What it does
Fusion composition work in the DaVinci Resolve MCP. Apply when building or editing Fusion comps, titles, motion graphics, VFX, merges, masks, trackers, on a timeline item live in a running Resolve OR authoring a .comp declaratively offline. Routes to the live fusion_comp tools and the offline fusion authoring tool.
Resolve Fusion
Thin router; depth stays in the kernel.
- Live tool mechanics,
docs/kernels/fusion-composition-kernel.md(thefusion_compboundary). - Offline authoring,
resolve-advanced/README.md→ thefusiontool.
Live subtitle effects
Discover installed factory titles/subtitle presets with
timeline_ai.list_title_presets. For subtitle-track effects use live
timeline_ai.set_subtitle_preset with a preset name or full template ID; omit
preset to adjust the current effect. Common literal inputs cover font/style,
size/position and text RGBA. Highlight/outline mappings are Word Highlight-specific.
Unmapped or connected/animated controls are refused. Other installed subtitle
presets are captured natively in a temporary title timeline and applied through
DRT interchange; the original edit remains recoverable. Ordinary Fusion titles
use timeline.insert_fusion_title with the full template ID, then scoped
fusion_comp probes/input writes. Keep Resolve open and inspect native rendered
frames. Do not route routine effects to Project.db. Unbundled dry runs need an
existing preset_reference to avoid live capture. Caption text/timing corrections
can use live UI; direct DB maintenance remains offline. See
docs/guides/title-library-automation.md and
docs/guides/subtitle-track-editing.md.
