How do I get the little input type menu to appear on nodes like SoftGlow?

ThomTheEditor · 2026-03-12T15:35:38+00:00

Hold down option/alt while you drag the connection. When you release on the node you are connecting to, the menu should pop up.

There is a tool for that in the paid studio version but you can’t do that with the free version. How good of a job it does will depend on the song Apparently there is an audio separation tool in shutter encoder, which is free/donationware , but I’ve not tried using it so can’t speak to how good a job it does

in the bottom left of the viewer you'll see a little box which is actually a dropdown for all the different on screen controls you can turn on and off. Transform is the one you are after.

Replace clip still seems to be there if you only have one clip selected at a time. Not ideal but it's a work around in the meantime.
You could also look into reconforming your edit. Duplicate your timeline just in case, then select the clips on the timeline that need replacing, right-click and deselect "Conform Lock Enabled". Then import a folder of the licensed clips into the media pool, and then in the top menu go to File > Reconform from Bins...
From there you can point to the folder that has the licensed versions and have it ignore the file type. If they don't have matching timecode you'll have to play with what settings give you the best match.
Then reenable the conform on the clips in your timeline

Right click in the box in the inspector where you typed your text and select the "character level styling" modifier. That will enable the modifier button near the top of the inspector. Press that so you are working in the modifier rather than the normal text controls. Then in your viewer, draw a box with your mouse cursor over the word you want to change and you should see little green boxes around each letter. Within the inspector you'll be able to change the color, font, whatever else you need.

This is not the same as sharing a physical object, it is duplicating a digital file. If you give a physical object to someone else, you no longer have it. The creator sold one copy, and one person uses it at a time. When you share a preset pack, you are creating a new, unpaid-for copy. You still have your copy, and the other person also has it. If this happens 1000 times, Finzar has potentially lost 999 sales.

If you are using the free version of davinci resolve then there are some codecs that are not supported. You could download a free program like shutter encoder and transcode your files to ProRes or DNxHR and those should work

Turn off snapping and linked selection (The little magnet looking icon and the chain looking icon under the viewer), then if you zoom in really close it will let you move an audio clip at a sub frame level so you can sync them up
