Dude letterbox is the exact secret node I've been missing in my vertical vid output workflow. Thank you!!

Dude if you made a fusion course I’d pay to learn from you any day. Goat.

100% The way he explains it is so clear and he shows exactly what you need to see without all the awkwardness. Easily the best fusion instructor on KZbin.

[@craigshields8806]

@@buuts I was thinking about this yesterday as I watched some Cullen Kelly tutorials. No doubt he's great and inspired a lot of these principles but some are just better teachers than others.

Been waiting for this video for a while. Thanks for making this Matt. I've been using Fusion for sometime now and I wouldn't consider myself a beginner but I still clicked on the video because IK there would a lot to learn from your video. Please don't stop making these awesome Fusion videos, really, really helpful.

[@motionvfx]

Well noted! Stay tuned for future tutorials!

this tutorial is incomprehensibly underrated! the way you taught us so many unobvious good stuff while just having fun is both very useful and amusing to watch!! all the stuff you did with simple background nodes already blew my head off. much love

[@motionvfx]

Thanks for your kind words! 💟 Happy editing and stay tuned for more!

[@firesightstudios5823]

Hey Matt. These videos are AWESOME! I'm already using your trick with the brightness / contrast node, that I had no idea about. Would love if you keep making videos like this - the last one was awesome as well. Specifically I think you should do one about "Modifiers" like Shake, Perturb, Follower, etc. If you have any knowledge about expressions I think that would be super valuable as well. Some other nodes I think would be cool to see is more uses for the "Filter" node that you show here, Dent, Duplicate, Text+, maybe Magic Mask?, Custom Tool, the Particle nodes, Time Speed / Time Stretcher. This is an awesome series that I can see being very successful. Thanks again!

[@deka_who]

I've been working with DaVinci for several years now and, even though I still have a lot to learn I find it hard to find content that is beyond the basics and still makes me learn. This video has been half an hour of pure learning, I would pay for a full DaVinci course from you. Thank you and I look forward to more tutorials!

[@motionvfx]

[@TheSoundofU]

Hi Matt, I purchased Music VFX recently & love it, and tonight downloaded 4 more packages. Thank you for inspiring me & your products are awesome.

[@rano12321]

Wow, this is my second comment after I finished watching this video, I've been using Fusion for couple of years now but I don't think I've learned so much in video about Fusion in all of my years of using and learning Fusion. This is the best Fusion motion graphics videos I've seen on YT. Please make more videos like this Matt. we really need more advanced but looks cool mograph tutorials for Fusion on YT. In future please consider making more 3D and particle system tutorials inside Fusion.

[@MattMcCool0]

🥲Thank you, Rano! I try very hard to shed light on areas of Fusion I feel aren't explored enough. I have a lot I could talk about with 3D and particles. More is definitely coming!

[@rano12321]

@@MattMcCool0 Can't wait for it dude, I primarily work with VFX and was using Nuke before so most of my knowledge of Fusion is about vfx and compositing etc but IK than Fusion has something that Nuke doesn't which are the motion graphics tools which I don't know much and these tips were really helpful. Fusion has a very powerful particle system which I've only used a few times and have gotten better results in half time than expensive AE plugins. Looking forward to it.

[@Mirco.Iannelli]

I am so glad you guys decided to delve deeper into the Fusion tutorial. There are really few people out there with your knowledge in Fusion, so I'm really looking forward to seeing the next one. Thanks again!

[@MattWhittingham]

This is excellent and super useful. Just the first section on the BG tool…can already see lots of us cases for that outline effect. Please keep these coming, there is not that much really good Fusion stuff on You Tube beyond the beginner stuff

[@MattMcCool0]

Yep, this technique can go very far. Or very simple. Lots you can do with that. You can also make the gradient go above 1.0 for a tiny sharp sliver, then settle back to 1.0 or full transparent...then use a bitmap to grab that tiny over exposed dot and run it through a separate glow or highlight to get kinda like a "tip" of a laser etching the letters on.

[@motionvfx]

[@mattlewin72]

Another wonderfully presented and helpful video. Thank you so much for producing it. I’d love to see how you teach proper use of a the planar tracker on footage where the tracked area becomes occluded and/or deformed within the footage. For example, pinning an animation to the side of a skyscraper which is being viewed by a panning drone. When the skyscraper goes behind and then emerges from behind another building, everything breaks for me. I’ve watched seemingly every video on the Interwebs, and tried countless times to make it work, but I just can’t. I cannot be the only one who struggles with these more complex planar tracker situations. Thank you so much for these videos. They and you are amazing.

[@nathanevans9678]

Unsure if you've covered it already, more in-depth explanation of how to use multiple media outs in fusion to color grade elements separately would be very helpful!

[@MattMcCool0]

I talk about this briefly here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4SqhpyVbrKibbMsi=ILDmM2Q1KAXt4_aO&t=830 Although, this is really meant for simple comps like titles that need to be graded separately. For more intricate comps (for example, a green screen plate shot in some flavor of log comped into a CG scene with dynamic lighting, depth, and whatnot...) I think it's better to do all of your compositing/color correction in Fusion in linear space, then output to your working space for the color page and grade the entire shot as one source. You can even add a viewer LUT or a final CST to view while you're color correcting in Fusion. The Color page lacks a lot of basic compositing tools like alpha divide/multiply so your edges often break apart. Fusion, on the other hand, has very capable tools for color correcting. So I would rather do some color in Fusion than some compositing in Color, if that makes sense. Thanks for checking this video out!

How the hell do you find all these little tricks out. These little nuggets of knowledge, like when changing an item in a drop down menu it gives your node another input. Seeing how the nodes work is great for us that prefer a visual, tutorial, rather than reading the manual. Great stuff, more vfx compositing for movie work in Fusion/Resolve.

[@wayofki]

These tutorials are incredible! There's so much good information packed in. My question is, how can someone learn fusion in this kind of depth? Like rather than learning random techniques, it seems like you are able to take a goal or problem and work out various (sometimes very creative and unexpected) ways to approach what you want to achieve. Is that just a result of experience? Or is there some kind of process one could go through to try and get that insight? After watching this video, I feel like even after learning all these nodes, I wouldn't have the ideas to use them in these kinds of ways. Perhaps you could do a video about the mindset, or problem-solving techniques you go through when trying to achieve a certain effect?

I love these videos! As a Fusion user of over 20+ years, it's easy to stop learning. I would love to know how you would do a Fusion ACES colour managed workflow, particularly with ColourCorrect nodes. I find the levels adjustment while in ACES to behave very oddly.

[@motionvfx]

Thanks for watching and for your kind words! 🙌🏻

[@calicocrypto1039]

Love that your doing more like this!!! Thank you so much for this content. The background node stuff floored me.....Ive so much to learn lol. Is there any way to edit a depth map in fusion?....like by using the paint node or something? I feel like there is a way to fine tune depth that Im missing. More on how, why, and where to use the matte control would be awesome...confusing little node.

[@MattMcCool0]

The depth map can be a little tricky to work with. I've used a gradient background masked by a poly to "edit" the map a little, but generally, I find depth map to be best for subtle and broad effects. It's not my go-to for accuracy. I'd stick with more traditional masking tools, or even magic mask can do an incredible job. But I will say, the nice thing about depth map is you can create macros for yourself for really simple effects without needing to tweak a mask by hand every time you want to use it. Thanks for watching and I'll see what I can come up with for Matt control...I mean, matte control!

[@dragonslee]

Would like to see you recreate the Mtracker Titles from your FCPX packs in fusion. Would be a bonus if you offered those assets for sale for resolve users to make use of.

[@motionvfx]

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll pass it on to the DaVinci team, they'll check what's possible there.
