FUSION PAGE IN (ALMOST) 5 MINS - DaVinci Resolve Basics Tutorial for Beginners

[@RhysFishes]

Casey, we need more of this. Literal step by steps on fusion. What may seem obvious to some, isn't to others so this is great - thank you!

[@shorerocks]

I've seen a lot vids about RESOLVE preparing my bands video releases. Fusion is intriguing. THIS video, that is unbelievable important in understanding the basic logic of RESOLVEs Fusion page. Thank you!

[@qarwill]

Go Team Resolve!

[@qarwill]

Btw, would like a vid on advanced 3d stuff in fusion...

[@ninja_tony]

Heck yeah! I've used Premiere for years and I feel pretty confident in it, though I'm certainly no expert. But as soon as I discovered Resolve, I felt like I struck gold. I honestly like it better than Premiere, everything feels so clean and easy to find, the layout is familiar enough to Premiere, but somehow....just better lol. And the fact that it's not $20 a month helps too!

[@MikeCrocker]

I'm an intermediate user of After Effects. When I fired up Fusion and tried to use the node system I was SO lost, but this clears up a lot! Gonna be weird to remember to drag out masks and text as their own node and not a modifier to a layer, but I definitely see the potential behind the concept. Great video, can't wait to watch the longer version.

[@thankjeb]

I was so intimidated by the fusion tab I literally just avoided all together until I absolutely couldn't anymore. you just simplified this so well you knocked ever ounce of fear right out of me. Thank you!!!

[@tony359]

Very good starting point - I "learnt" Fusion by myself with trial and error and this has given me some important points. Looking forward to watching other parts.

[@DrinkingStar]

You did a terrific job in explaining and demonstrating some basic things in FUSION. What I particularly liked was that you:1) explained the colors for the links; and 2) you said to view the Fusion elements as a Flow chart instead of Layers. I have only worked with layers in PhotoShop and various video editors such as Cyberlink. The only time I used flow charts was in creating computer programs(apps). Thinking differently as how to view the screen where editing/changes are made makes it easier to get one's "head around" the Fusion way of doing things. A big THANKS and Thumbs up.

[@gabequezada2066]

Jesus... This video actually made me understand FUSION so much easier compared to other videos out there on the topic.. Thank you again

[@john-wiggains]

Best tutorial I’ve found yet for me! I’m investigating if I want to switch from FCP. Thanks! That seems less intimidating than I expected.

[@chillieverity]

Thanks for this really clear explanation Casey! I've looked for a very frustrating half an hour to find a super basic video on what everything actually is and how they work together, so glad to finally find yours! Super appreciated! Thankyou thankyou thankyou! (FYI I was looking for the wrong words apparently, I was searching for 'alpha input output Davinci resolve' cuz thats what I heard it being referred to)

[@GeekEKittenGaming]

Omg this was so helpful. I've been wondering how to do this kind of thing in da vinci for awhile. Thank you!!!

[@therealMarcelKleist]

Thank you. This really was helpful. I just decided to give Davinvi a try and was overwhelmed with the Fusion tab. Your video really helped ,e in understanding the basics of it.

[@SongbirdGaming]

Thank you so much!!! Quick, simple, and to the point. I've been using DvR for months but was too intimidated to try anything in Fusion... but this makes so much sense, and I love the quick and simple, to the point tutorial. Most other tutorials were 30 minutes to an hour or more, this was perfect, just what I needed, without extra fluff.

[@jeromeweaver809]

I really appreciate you breaking the node feature down step-by-step. I am new to Davinci Resolve, I worked some of the nodes, but some do not connect with others. Do you go by their colors?

[@cekuhnen]

I love your use of sound effects !!!

[@LemmingAttack]

This changed my life, thanks dude.

[@klaatubob]

Thank you thank you thank you. The detailed explanation of what to connect where, as well as WHY, is fantastic!

[@ianharper6015]

A really clear intro to Fusion. Thank you.

[@ThinkSmartCreative]

You are really great bro!! Joined with you. Please keep making tutorials on resolve 16.

[@TriniWeekes]

Thank you Casey for these 101 type videos. I enjoy and always learn from them

[@ADR69]

I'm familiar with fusion and still learned a lot thank you

[@Docfly62]

You are the best. Thought I had a basic understanding of Fusion and nodes but glad I watched anyway. This just helped me grasp it even more. I haven't tackled a project using Resolve yet. Still using Power Director. Question, can we add titles under the Fusion toolbar icons. Sucks to have to hover over them to know what is does. Not all the pics are self explanatory for a beginner.

[@davidschulder5241]

Great, as always, Casey. A perfect short intro. BUT - Why? I am sure there is / are very good reasons to do this work in Fusion as opposed to on the Edit page. But I think we could do everything you just did - Text / Blur / Mask - on the Edit page. What is the BIG reason we use the Fusion page? Especially for "simple" effects like this...? Thanks again!

[@aaronmarcussutton7999]

Perfect breakdown for a Fusion novice. Thanks Casey

[@3ZZAM]

Thank you soooo much ! I improved my skills in this software so much off your videos , Fusion is where true magic happens . Thanks again !

[@diegrizzly]

Great work always appreciate the time you take to teach us. I was wondering if you have a video or maybe could make on on how to setup videos so they look like a news show with windows and scrolling new tickers and maybe even stock market stuff running on the side? Or anyone that reads this maybe can link a tutorial they know of? Thanks!!

[@wildcreatures9810]

Perfect timing. I’ll watch tonight. Thank you

[@wildcreatures9810]

Ok, this is about my level right now. Thank you!!

[@dbrighurst]

Hey Casey. Love your tutorials. I'm really trying to work more with animating text. I'm trying to find different ways to make it seem to interact with the live-action. One thing I would love to do is shatter text. After Effects seems to be able to do it but I can't find anything on Davinci/Fusion. Can you help?

[@LivingLife972]

this is great, one questsion. how do you incorporate the timing of it all? for example, what if you wanted the text to show-up a certain time in the timeline? would you do that in the edit page? thanks in advance.

[@dekanami22]

yaaaah, wokey.. now knowing how fusion function and using node flow

[@connectwithmayank]

Very useful tutorial, Thanks!!!

[@chrisjohnsonfilms]

How do you have the text fade in and fade out and only appear for a certain of time when doing your example for text in fusion?

[@beedleChompz44]

thank you so much, this was helpful

[@shipswithoutsails]

awesome vid. May I ask, what screen capture software did you use? How do you keep such high resolution and crispness when you zoom in on the screen software? and what mouse cursor did you use? I also do tutorial vids for my job, but struggle with these three things.

[@CaseyFaris]

OBS, with a 4K capture. Zooming with a utility called Glass brick on windows. The cursor hilight is a utility called Pointer focus

[@Probbie]

Brilliant! Thanks so much 👊

[@abdeldiouf3788]

Hey Faris! What do you use for screen recording?

[@BouncingDande]

thanks for the content Casey

[@flaviotaneli9138]

Hello Casey, thanks a lot for this! How do you show all the corrections you did (color, orientation, ...) in the fusion tab ? Only the raw footage is showing :/

[@cekuhnen]

How do you animate / keyframe in fusion ?

[@ediethesalsafreak]

Awesome!!! Thank you Casey! .:)

[@1wayfilms]

Final Cut Pro Should Be The Standard For All Video Editing Programs Cus This Is To Much Just To Do Text And Blur

[@maysonstuck]

Thank you

[@timmygregsonn]

When I press 1 or 2 it opens what seems to be a clip in the window but it only shows checkers and not the actual video.. I cant for the life of me figure this out and no other videos explain it. any help would be greatly appreciated!

[@omundodopaulooupaula]

thank you, great quick explanation of how it works. \

[@RodrickColbert]

excellent instruction.

[@azeril03]

tq

[@gabequezada2066]

question: within fusion and when you created the text, do you add a node to limit the time of the text ? I imagine the text wont stay on through the whole length of that clip. Thank you in advance

[@CaseyFaris]

Nope it stays unless you move it or add key frames

[@gabequezada2066]

@@CaseyFaris Thank you

[@AIgorith]

Hey Casey, I'm currently trying to keep a top layer image in a specific spot on another image and I want to zoom in and to the right and have the top layer image go off screen naturally. Do I use the tracking effect for this? edit: spelling lol

[@arunkumar-tm5qy]

Please make intermediate or advanced tutorials and edit full video how you edit.

[@sixraysproductions]

great job!

[@buda3d2007]

I knew fusion back when alias wavefront owned it, yes originally a companion compositor for Maya

[@sanjeetswain7112]

When using color page, program crashes Please give any suggestions casey... System- ryzen5 2600 (6 core) 2gb graphic GT 710 8gb ram 256 SSD

[@slaww666]

Resolve needs 16 gb ram and much more memory for gpu

[@sanjeetswain7112]

Ohh, thank you

[@hemakodaaa]

im here jsut to feel better about myself that i know all of this

[@johns818]

Your video should have started with explaining the purpose of media in and media out nodes.

[@culturedenny67]

Thz CF Leaning a lot from you

[@Nodirm93]

if you understand more you can do more crazy stuff, looks like wow.

[@plantedinpr886]

Hey Casey, I'm beginning to understand your language. :-D

[@ameliehubert4206]

You're funny too. Thanks a lot

[@anandmghp]

I like you✌️

[@filnn]

Pfft! Thanks for teaching me things you've already taught me, Casey.
