Built-In DaVinci Resolve Free Effects
Like any other similar tool, Resolve has some built-in effects and presets. Most of them are basic, like color correction, particle generators, deformers, trackers, blur, and many more.
You can access them by going to the Fusion tab in your DaVinci Resolve software, right-clicking in the Nodes window area, and selecting Add Tool. All the tool categories will appear in a new table.

Another way to access your tools, plug-ins, or script is to simply left-click on your Nodes window and press down shift plus spacebar. It will pop up this window:

Type what are you looking for, select it, and press Add.
You can find very useful plug-ins here, but for some more complicated stuff, you might not find the right plug-in. No worries; there are ways to get more plug-ins.
For instance, you can either purchase them from third-party developers like Red Giant, BorisFX, and others or get them for free from community developers through Reactor.
