[@CreativeVideoTips]

Happy to help!

[@blacksheepdigitalmedia]

Dude I love your tutorials! Your workflow is so meticulous and structured, it's beautiful. And the pacing of your videos is perfect, explaining clearly and just getting on with it instead of labouring the point. Thanks for sharing your skills.

[@isaacbedford3644]

Please keep the advanced fusion tutorials coming

[@batesterman]

Wow, I learned I that my DR Studio license allows me to download and use Fusion Studio. Thank you for the great video. I'll have to watch several times to catch all the knowledge you covered.

A Request: Aces workflow in resolve fusion aces project managed vs fusion studio. The viewer luts are driving me nuts. The workaround with aces transform at the end of the tree is a pain for big comps and ocio gives the most accurate results but have to disable the managed options every single time …

[@imhaidee]

Thanks for this! I’ve always been opening the clips separately in Fusion and then rendering them out and bringing them back into resolve. I had no idea there was a live link feature thanks again!

[@StephenSE9]

Love the PIP in b&W 👍

[@CreativeVideoTips]

Thanks for the feedback. I'm not sure if it helps or hurts and gets in the way.

[@StephenSE9]

@@CreativeVideoTips I think it's inspiring 🌝

[@indfusion]

Thanks for another super informative video. I, too, had no idea that studio users had access and while i don't need to do the connect route now, it's nice knowing why it's useful and how to use it. Your last episode on savers, masks, and loaders was immeasurably helpful right away, and I look forward to what's next.

[@CreativeVideoTips]

Glad it was helpful! Yeah and I don't use the standalone all the time either. For specific projects or shots it is great.

[@Temersson]

Just amazing this work you do for us mere mortals! I know, from experience, that this goes way above your basic editing and/or color grading but, man, it is so helpful and important if one aims for professional work flow! Like I said, the level of expertise is relatively high but you somehow make it sound very doable and your tutos are well planned and easy to follow. You, Sir, are my hero and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your tutorials are very valuable to me.

[@zocuad6710]

I appreciate this video. I didn't know i can download Fusion standalone and use my existing Resolve license. This is so cool.

[@CreativeVideoTips]

Thanks, yeah I use it all the time - especially if I just need to work on a few shots

[@charlespokeradventures]

Thank you. This is over my head, but I loved the video. I knew about getting Fusion VFX; right now, DR Fusion is good enough. Maybe after I retire, I will spend more time on VFX stuff.

[@RasMarty_]

Brilliant Chadwick enjoyed the tutorial learned new hacks that widen my horizon👍✊

[@CreativeVideoTips]

Great to hear!

[@galacticgreg8261]

This was very informative. No one talks about versions or why to use Fusion Studio when you have it baked into Resolve. Your explanation made sense but i was sad that you didn't follow that through and show how much faster it is using this workflow. And what sort of use cases would it make sense to do so.

[@CreativeVideoTips]

Its difficult to quantify the speed of filling the cache because every shot is so different. Rule of thumb is if you can do a quick fix in resolve, stay there. But if its going to be very involved and maybe go through round of client notes - I think fusion studio connect is great for this.

[@maniratnamcreator]

Very good workflow .iam fusion user before bmd acquisition and love this integration of workflow . You explaimed it very well. However bmd should make it more easy to roundtrip to standalone fusion because i have some shots in timeline where 3d compositing os required and with the fusion inside resolve it slows down the timeline very much .i can workwith the vfx connect process but the problem is that the client requires it to be done inside resolve to have access in the timeline if any changes necessary afterwards . Fusion standalone is much much faster than the DaFusion . I love working in standalone version . But it is wonderful on BMD side to include fusion studio standalone in resolve license. Keep more videos coming . You are a very good tutor

[@juanfxblender]

This video is gold!!!!! Thanks!!!!

[@CreativeVideoTips]

You're welcome!

[@WilliamLage]

Very good!! Thanks! I'm trying to VFX connect a clip with timeline audio, but no sound comes out from Fusion. What should I do?

[@CreativeVideoTips]

@@WilliamLage ah. Fusion doesn't actually work with sound. You would need to use resolve fusion.

Great workflow and amazing tutorial, as usual! There's one useful thing we're missing when working this way, though, and it's the ability to easily pass mattes to the Color page. Right?

[@Pinionistus]

I just wish they would allow us to control a bit more about how VFX Connect works, and publish plates. Also, first and foremost - batch VFX connect publish for multiple clips !

[@eriklindahl7376]

22:10 I think for temp media outputs (to VFX, conform for grade) you always want to tick retain super blacks and whites. Your footage can get clamped otherwise.

[@CreativeVideoTips]

Ah good call. Yes. Thank you for noting this. EXR won't matter but for definitely for prores.

[@eriklindahl7376]

@@CreativeVideoTips that could be true. Even with lower quality footage I’ve seen issues with clipping due to lack of this option enabled during media management.

[@mammifero]

OVER THE TOP !!!

[@wm49784]

12:04 when you disabled the render cache (because the video was built in Fusion), I think that disabled it for the whole timeline. Is there a way to disable the Resolve caching behavior just for the VFX-connected clip, so that transition caches etc are still built?

[@mariotriforce]

Bmd really needs to add a timecode checkbox on vfx connect clips 😅 hopefully this year :)

[@CreativeVideoTips]

I fully agree. However I'm not sure they have a whole lot of support for this feature still being done. If you could open a new feature request on their forum that's the best way for them to see what users want.

[@intuitivefilmanalysis]

Thank you for the Video, maybe you could do more Videos on Fusion and some cool stuff you can do with it!

[@CreativeVideoTips]

Thanks for the kind feedback. I have so much planned!

[@gevalddd]

Fantastic information thanks! But why not just use the fusion page for a faster workflow? Ram?

[@CreativeVideoTips]

@@gevalddd thank you! Fusion in resolve is good too. This tends to do better with bigger comps. The great thing is they are nearly identical in function.

when create vfx connect he open document folder can you help me please

[@nitromusik9275]

Thanks for the great video! Can someone explain the difference between the fusion tab of resolve studio and fusion studio?

[@CreativeVideoTips]

Absolutely. Thanks for watching. The main differences are that not all the resolve fx are in the stand alone. Fusion. Studio has free network rendering to allow multiple computers to render a single shot. Standalone has some easier to use proxy function and is lightweight. One shot per comp project file.

[@nitromusik9275]

Hey thanks a lot 🙏🏽

[@Divyv520]

Hey creative , really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you with more Quality Editing in your videos and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail and also help you with the overall youtube strategy and growth ! Pls let me know what do you think ?

[@CrystalVideo-ud8ky]

This video is very Good Thanks🙏

[@CreativeVideoTips]

Thanks to you

[@eriklindahl7376]

I’d love if BM incorporated this version management for any external file. A think a lot of people work in conjunction with After Effects / Nuke / Mocha etc.

[@CreativeVideoTips]

I think there is something to this. However you can hack this fusion folder by placing any After effects renders in it and using the version numbers. You just have to first create the vfx connect clip.

[@eriklindahl7376]

@@CreativeVideoTips interesting. I’ll have to investigate that “hack”.

[@bartubiber]

perfect content 👍

[@SashaZhdanoff]

Aww finally we got After Effects type workflow for Davinci coool ) is it new option or it was possible all time before?)

[@CreativeVideoTips]

Funny enough this existed before fusion was even part of resolve. It worked with avid. But its really under utilized. Very much like a dynamic link.

[@SashaZhdanoff]

@@CreativeVideoTips I’m working in DaVinci only two year and eight year before I used premer ) so for me it’s looks very similar as AE and Premier combo ) may I used it in same way for transitions too ?

[@mrshaheedmalik]

As a feature, Fusion should automatically change the version name of the render instead of having to manually change every time.

[@JoelPurnell]

This is great! I’ve really got into Fusion over the last year but haven’t ever used the standalone version. Downloaded after watching this, but it just gets stuck on initializing and never loads. I’ve tried rebooting and uninstalling and reinstalling several times with no luck. I’m on an M2 Ultra Mac Studio. Anyone had the same issue? Thanks.

[@jimyhustle]

sorry i'm a newbie but isnt fusion integrated inside davinci resolve so why export to fusion studio. is fusion studio diffrent to the fusion inside davinci resolve studio?

[@dragonstone6594]

I think your problem is that you're using a MAC. :) You can expand with as much RAM as you like on PC. You can even go crazy with RAM, I think last time I checked it went to 6TB.

[@russtvmedia]

What's the difference between Fusion Studio and Fusion Render? Do I need to install both of them?

[@CreativeVideoTips]

The fusion render app allows you to render from another computer with image sequences to a shared network storage. Its great but not needed unless you have multiple computers.

[@alittlestitious8856]

Ive gotta figure out how to make this work smooth. It’s ridiculously faster working in the standalone

[@CreativeVideoTips]

hopefully this tutorial helps - the only big loss for me in working this way is losing the timecode

[@urwaeid319]

Thanks for this really useful explanation. There is a problem that we always suffer from when designing some texts and graphics in 1920*1080 horizontal dimensions, but when we change the dimensions of the timeline "square dimensions for example" these elements become crazy! Isn't there a solution to be able to transfer this graphic easily between several timelines

[@CreativeVideoTips]

I I know what you mean. They have to be remade for each aspect ratio. Resolve is resolution independent but not aspect ratio.

[@MilanKarakas]

Please help. Unable to solve problem.

[@Pizzafromthepresident]

hello i really need help with training and jobs. I have zero clue how to get the proper training and then finding work with it. I'm pretty familiar with resolves processes.

[@sleepsoundly4728]

Can you make a video on saving effects like settings on the inspector, for example changing size and saving that effect without using a adjustment clip, something that you can just click, i use avid at work (tv network) and bought davinci resolve studio to do eveything at home, but the inability to save an effect that you can just click and is added to the clip makes it useless if i'm trying to be fast

[@CreativeVideoTips]

Great suggestion.

[@sleepsoundly4728]

@@CreativeVideoTips Thank you

[@russtvmedia]

I didn't know if you had the studio version of Resolve, you can use the full version of Fusion. Thanks for that info. But Fusion won't open. It just cashes! I'm on a M2 Mac Studio with 128GB of ram. Is there something stopping Fusion from opening?

[@CreativeVideoTips]

I have that happen sometimes. Try crash quitting from the activity monitor and double click the app in the apps folder again. Not sure what causes this on occasion.

[@ArseniyS-xr1dl]

Personally prefer standalone version due to my workflow, being completely CGI. I don't need edit or grade or sound till very-very late in the game, and they're always in the way when I work. + I hate the media management in DaVinci which messes with my folder structures, environment variables, and automation. When I used the free version I always used to have dummy project, and was absorbing the media through read node.

[@intuitivefilmanalysis]

Another Questions: Is the RAM improvement the only reason for using Fusion separately? I have a M1 Pro Macbook 16Gb and I get max 9GB RAM in the build in Fusion and in the separate Fusion its greyed out and I can only get to 9,6GB RAM... So its not much improvement, right?

[@PTFWWDB]

I've been looking online for an hour how to change the pink lock vertices. all I want to do is add a bezier to a position keyframe. people saying you cant it's displacement. wtf. I can't see anywhere for Convert to X Y , Fusion sucks

[@CreativeVideoTips]

you can do this for the point tracker with a right click - the planar tracker is a black box

[@PTFWWDB]

@@CreativeVideoTips I'm talking about doing bezier curve for transform movements BUT I discovered that I need to use the Other Transform Node and not the XF one

[@MilanKarakas]

This is stupid. I bought Davinci Resolve long time ago. And now following your advice, installed new 19.1.1 version - and they want me to buy it again. And also does not work anymore. unable to open any video file recently edited.

[@MilanKarakas]

What now????? Deleted this new version, and lost everything.

[@chillywilson]

Nope, I would kill my contractors or lancers if they did this again. Just import the footage into fusion and replace it in resolve, hard drives are expensive and the fact that it needs to dup footage to make plates is horrible and dupping footage that's in 300gig per shot and keep it linear out for final grade will bloat your projects so much.
