Fusion “Change Strings” Script – Batch Change Names, Expressions, Filepaths

By

Noah Hähnel

Change Strings can batch change or rename most strings, meaning text, in Blackmagicdesign Fusion, and Fusion inside DaVinci Resolve. 

Watch the video above to see some of the powerful features it has!

Change Strings was updated to 1.5.2 on March 23, 2021.

The changelog is available here.

These strings are Tool/Node names, expressions, and filepaths. Simply write the text you want to replace (or delete) into the designated Search for and Replace with Text fields. Make sure you have all the tools selected on which you want the search and replace operation to be performed and press OK.

Change Strings supports an unlimited number of find and replace operations in the same session and is even capable to switch patterns around, all thanks to the Pattern Breaker (more about this in the Advanced Settings section here). Another great feature is, that Change Strings will respect your large and lower case letters even with case sensitivity disabled.

Make sure to check out the Advanced Searches as they will help you find and replace much quicker. For example, to remove the annoying numbers that Fusions appends to tool names when they are copied.
