 +==== 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.

 +==== Locations as of DaVinci Resolve 18 ====
 +Locations, thanks to [Install Titles, Transitions, Effects, and Generators DaVinci Resolve 18](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8I8rZwq7Fnk&ab_channel=JayAreTV) - 
 +JayAreTV.
 +
 +Inside the the edit folder everything should be put in one of four folders to match what the template is:
 +  * Titles
 +  * Transitions
 +  * Effects
 +  * Generators
 +
 +Those locations are (user):
 +  * On macOS: ''Macintosh HD/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/Fusion/Templates/Edit''
 +  * On Windows: ''C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Support\Fusion\Templates\Edit''
 +  * On Linux: ''home/username/.local/share/DaVinciResolve/Fusion/Templates/Edit''
 +
 +All users of a machine:
 +  * On Windows: ''C:\Program Files\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Fusion\Templates\Edit''
 +
 +You can group all the types in subfolders (andy for sets of titles/transitions) such as:
 +  * System: ''C:\Program Files\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Fusion\Templates\Edit\Titles\Underwater Text''
 +  * User: ''C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Support\Fusion\Templates\Edit\Titles\Underwater Text''
