 Note, some tutorials are specific to different screens/areas within DaVinci Resolve. Some people will be interested in things like the colour tab, while others won't be interested in more than the basics for their work.

Then there are some "what's new" videos which cover the big changes.

+==== 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.
