A more pythonic way to create Fusion compositions

pysion is a python package / framework for creating Blackmagic [DaVinci Resolve] Fusion comps with code. Comps, tools and inputs are stored in custom python dicts that mimic Fusion's .setting files lua-like syntax when turned into strings. When you run comp.render(), you get text that's readily pasteable into Fusion.

Example code

It's really easy to create a simple composition with a background and a rectangle mask:

from pysion import Composition, Tool, RGBA

comp = Composition()

bg = Tool.background("Background1", RGBA(1, 0.4, 0.1), resolution="auto")
mask = Tool.mask("Rectangle", position=(0, -1))
bg.add_mask(mask)

comp.add_tools(bg, mask)

print(comp)

The output...

{ 
        Tools = { 
                Background1 = Background { 
                        Inputs = { 
                                TopLeftRed = Input { Value = 1, }, 
                                TopLeftGreen = Input { Value = 0.4, }, 
                                TopLeftBlue = Input { Value = 0.1, }, 
                                TopLeftAlpha = Input { Value = 1, }, 
                                UseFrameFormatSettings = Input { Value = 1, }, 
                                EffectMask = Input { 
                                        SourceOp = "Rectangle", 
                                        Source = "Mask", 
                                }, 
                        }, 
                        ViewInfo = OperatorInfo { Pos = { 0, 0 }, }, 
                }, 
                Rectangle = RectangleMask { 
                        ViewInfo = OperatorInfo { Pos = { 0, -33 }, }, 
                }, 
        }, 
        ActiveTool = "Background1", 
}

... which results in an orange rectangle when pasted into Fusion:

How to install

You can install pysion by running pip install git+https://github.com/brunocbreis/pysion in your terminal of choice.

What to expect

pysion is still very much a work-in-progress, so expect lots of changes and adjustments in its syntax in these beginning stages.

As of right now, I have also been developing FuPlot, which relies on pysion to generate data visualizations as completely-editable (and animatable) Fusion node trees. I would love to see what else people can come up with!
