How To Setup (Fusion Page)
First, convert your audio using the Visualiser Converter. Then, in DaVinci Resolve, drop your audio onto the timeline and add a Fusion Composition that matches its duration. Inside the Fusion comp, import your converted image, then add the vz_Player, vz_Converter, and a visualiser of your choice. Then you can add any additional node to enhance the final result.
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 control how the audio behaves over time. Placed right after the converted image, they are essential for managing the audio input before it's processed further.
- Player (vz_Player) (Required): This is the most critical node. It ensures your visualisation stays perfectly synced with the audio.
- Frequency Effects (vz_F): These nodes control the volume of different audio frequencies.
- Branch 1: Visualisers: The
vz_Converternode processes the audio data for the visualisers. - Branch 2: Probes: The
vz_ConverterProbeconverts audio data into values (0-1) that you can use with expressions to make anything react to your audio. - Note: You must use at least one of the branches above (Visualisers or Probes) for the plugin to function, but you can also use both at once.
- Effects (vz_Fx): After either branch, you can add final effects (prefixed with
vz_Fx).
How To Setup (Edit Page - Full Edition)
The Full Edition offers a significantly faster workflow by working directly on the Edit Page.
Drag and drop your chosen visualizer preset directly onto your timeline, placing it on a track above your audio clip.
Extend the visualizer preset to ensure it fully covers the duration of the audio you want to visualize.
Select the visualizer clip, open the Inspector, and find the Converted Image section. Simply drag and drop your converted spectrogram image into that area to complete the setup.
