In this DaVinci Resolve Fusion tutorial, you’ll learn how to create a fully functional and animated analog clock from scratch.

This project is a great way to understand:
• Time-based animation in Fusion
• Using expressions and math for motion
• Procedural design with nodes
• Rotation logic for hour, minute, and second hands
• Clean, reusable Fusion setups

Whether you're new to Fusion or looking to level up your motion graphics skills, this tutorial walks through the entire process step by step.

Expressions used:
Hour
-time/(((comp:GetPrefs("Comp.FrameFormat.Rate"))*43200)/360)
Minutes
-time/(((comp:GetPrefs("Comp.FrameFormat.Rate"))*3600)/360)
Seconds
-time/(((comp:GetPrefs("Comp.FrameFormat.Rate"))*60)/360)
