## Using OpenFX plugin in DaVinci Resolve

### Adjustment Layer <a href="#adjustment-layer" id="adjustment-layer"></a>

To easily monitor all the clips in the timeline create an adjustment layer above your clips in the timeline in the **Edit Page**, and place the OpenFX plugin on top of that layer.

Find **Effects** in the **Toolbox** in your **Edit Page** on the left side of your timeline:

![Drag Adjustment Clip to your timeline](https://565437294-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-MFqn5MuayPgQPMZ9pwf%2F-MHjg3E2AxUDgyZGrumW%2F-MHjitLy6h505v3OODHT%2FScreenshot%202020-09-21%20at%2010.13.42.jpg?alt=media\&token=63f7202f-acbe-4571-99d5-abc20b4fc734)

And then drag the **OmniScope Connect** plugin on top of that **Adjustment Clip**:

![Apply OmniScope Connect OpenFX plugin onto that Adjustment Clip](https://565437294-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-MFqn5MuayPgQPMZ9pwf%2F-MHjg3E2AxUDgyZGrumW%2F-MHjizYfnLmirWu_2oQr%2FScreenshot%202020-09-21%20at%2010.14.03.jpg?alt=media\&token=55e1fd84-681d-454d-b7e8-81bb1c8d841b)

## Timeline node

Alternatively, you can use **Timeline Node** in the **Color Page**:

![Apply OmniScope Connect OpenFX plugin onto that](https://565437294-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-MFqn5MuayPgQPMZ9pwf%2F-MG3MBrdysbWxo00uH6A%2F-MG3Mog_CztsMYm-icEc%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=54cb1ce9-37c9-4cb2-8468-587a50f2d3af)

{% hint style="info" %}
Placing an OpenFX plugin in the Timeline node can cause side effects when Caching is enabled in Resolve - the plugin can start sending frames to OmniScope once background renderer is started even if the clip is paused.\
\
To fix that please use the **Adjustment Layer** approach above.
