In this video I want to go over the very best way to understand what order to use nodes, and why it matters! Getting this knowledge will help you grasp the concept of why we use certain nodes and when and where they should go to make your comps the very best (without errors!).

[@ljayh1]

As always Great video. I'm 71 and these video lessons help keep the old gray matter lubricated. Thank again.

[@CaseyFaris]

Haha. You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@FloydVDocDeVore]

Same for this 73 year old. Love your stuff Casey!

[@arcopolarismusic]

Same for this 74 year old...thanks Casey.

[@XxLuvverofMusicxX]

Yes please, if you have the time, make a part 2 of this video to go over the rest of the animation. Also if you wanted to cover how you configured the different nodes that would also be great. I used the same node tree as you did, but I could not figured out how to animate the clouds background and I ended up with a static black and white image of the clouds with the ripple effect. It did not merge over the blue background, even though my node connections were exactly the same as yours.

[@shockedsam]

That's the difference between you and other youtube tutors. They focus on how to do a particular thing and you focus on how and why the particular thing happens. You're like teaching science and others like doing magic show. The explanation and examples were weird, I know. I really like videos focused on concepts like how things work. When I go to learn da Vinci resolve by myself I do not find anything to edit like no videos, graphics and other things but with your videos I can follow along. Thank you!

[@mahera1950]

Okay. I think I've found my fusion teacher. How do I know? Because i didn't click off at the first mention of fusion and I watched the video all the way through without feeling overwhelmed once and without feeling the need to flee a fusion video. Breaking the confusion tab down to the fusion by explaining how fusion *actually* works was my little miracle take away. When I better understand the Edit and Fairlight tab and I'm ready for Fusion, I will start that journey with this cat, clouds and blue tutorial. Heartfelt thanks Casey from a curious 73 year old youngster.

[@BrokerBasil]

I'm only 69 and have been messing with Resolve for a few years now but this video really brought it back to logical Fusion basics - very helpful and I will watch again and probably multiple times. Thank you. (And yes I've used Fusion a bit but never really totally "get" the order of nodes up to now).

[@tayinternational]

Yes we definitely need more of these simple follow along fusion videos . I watched it once but going to download the media and watch it again as I try to copy the steps.

[@RonNVids]

I like the repetition. Since I don't use fusion every day, it's easy to forget what I learned and then get confused when I get in the program. Thanks for the lesson reinforcement! :)

[@joaovitorlima9952]

Absolutely beautiful, Casey! You slowing it down and going really in-depth resulted in a longer video, but it's so easy to follow along. This is a great video !

[@Ron_Ventura]

Beautifully explained. And yes please show us how you did the animation.

[@io-si1rv]

😍😍Please continue to explain the animation from the rest of the video. Thanks 🙏

[@quentinhill6067]

You are the GOAT. I would definitely appreciate you walking through the rest of this comp!

[@tag159]

Yes, make a video that finishes this clip. These little projects are so fun to do.

[@Docdoolit]

This was wonderful. The elementary teaching is so helpful!

[@-HollywoodAtHome-]

Casey, if you can, please do an updated video of your scientific render settings! That was extremely helpful for the Resolve community

[@theManagementLab]

Casey is that rare guy who can explain difficult concepts and make them seem easy. Thank you! Please make the next video to show the animated cat over the water ripple. 😍

[@RichieBeaumont]

I remember your toast video which inspired me to learn fusion and this will now be used as a new reference. Thanks for your great teaching knowledge and explanations.

[@skyking95]

Casey - this was excellent. I for one would love to see how the rest of this came together. I’ve been getting use to Fusion and this video was great and helps make sense of using Fusion. So, do another episode showing the rest of the comp.

[@drwhave]

very useful. I sort of knew all this stuff but organising the information and defining and explaining methods set it all in the right direction.

[@animewrld8908]

finally understand nodes after many videos, great explanation

[@klintk215]

Awesome video! Yes, I’d love to see some more of the inner tube cat’s adventures!!

[@joemadden1381]

Great work as usual... A special Thanks for "banging on" about the basic concepts and ordering of nodes ... Very helpful.. ❤

[@wildedricmedia4504]

Fab as always Casey, yes please to the 2nd part for animation, as this is the next part of my Fusion journey!

[@dalstarvisuals1385]

Thanks, Casey! The light bulb is turning on!

[@GrahamColler]

Thanks heaps Casey. Another great tutorial. Please continue with part two as part one was super helpful.

[@msghazi]

Great video! I've been watching you for a while now as I've been working to start my KZbin channel. Your videos are super-helpful. Keep up the great work!

[@joraphpictures]

Wonderful. I don't even bother with the Fusion page anymore because it never made sense to me. This video simplified everything, making it as easy as cutting a video. You've just eliminated a years of frustration for me. Play do a part two

[@HeikosGarage]

Please make a part 2 to this. It is very helpful. I would also love to see you talk about key frames. Thanks

[@CaseyFaris]

Yep. We have a short Keyframes course here: www.groundcontrol.film/tw-keyframe-animation-made-simple

[@tbowen12]

Always good stuff!

[@rgsiiiya]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make part 2+ with the full walk thru for the whole animation ! And or at least show us the settings you used on each effects node (e.g. what you changed on the brightness/contrast node, etc)

[@brucepwalker]

Thanks Casey. You make things very clear

[@jerryada]

Awesome. You're a light in the dark.

[@trunghoang7605]

Great video! Great teacher!

[@tineocedric]

I want the rest of the tutorial! I love your vids!

[@PaulaS-df4uy]

Thanks Casey, appreciate all of your efforts.

[@abirtnf]

Thank you so much Casey 🖤 your lessons and the way you explain that helps me a lot to learn fuision pretty easily!! May god bless you 🖤

[@jamiefenner9443]

Wow, so clear and patient! Thank-you!

[@johnhanus2455]

Wow big thank you for doing this!!!!

[@TechNikky]

we love to watch the rest of it

[@NosaAlways]

You my friend, are amazing!

[@jer3006]

This is an important video! Thank you!

[@djdawso]

Excellent explanation!

[@abstract2756]

When i read the title, i jumped in thinking this was going to address the rasterisation issues when you scale something down, add an effect node such as blur (even if you turn the blend to 0) and scale it back up, you would have lost quality as anything other than merges or XF transforms rasterises the input Then i realised this is a channel for beginners halfway through the video lol Though it did seem like one of the better ones of that category

[@elmerghani-piano]

Thank you for your amazingly explained videos for davinci resolve, I'm a follower from Libya 🇱🇾

[@VladFishman]

Great Video! Thank you!

[@RoboCNCnl]

very nice content !

[@MemeSandwiches]

Super helpful 😮 Thanks ❤

[@A_Wise_Masterbuilder]

Yes, do more! Thank you!

[@bradenpintar]

This was a great walkthrough of the "whys" and "hows" of nodes. Thanks.

[@christophergema4645]

Yes please make the animation video! Would be greatly appreciated

[@stewoutdoors3020]

Great Info. Thanks.

[@cheekster777]

Thanks Casey.

[@FranzMetrixs]

Maaaaan do I like when a video has chapters... Timestamps: 00:00 - Introduction 01:31 - Setting Up Fusion Layout 03:41 - Understanding Nodes 07:01 - Node Inputs and Order 14:01 - Creating a Basic Composition 20:01 - Effects and Transformations 25:01 - Masking Techniques 30:01 - Advanced Node Compositions 37:01 - Practical Application 44:01 - Final Tips and Course Promotion Nevertheless, thanks for sharing.

[@alexyorkshots]

Having I was trouble this with but super it's now my mind clear in! Casey thanks!

[@Mrsyedrizvi]

“I was Having trouble with this, but now it’s super clear in my mind. Thanks Casey!”

[@UnK1999]

Thank you, thank you , thank you 💯💯

[@cas_vis]

Thank you!

[@reyvaz2951]

Thank you!!, your videos have helped me a lot to understand this application, what I find hard to understand sometimes is, why people who watch videos on YT, do not help more with giving likes to the videos, thank you very much brother. Part 2 please.

[@noubend8368]

Thank you for super video..

[@UnK1999]

Definitely do a Part 2 please 🤞

[@briantierney6992]

To be continued. Yes please..

[@jaybcreighton]

Thanks!

[@DennisKing]

This was fun, thanks! Watched all the way to the end. Downloaded the media. Ended up with a relatively similar floating cat. edit: Appreciated the tip about Workspace arrangement and holding shift while dragging on a node (so it inserts into the middle of a path). Very handy tips watching the process.

[@KUIKMEDIA]

I must say. This is the first time I will open Fusion and actually do something.

[@CaseyFaris]

👍

[@romainsalmon]

Nice Explanation! Would love to see you illustrate this on an animated party flyer which encompasses a real world use.

[@NukularPower]

would love the see the rest

[@robertmoran]

Excellent. :)

[@user-rj2gz2th8c]

thanks Bro

[@odaybadri8611]

Nice 👍🏽

[@AerialEmber]

I would also be sure to let beginners know that the different in points for the nodes are not fixed. i.e. the foreground/background/mask can move position on the node.

[@VinInTheGarden]

do some more. I watched until the end

[@wayofki]

Casey, I've noticed you make a lot of beginner focused vids. Nothing wrong with that, but it would be great to see some more advanced stuff. Anyway, great vids : )

[@badpixels_]

nice

[@thomasmoreau8297]

you make great videos but damn your personality is entertaining! Equal doses of moxie and sass!

[@LeonCuttem]

DEFINITELY DIDNT KNOW THERE WERE PRESETS FOR FUSION LAYOUTS 😮

[@oriffel]

lesson on keyframes and spline please.

[@challenge_fighter]

I use fusion for a long time and am very proficient. But I still watched the fundamentals.

[@mishsdd]

When does davinci 19 come out?

[@troygee734]

Lol... not the last dragon. Thank you for this

[@j33t78]

part 2 please

[@Vanom_editz]

2nd part please

[@galihkurniad]

Could you please make a series on how to edit like Ali Abdaal, Iman Gadzi, Magnates Media, Vox, and Mr. Beast videos with Davinci resolve?

[@ReidVV]

You are awesome and so is fusion. Recently read a comment saying fusion could not use vector graphics (ai files and svg). What? What's a workaround for this. What about layered psd files. Is there a hack or workaround?

[@astawi1]

Thanks a lot.....still can"t understand difference between apply modes.....normal, screen etc...could you cover that ....have a nice day

[@fortifiedfitnesscoach]

What would you suggest for editing in fusion without the color page mucking up the edits if you use node CST rather than color managed

[@CaseyFaris]

You can use a CST in fusion with the same settings to preview it!

[@dwoodwoo65]

please explain the 3 lines coming out of transform2 (going to corner position, TimeSpeed1, TimeSpeed2). I assume that flow eventually creates three different layers merged one on top of another in merge2, merge3, merge4, and that these merges are all affected by everything before the 3 lines?

[@FloydVDocDeVore]

Always learn about new node. However, the BlueBG node is not showing. I'm using 18.6. Perhaps a difference to version 19?

[@thrivikram6348]

Continue 2 part

[@idegraphicdesign6522]

Continue it please....

[@CypressVanDyke]

do you do one on one classes?

[@CaseyFaris]

Not at this time.

[@CypressVanDyke]

@@CaseyFaris if you ever do, let me know! im into resolve but cant find any classes that suit me right :] because i already know a lot and all the classes are for beginners. do you have any moderate to advanced classes on youtube?

[@arunramachandran3842]

Bro, When we create a 24 fps timline sequence for a movie .which have little different mixed fps clips like 60 fps ,120..etc for slowmotion.should I keep 24fps has timeline sequence or want to convert all footage to 24 fps. Does the slowmotion work great without converting the high fps footage in davinci resolve ? Bro please can you explain?

[@jayhoward590]

Casey… You could never be replaced by artificial intelligence. You’re just too creative. I’ve heard that artificial intelligence can edit a video, but the downside is all the videos look the same. Zero creativity. Stay with it. I see your channel is growing.I’m happy for you. Sometimes, when I use fusion, my system crashes. I think I need a lot more ram.

[@vidcheckr]

I want more Wiener humor! Bring back that dog from space!!

[@glowninja]

when i import a fusion affect from a preset its grey and tells me to pay $299 and is grey and has one connecter pls help

[@CaseyFaris]

Probably needs Studio version.

[@glowninja]

It's so much tho

[@kirbylover37]

​@@glowninjaIt is, but it's a one time purchase, which is incredible, and you're supporting that. Also, you can probably do close to what you want to do with the free version anyways

[@WebDevKev]

Long enough, yes, but with 23 minutes might as well finish it out 😂

[@s.brundlefly7275]

Unfortunately, you failed to answer the most obvious question. Why is the cat purple?

[@bambubombon]

i think i finally un understood it 😅... i promise to do my homework😃

[@MV_Checkmate]

@CaseyFeris I love your expertise and willingness to help however,,, many of us are extremely new to this editor and are looking for guidance from people like you. When you show us new features, you fly through your explanation as though we are 10 years seasoned da Vinci pros and it is extremely hard to follow your speed. Might I suggest you slow down and make your instructions much more basic so you don’t lose people trying to learn what you were showing them. I find myself getting frustrated halfway through your instructions and switching to a different video. Keep up the good work. This is just, my input. Don’t take it in any other way.

[@TACTICALNOMAD]

The simplest way to define it: Nodes are layers. If you know layers, then you can equate the layers to Fusion Nodes. That determines where the node should be.

[@eruptmediatt]

Make this aniimation with me...if you want me to do another video explaining how to make this...*sigh*

[@HippieP629]

So there's been hundreds of fusion node videos. Tons. Maybe the system needs to change so there doesn't need to be so many "explain nodes" videos. Or does that make too much sense?

[@elmerghani-piano]
