The New Macro Creator is an advanced tool developed by Asher Roland of Fusion Pixel Studios, aimed at revolutionizing the macro creation process in DaVinci Resolve. Since its inception on April 12, 2024, the tool has undergone significant enhancements, leveraging the full potential of the DaVinci Resolve/Fusion API. What started as a basic utility for speeding up macro creation has evolved into a feature-rich solution that supports the entire macro development workflow.
The New Macro Creator offers a range of powerful features designed to streamline and enhance the macro creation process. Users can quickly select nodes and view their modifiers in a comprehensive list, making it easier to manage complex macros. The tool includes robust search capabilities, allowing users to find specific tools and controls efficiently. Adding multiple controls at once is simplified, and users can reorder controls within the macro preview to fit their needs. Additionally, the tool provides informative loading and message windows, keeping users updated on the status of their work.
One of the standout aspects of The New Macro Creator is its extensive customization options. Users can add and organize various controls, such as labels, buttons, checkboxes, separators, spacers, and images. Labels can be nested to manage complex setups, while buttons can be programmed to execute Lua scripts. Checkboxes allow for expressions that link to other controls, enhancing interactivity. Custom separators and spacers help in arranging controls visually. The tool also supports including images both within controls and in the header for a personalized touch.
Managing macros is straightforward with The New Macro Creator. It features options for customizing macro preview settings, including default, minimum, maximum, and center values. Label hiding and nesting functions help in organizing controls effectively. Users can also add and customize additional pages, complete with icons and tooltips, and remove default pages like controls. For editing and exporting, the tool offers flexibility with options to export macros as groups, DRFX files, or Atom files, and supports selecting thumbnail images for exports. It also allows quick export to clipboard and saving as a .DRMacro file for long-term storage.
To aid in tracking and troubleshooting, The New Macro Creator includes an action log that records all actions and issues encountered. This log is saved monthly, providing a historical record that users can access to review past activities. The tool also offers quick access to related folders for managing macros and supports refreshing tools while editing. If users need to open and update old macros, the tool ensures that any missing nodes are automatically added, streamlining the process of maintaining and revising existing macros.
Overall, The New Macro Creator is designed to offer a comprehensive, user-friendly solution for creating and managing macros in DaVinci Resolve, making complex tasks more accessible and efficient.
