Auto-Rename

Never get confused by generically named Fusion nodes in DaVinci Resolve again.

Automatically rename:

• MediaIn nodes to their file names,
• Background nodes to their colors,
• Text+/Text3D nodes to their text contents and
• All layers of a MultiMerge node to the names of their input nodes

All with a single click!

Usage:

• Open the Fusion page
• Run the Auto Rename script from DaVinci Resolve's dropdown menu (Workspace > Scripts)
  • You can also bind the script to a hotkey (open hotkey settings with CTRL + ALT + K)
• This will automatically rename all unnamed "MediaIn", "Background", "Text+" and "Text 3D" nodes to logical display names
  • This will also rename all layers in the LayerList of a "MultiMerge" node to the names of their input nodes
  • If you rename a node manually, the script will not override the name of that node

Install:

Installing the script

• Download the file Auto Rename.lua and save it into the Scripts folder of DaVinci Resolve:
  • On Windows: C:\Users\<YOUR_NAME>\AppData\Roaming\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Support\Fusion\Scripts\Comp
  • On MacOS: /Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/Fusion/Scripts/Comp
  • On Linux: /opt/resolve/Fusion/Scripts/Comp

Customizing the script (optional)

• Set your own prefix and suffix for Background nodes by changing these variables in the code:

BG_NODE_PREFIX = ""
BG_NODE_SUFFIX = ""

• Set your own prefix and suffix for Text+ and Text3D nodes by changing these variables in the code:

NODE_PREFIX_TEXTPLUS = "Text_"
NODE_PREFIX_TEXT3D = "Text3D_"

The function for conversion from RGB to CIELAB color space is taken from WetDesertRock's vivid project and adapted slightly to fit this project:
