderers can understand. - Probe (vz_ConverterProbe) (Required for Animation): The essential bridge that outputs raw 0-1 values from your audio data for use with expressions or
vz_PVznodes. - Note: At least one bridge node (Converter or Probe) must be active for the visual elements to react to audio.
- Effects (vz_Fx): Final post-processing effects applied to the visualized result.
How To Setup (Edit Page - Full Edition)
The Full Edition offers a significantly faster workflow by allowing you to work directly on the Edit Page.
Drag and drop your chosen visualizer preset directly onto your timeline, placing it on a track above your audio.
Extend the visualizer clip to match the duration of the audio you wish to visualize.
Select the visualizer clip, open the Inspector, and drag your converted spectrogram image into the Converted Image field.
