So hopefully in this plain-English tutorial, I'll answer those burning questions and help you get a better understanding of what Fusion is and what it is capable of doing (A LOT).

What is Fusion? It's a rabbit hole! That's what it is! Once you enter ... you, and all your friends, may never see one another EVER again! 🤣

[@tinthefatty]

Holy smoke!! The title of this video does not do justice to its content. That sunglasses shot is dope!!

[@rano12321]

Dr Fusion is the coolest.

[@muhammadasek3153]

Sir please make a video for some new and unique node

[@MrJustinEdits]

Omg that sunglass comp was so clean!!! Excellent video as always

[@yuryruban]

It's great, but the reflections part is missed

[@Pallidus_Rider]

The Mad Scientist should be a regular in all future videos - maybe in B&W and different aspect ratio?? 👍 😎 🤙

[@winscription]

I’m a beginner and I appreciate this video

[@rickpinelli1586]

Casey, one must learn "Nodes" if they want to Color Correct as well....

[@rRT_1]

My life changed when in one video you stated the blue input means "only do it here"

[@amitkumawat2117]

Dear sir you have taught so many times about fusion. We know how does fusion work. We wanna know about nodes. So If possible please make a detailed video about some important nodes. By the way , Love you, and your way of teaching is amazing. ❤❤❤

[@DanBernard317]

You need to check out his 9 nodes free course. It’s excellent.

[@amitkumawat2117]

@@DanBernard317 thanks man

[@homeslice808]

Using Fusion as my very first compositor was a huge deal. I didn’t realize how difficult it could be to learn how to use nodes if you’re used to layers first. Not having to make that mindset shift was a huge advantage

[@ArthurAllen0915]

EXCELLENT I Want To Learn More Input...

[@mellowr1]

I've been using resolve and have started playing with fusion for motion graphics, thanks to all your videos👍I know what i want to achieve, i just struggle sometimes😃

[@palazzoneguiseppe8281]

Awesome 👍👍👍👍

[@iAmAkronox]

Oh man, it just clicked for me with this video. Amazing overview! How dp you manage your assets when using media like the sunglasses/train example? Do you have a "VFX Assets" folder of sorts inside of your project folder?

[@daveruble5150]

My man! You're the best.

[@badpixels_]

Wow! Master

[@reyvaz2951]

Thanks my friend, Dr Fusion said that, you are running out of videos that continue to explain, the basic theories of the program, he thinks, it's time to step it up and I agree 100%

[@gregboyce360]

I have a blast of fun, and challenge, working in the 3d workspace of fusion with 360 video.

[@TGAV8]

Sweet

[@patahel]

I think you've convinced me to switch to Davinci Resolve. Exactly because of the Nodes which I know from Blender. (Ever since I was introduced into Nodes, I wished that apps like Photoshop support nodes too... so much easier... (ok, I'm a developer, so makes sense... LUL )

[@JoshuaS-P]

in your course, do you learn to build buildings like the one in the picture 1:13 ?

[@eie_for_you]

Fusion Comp using a PNG file as the foundation ... this image is sprinkled through a project in several Fusion comps. Ooops, there is an error in the image of the PNG file. Open PNG file in a photo editor, fix error. In DaVinci, go to Media page, replace clip with edited clip. Now a bunch of the Fusion comps do not work right ... UNTIL you open each one individually. This seemed to heal it.

[@CheoWalker]

At 8:57. I think you forgot to add a link to the "Food Metaphor" video.

[@saikoumarong190]

First to comment, Love from Gambia.

[@Zizos]

Fusion and resolve need some clean up and updates! Been needing that for years but we can't do anything about it since we only paid once. I love DR, but it needs work.

[@jaydun6106]

Do you have a video on understanding nodes for people stuck in layers like me?

[@CaseyFaris]

Yes! Check out my recent Toast video!

[@peterkertesz2861]

What mic are you using when recording the KZbin videos?

[@CaseyFaris]

It's an audio technica broadcast mic they don't sell anymore. They have one that's like a podcaster mic or something that looks similar tho.

[@shawncolonna5644]

Would Fusion be used to create the high end motion graphics we saw during the Superbowl, as an example.

[@rano12321]

yes, it has been used in 1000s of hollywood movies for both compositing and motion graphics such as huds in avatar 1.

[@rano12321]

You should do Fusion Studio tutorials sometimes in future.

[@CaseyFaris]

Ya know I just haven't found a compelling reason to do so. I just never use standalone, and I've really tried to be a cool kid and get into it, but... I don't see the point of it.

[@rano12321]

@@CaseyFaris Well for me, it's a lot faster and takes a fraction of ram when working and it also works a lot better when I'm working on bigger dedicated comps especially working with CG-live action comps and also the standalone version has the primatte keyer and also unlimited render nodes but I can understand it's not gonna be necessary for majority of people.

[@binvids]

Could you please prepare a full course tutorial video on motion graphics and vfx from scratch in fusion. I mean a beginner to advanced level thing. Even if its a paid course I would like to buy it, please reply 🙏🙏❤️❤️

[@CaseyFaris]

The course is called Fusion Zero to Hero its perfect! www.groundcontrol.film/fusion-zero-to-hero

[@binvids]

@@CaseyFaris thanks a lot man❤️❤️

[@rano12321]

Fusion is gross and over complicated and confusing when you're new to it but once you learn the basics, it's the best thing in the world and you'll use it for everything.

[@user-rl6dz9me1i]

Would you say that you can do everything in after affects also in fusion ? (For me i want to do car edits with the most trendy effects)

[@rano12321]

A lot more than that.

[@benhall3995]

No. While there are things that you can do in Fusion that blows away Ae, the shape layer and text in general are a couple generations beyond what you can do with text in Fusion.

[@julie_EnRen]

Fusion: it’s a thing that I avoid touching 😂

[@Gedaly]

Does Dr Fusion need any interns? I wanna work in that lab

[@galimirnund6543]

Well, I just got this program. I got all my bins made put appropriate media in them. I edited for a bit and decided to restart. I restarted and now all those bin are gone???? So, it doesn't save over to the next project? Now I have to set it up again...I'm a noob..

[@CaseyFaris]

You're looking for power bins. Google that, and you can set them up. Regular bins are specific to that project.

[@IamS.S.I]

👍👍

[@RocknRollCEO]

What is Fusion, how do you use Nodes, fuck man! It's a mystery! It's a mystery wrapped in a riddle inside an enigma!
