dResize
Resize Deep image dimensions
Changes the image dimensions of a Deep stream while preserving its depth-aware sample structure.
dResize
DaVinci Resolve · Fusion
dResize is used when Deep sources need matching frame dimensions before they can be combined or passed downstream. Unlike an ordinary Resize, it operates on Deep data where each pixel may contain multiple depth samples.
Overview
What dResize does
dResize is used when Deep sources need matching frame dimensions before they can be combined or passed downstream. Unlike an ordinary Resize, it operates on Deep data where each pixel may contain multiple depth samples.
Mental model
Think of it as resizing the Deep canvas without intentionally flattening the stacked Z information inside each pixel.
Common uses
Match Deep render resolutions
Prepare Deep inputs for dMerge
Create proxy-size Deep composites
Standardize plate and CG dimensions
Resize before DeepToImage
Flow anatomy
Inputs & outputs
The port structure shows how this node fits into a Fusion graph.
Input
Source image for the operation.
Effect Mask
Optional mask that limits where the node affects the image.

Fusion node
Output
The processed result from this node.

Important parameters
Start with these controls before reaching for more complicated workarounds.
Controls / Height
Sets the vertical size.
Settings / Standard Node Controls
Opens the standard Fusion node settings for comments, connection display and render-script housekeeping.
These controls organize or automate the node; they do not define the creative look of the effect itself.
Practical setup
A reliable workflow
- 1
Check the dimensions of every Deep source.
- 2
Set the target width and height.
- 3
Keep aspect ratio intentional.
- 4
Inspect the result through DeepToImage.
- 5
Continue with dMerge or other Deep processing.

Troubleshooting
Common mistakes
Using ordinary Resize and destroying the Deep stream
Changing aspect ratio accidentally
Scaling huge Deep data unnecessarily
Assuming resize fixes mismatched camera/depth conventions
Production notes
Practical tips
Match dimensions before complex Deep merges.
Keep a note of original resolution if the resize is temporary.
Inspect edges and coverage after large scaling changes.
