Hey there good people, my name is Scott and you are watching Sword & Shield Studio.
Right now I am going to share with you a free Fusion preset I created
that will make your footage look like it's being shown on a big commercial LED panel.
Now, this preset is fully contained in a macro so you can drop it like any other preset node
on your node tree within Fusion and adjust the different parameters. Let's see how it works.
Okay, I am in Resolve now on the Edit Page where I am ready to add the LED Panel Effect
to a clip. The first thing you have to do is install the macro of course, I included a link
to the file and instructions on how to do this in the video description. Once you have it installed,
right click the clip on your timeline that you want to add the LED Panel effect to
and hit 'Open in Fusion Page...' from the drop-down menu.
Once you have your clip open on the Fusion page, make sure you have your MediaIn node selected, if
you do hit 'Shift+Space' on your keyboard and type 'SSS' in and you should see the LED Panel Effect
show up from that search and either hit 'Enter' or click Add to add that to your node tree.
Now you'll see this will apply the LED Panel Effect immediately.
If you're happy with the default look of the macro then at this point you're done.
If you'd like to modify the look there are a number of different controls which I will go
over now. If you left click the LED Panel Effect node on the node tree and go to your inspector you
will see a number of different options which you can modify. First of which is the background color
so you can either play with these sliders, red, green, and blue.
Or change the background color from this menu here. Either way, that's how you get to that
and this will change the background color behind the LED dots. Underneath that you can affect
the alpha value to decrease or increase the intensity of the effect overall. Below that,
you have your glow size which will expand or contract the glow effect of the individual dots
and above that you can unlock the X/Y glow size if you want to affect one axis or the other
of the glow. Beneath that is the glow amount which will decrease or increase the intensity
of the glow. You can turn it all the way off if you like. Beneath that is horizontal copies
which will add or reduce the number of copies horizontally of the dots and you
can affect the offset of these dots as well with the 'Horizontal Copies Offset' option.
If you want to increase or decrease the spacing between them, you just change the X value here.
And vertical copies does the same thing as horizontal copies for the Y axis,
and again you can adjust the offset to change the spacing of these dots as well.
Origin dot position below that will impact the very first top left dot of the effect.
It will change the position of it. This is useful if you change the dot size which is
the next option. For instance, if you increase the dot size and it clips outside of your image like
this you can change the position so it will fit as you like and there will be no clipping happening.
Or, if you decrease the dot size and you find there is too much
of a border at the beginning of the effect you can bring the origin dot up
like that. That does it for this video, now feel free to take this preset apart and see how
it works on the inside or just use it as-is in your own work. If you find this useful,
please consider subscribing to the channel where I upload a video just like this one every week.
In addition, Sword & Shield Studio goes live every Sunday night on YouTube where I will be answering
your questions and working on something in Fusion. I'll see you next time, thanks for watching.
