+==== Installation Locations ====
+The latest way of distributing third party content is via 'packs' (requires Resolve 17.2 or later) which have a ''.drfx'' file which can be dragged into node graph the Fusion page. Then just restart Resolve and you'll be good to go.
+Directories to copy ''.settings'' files to:
+  - ''C:\Program Files\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Fusion\Templates\Edit\Transitions''
+  - ''C:\Program Files\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Fusion\Templates\Edit\Titles''
+  - ''C:\Program Files\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Fusion\Templates\Edit\Effects''
+If you wish to install other things, then these locations might be useful:
+  - ''C:\ProgramData\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Support\LUT''
+    - In Resolve 17, you select LUT locations in Resolve Preferences - System - General - LUT Locations
+==== Extracting Macros ====
+This is because Motion Array (and others) don't distribute Resolve content in the most accessable/usable way (''.setting'' files or the new ''.drfx'' packages).
+Some extra bits are distributed as macros, sometimes embedded in a timeline... They can be extracted [[https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=59989]]
+Open a template (you might need to save as ''.setting'' from fusion if it's embedded in a timeline), change the ''MacroOperator'' to ''GroupOperator'' [Case Sensitive], save the file (under a new name), using the ''.setting'' extension. Restart Resolve and loaded my the renamed template. Ungroup it in the Fusion section and it shows the nodes.
