Introduction

Vonk Ultra is a free, open-source (GPL-3.0) node toolset for Blackmagic Fusion — connect text, JSON, arrays, and matrices to build data-driven motion graphics without code.

There are two tool families, and node names tell you which one you're looking at:

  • Core — the general-purpose Vonk toolset (Array, JSON, Matrix, Number, Text, Color, 3D, and more data types). This is the original toolset.
  • Mograph — a newer, more focused set of vArray/vJSON/vMatrix/etc. nodes purpose-built for motion graphics pipelines.

Every node is prefixed by the data type it works with — vArray*, vJSON*, vMatrix*, vText* — which is also how you'd search for it in Fusion's own "Select Tool" dialog (Shift+Spacebar). That naming convention is why this reference is organized by data type first (see Reference).
