MathText FAQ

Installation questions

There are several possible causes, so we cannot provide one guaranteed solution.
In this case, follow the manual installation steps.

Extract the entire ZIP and run install.bat from the extracted folder.
Restart DaVinci Resolve.
In Fusion, press Shift + Space and search for MathText.
If it is still missing, check that the files are in the folders listed in manual installation.

Keep install.bat with the supplied files; do not move it to another folder on its own.
Check for MathText.fuse in the folder below. If it is missing, copy it using manual installation.

%APPDATA%\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Support\Fusion\Fuses

If the Fusion node is available but the Edit template is missing, check MathText.setting and MathText.png in the Edit destination.

install.bat is for Windows. These paths and installation steps are also for Windows.
Use manual installation as a reference to copy files to the corresponding folders. Correct operation outside Windows is not guaranteed.

Before updating, back up projects in use and the previous version’s files.
To update, close DaVinci Resolve, extract the new ZIP, and run install.bat. Files with the same names will be overwritten.
To uninstall, close DaVinci Resolve and run the supplied uninstall.bat.
If uninstall.bat does not work, remove only MathText.fuse, MathText.setting, and MathText.png from the folders listed in manual installation.
Do not remove other plugins’ files or the entire Fusion folder.
Projects using the removed plugin may no longer render as before.

MathText embeds its math font data and does not require additional font installation.

Try entering x^2 in Formula.
Enter the expression directly, without delimiters such as $.
Check command spelling and matching braces, for example \frac{a}{b}.
Not every LaTeX command is supported. Start with the examples, adding to the expression gradually.
Also check size, position, and color opacity.

MathText appears under Titles on the Edit page.
If you can't find it, press Shift + Space to search for MathText, then press Enter.
