[@paularized1]

For anyone wanting to learn how to do this, don’t just watch the 11 minute video and expect it to sink in. Casey says to follow along in Resolve and he’s absolutely right. For every step, do it yourself several times and play back the section until it clicks. It’ll take you a good hour to get through the video but you’ll learn it vastly faster this way. With anything you want to learn really.

[@davefoc]

Yes, I just spent an hour and I only began to make progress towards the end. When I tried to do it myself I got hung up on stupid little things that I wasn't doing quite right. If you can watch this video being stone cold new to fusion and get it immediately you are doing really well. I definitely was not that fellow. ETA: the video did an awesome job of introducing the basic ideas of what was going on. Sometimes that can be the hardest thing when I am starting to learn something new.

[@bruceheid1647]

I have been using Davinci Resolve for about 2 years, but I have always avoided Fusion because it looks sooo complicated. In 11 minutes you have taking away that fear. Thanks, I will re-watch the video & practice on one of my own projects. Many thanks!

[@EHBRod13]

I second thissssss

[@DeGuoTaiKe]

Same for me! Did not think its so easy!

[@danny_racho]

How do you avoid using fusion? I just started using the software Davinci Resolve and immediately started with fusion. Are there other options?

[@_kiaz_]

@@danny_racho Maybe all they did was just basic editing.

[@mattlewin72]

I was brand new to fusion three weeks ago. Thanks to you, I am producing ever more spiffy YT videos. Your ability to jam an incredible amount of information into short videos is astonishing. Thank you so much.

[@trin-is-late]

I have tried to watch so many of these tutorials. So many are completely out of date, or assume that I already know how to use Davinci. I LITERALLY shouted "it's working!!" right before you shared that Anakin clip. I can't thank you enough for this.

[@CaseyFaris]

👍

[@Zaron_Gaming]

There's a reason why i suggest you to every person considering youtube and video creation, you are such a gentle teacher and take the time to explain stuff that others may assume viewers already understand. Take the using nodes part, you didn't have to show if you connect them it works and if not it won't and left it to us to figure it out by testing but you took those extra 30 seconds making such a big thing so tiny and easy to understand. Such a gentle approach that makes listening to you something that is less work more fun.

[@CaseyFaris]

Very kind, thank you!

[@timokaiser]

VERY cool, Casey. This is the type of tutorial that I love to see from you. Not a "Short", not too overwhelming either. Soooooo good!

[@austydurnin462]

(Possibly my first ever comment on a youtube video) This is by far the best tutorial for jumping into fusion. Thank you Casey for teaching it in a way that is super easy to digest.

[@CaseyFaris]

You're very welcome!

[@goldlicht]

I'm just about switching from many years of After Effects to Fusion and this was the first I clicked on :) Thanks for a great 10 mins that already gave me a lot of "Aha" and seeing that Nodes are indeed a good alternative to layers.

[@CaseyFaris]

👍

[@grantatherton]

This is what everyone that is new to fusion needs. You explain what you are doing, how it works, and not overloading with multiple things. This is the VideoCopilot of fusion!

[@CaseyFaris]

That means a lot thanks!

[@dcmikeworx]

Casey, you are a gem! I used all of this info yesterday and my world just expanded ten fold. You understand your subject so well that you are able to share you insights so logically and efficiently that it is actually a pleasure to learn. I am so grateful to you for these tutorials and wish you the very best in your endeavours. 🙏

[@jilldominguez]

Thank you so much, Casey. Like others, I've been using DaVinci Resolve for a couple of years now and really had no idea what Fusion was for or how to use it. I followed this video step by step and achieved the same beautiful output. Now I feel empowered and want to learn more. I'll definitely be looking at more of your content.

[@jameswooster4250]

Bro, that just explained almost everything. obviously there is deeper aspects, but you nailed it in 10 min. I literally got Davinci studio minutes ago, and looked for a tut, and you showed up. pure magic. I'll be watching all your vids. FYI, I'm a long time Final Cut Pro user, and I'm excited to learn Davinci and the all of it's features. great job.

[@CaseyFaris]

That's awesome! Glad this was helpful.

[@lavirecord6467]

It’s not the subject that they are teaching u, but it’s who is teaching u. Casey I love this. I know there is something u don’t teach us yet. ❤

[@LuckyLifeTV]

Super Super cool, thank you Casey. I've got the fusion survival guide waiting to dive into, but this is an amazing kick start. Love the way you teach. Respect. Film maker based in Ibiza, started out as a director and producer, but now been shooting and editing for 5 years and just got onto Davinci this year. Your videos are helping me a lot, thank you. Mike

[@dotted8-]

Thanks Casey! You are the best DR teacher on YT in this beginners opinion. Sometimes I start to get a little lost though at around the 3/4 point of some videos as it seems like you start moving a little quicker. You are a great teacher and I’ve learned a lot so thanks!

[@brettdurham8975]

This was extremely helpful. Even took it a step further and added extra to fade in and fade out each of the elements. This tutorial just opened up a whole new world of possibilities for me. Thank you.

[@timelesstalks0130]

I am helpless (or hapless) when it comes to fusion. You are making it look simple, but you are a pro at it. I do hope to learn.

[@SorbetMassaker]

Hey, how is it going for you with Fusion? Today's the first day I'm dealing with it and it seems hella complicated.

[@BobbyMatos]

Thanks Casey, best tutorial on fusion and nodes I’ve see so far. Made it completely doable even for a newbie like me. Well done! 😊

[@nsnpixels]

This was a gem of a video Casey, to get started with motion graphics in Da Vinci and succeed in the first attempt.

[@The-Game-Jammer]

Wow my dude. This was the best video in the field of editing I have seen. You are funny, efficient and clever. I turn off so many educational videos because they take forever to get anywhere and don't explain the thinking behind it. You did it all and so quickly. [Clapping]

[@rohanphaff2640]

10 Amazing minutes! I have been using Davinci Resolve for a few months now (and am now slowly getting the hang of it), and this tutorial has really helped me set the first steps towards the Fusion part of it.Thank you for making it!

[@stevebulawka8265]

Casey, you packed a lot of great info/instruction into a simple and easy to follow 10 minutes.... As always, thanks!!

[@dowhileloops]

This is fantastically useful. Thanks for the video!

[@gpswaraich]

During Covid, I taught myself Adobe Premiere Pro. Later, a friend gave me an old Mac with Final Cut Pro, which I used for three months. Then, quite by accident, I stumbled upon DaVinci Resolve. I particularly enjoy the capabilities of the Fusion page, although nodes initially intimidated me. Now, I'm learning a bit here and there-it's incredible. One day, once I've mastered nodes a bit more, I'm excited to create an amazing intro for my KZbin channel with plenty of visual effects. I will share my concept and hope you will be able to help me.

[@RickHughes-l6t]

Watched a few of your Fusion vids .... (real newbie here) and this one video has helped my understanding the best ..... it's the flowchart approach.

[@vjenkins6815]

About a year ago, my Macbook Pro running Shake was stolen from me. I was beyond angry, because I had finally learned Shake - a discontinued, node-based compositing software - and it is almost impossible to buy another copy because it has been discontinued for years. I purchased a copy of DaVinci Studio and I've been diving in to learn it. Now that I know what Fusion can do, I can finally put that stolen Macbook and Shake behind me. Thank you for helping me move forward!

[@sequimelectronics]

Thanks for the great video. I am teaching myself Davinci and just finished and released a commercial for our little family-owned small business and I hope to learn and apply many of the things you've covered for our next commercial project. Thank you again! - Becky, Manager

[@CaseyFaris]

👍

[@LeoKeli]

Brilliant explainer. I trained on Apple Motion years ago but it never ‘stuck’. Excited to try again with Fusion. Thank you for packing so much information into a short duration and explaining things so clearly.

[@jaime.masdelomismo]

This was exactly what I was looking for. A quick introduction to Fusion. It was a great video going straight to the point... Thank you!

[@cgibyaj]

I was confused about nodes , though it was hard, but you made it so simple that, I can't believe it ... excellent video ...

[@ShotInTheDark]

Everytime i watch one of your videos im amazed at what DR can do, sadly, my aging brain struggles to remember everything you explain, so I end up watching you over and over and now my internal DV dialogue sounds like you !

[@Crankin_Spools]

I appreciate your videos! I just found them today. They are about to help me become a much better content creator for my personal channel. Thank you for taking the time to teach people like me.

[@kevin-haggerty]

Casey I am working on learning the Fusion section in Davinci. It is so daughnting but thankfully you are super helpful. I want to be able to create aweome intros like this for my KZbin channel and i cant thank you enough for all the tutorials you are posting here!

[@CaseyFaris]

Happy to help!

[@lorenasalaparm]

I'm new to the world of editing, and I'm falling in love with the fiusion page because of your channel. And I'm binge watching your channel to learn even more 😂 Thank you for everything ❤❤

[@jdfarmingllc-22]

FIRST 3 Minutes in and I Love this page! First time on your Channel and you used Bob Ross! Sub Immediately. I already understand Fusion and Nodes Better than last few days I have been looking it up. Thank you Very Much

[@MikeKeller]

Wow, this was great. I like how you zip through it all, but very clearly so that I can go back slowly to grok individual bits that don't make sense at first.

[@dwoo101]

Love your work, love the voices and love the video, great work teaching noobs to Fusion things

[@SriMheru]

Yup, this is a amazing intro to fusion and I am brand new to fusion even though I am using Davinci for couple of years.. Appreciate the video

[@Atykifobia]

Literally the best intro tutorial to Fusion, clear and easy to follow with simple examples, thank you so much 🙌

[@designer-photo-video-editor]

I'm new 2 DaVinci (Fusion). Following your video tutorials. Love your tutorials

[@trunghoang7605]

You convey everything so understandably in just 10 minutes.

[@poocky100]

Thanks for the video. It’s the first time someone explains the “why” things are organized in such a way. I’m new to DaVinci resolve. I’m an animation artist and illustrator with a background in classical film animation and I was using lumafusiom to make basic art draw with me videos. I wanna take my videos to the next level so I thoughtd I’d give dr a try. I like it a lot but it is very technical. Thanks again

[@growlfox]

brand new to Fusion, this was a great start to wrap my head around lyric video creation!

[@kieferdowell2620]

Thanks a lot Casey. I'm suuuper new to resolve, but have been following along to a few of your fusion videos because I want to learn how to make AMV's. I followed through with this one super comfortably until about the 8 minute mark and then my mind got a little overwhelmed lol. There's sooo many options, but I managed to get my video just like yours, so I must be doing something right! Thanks so much for your work on these, extremely helpful.

[@CaseyFaris]

You can do it! Keep playing around and before long things will start to click! Make sure to get my 9 nodes workshop, it'll help simplify things a lot too!

[@eimidioskouroi]

Brand new...still confused but not because of your tutorial. Will definitely watch a few more times to wrap my head around Fusion as I've avoided it. LOVE your videos! Thanks!

[@martinscott2190]

Casey....this was really good. I am brand new to fusion so...I had to keep pausing, and rewinding to get all the steps. But, that was helpful. It will take some practice but, I am feeling a little more confident on the fusion tab. Thanks again.

[@themythcorner4522]

Thx Casey, I'm new to editing and choose Resolve as my tool, this videos have been helping me all the way thank you

[@MotoFamMayhem]

I've been working more and more with Fusion every edit thanks to this channel 🙌

[@daichicreatives]

I only picked up video editing a week ago so I was terrified but I'm so glad I looked this up, I feel like a kid in a candy shop XD

[@Talk4Ukraine]

Casey - I am really amazed by the way how you explain fusion and great results. Easy, quickly, informative, funny!! ... Thanks so much!

[@SeanBlantonPhD]

Really great tutorial. I actually had to play it at .75 speed...when clicking on different controls or views, you assume more familiarity of the layout of the fusion screens than I currently have, seeing it for the first time. But, that's not taking anything away from the excellent demo - I'm ready to start my own little fusion project now!

[@Baldwin_media]

super cool, ive worked with photoshop for the last 15 years and im just starting to play around with video. nodes are such a alien thing for my brain.

[@TransientMobile]

Casey, I hope your ground control stuff is selling well. You are fantastic at teaching this stuff. I always love your videos. Educational and fun at the same time. Can't wait for all the new stuff you figure out on there. Thanks!

[@shutterbug49]

a noobi here. Following your channel and learning a lot. Thank you!

[@sebi2205]

Awesome Quickstart! With some (aged and forgotten) after effects knowledge, this gives me everything I need to get started. Thank you!

[@thisisbat]

Starting my fusion journey today! lol

[@camilogonzalez7770]

Hello and thank you for all your videos, very instructive. I have had Da Vinci installed in my computer for almost 2 years, but I always found it to be too much. I recently saw your tutorial/interview with Kevin Stratvart and WOW, it was soooo clear and Da Vinci is soooo much not what I thought. Learning still, but learning nevertheless. This one is very interesting as well. Thanks

[@yakup961]

I am new to the Davinci, honestly (like 2 days). However, I already liked it. I can't imagine movies use Davinci. I would love to learn more now and make a lot of arts using it😮

[@DouglasDoNascimento]

This was a great tutorial. It would be also great to see some green screen + unreal engine scene + DaVinci resolve tutorial. Like creating a video, overlapping it on unreal scene and making it believable with color grading. : ) Just an idea for a future tut. Thank you for all you do.

[@NINETY-97-SEVEN]

Would love to see this as well. Also vfx compositing! 😍👌🏻

[@jasonleivanyc]

This was my first look at using Fusion.. super helpful.. thanks

[@With_bear_in_the_air]

Thanks man! Have been using different video editors, started years back with Pinnacle studio, lately been using very basic Movavi and just now finally got to the DaVinci. Again thanks for your videos, will be coming back for more :)

[@dolphman85]

I feel I understand fusion like 10 times more than I did just 15 mins ago. Thank you so much

[@skiddlybatch]

I’m a brand new user to Davinci Resolve! I love your videos and I’m a big fan of your podcast too. 🎉

[@lionsground]

thanks for this video Casey. I left Adobe (using it for 10 years) and I am now using DaVinci Resolve. Little panic here because I am so used to After Effects and Premiere pro. Subscribed to your channel.

[@CaseyFaris]

You can do it!

[@lionsground]

@@CaseyFaris its a complete disaster. I am trying to add simple text animation on top of a transparent circle. It's either maskin or give me a brain damage because i am figuring out what node can connect with what. I'm afraid I am too Adobe-alized. -- Edit - your video 'All about SHAPES in Fusion - DaVinci Resolve 17 Graphics Tutorial' at 9:25 showed me how.

[@mariusnss8787]

Awesome man! Learned a lot, simply and entertained. You’re great. Cant wait to try this on my first promo film.

[@johnnyangel9343]

Thanks, Casey!!! I don't even use Resolve, but I love your videos about it, especially Fusion, because ONE DAY, I will move. 🙂

[@CaseyFaris]

Yesterday you said tomorrow... Just... Do it.

[@jurijavsenak]

Thank you so much, really good explanation. Makes me rush at the computer immediately! 😊

[@TheAlphiusGaming]

Another Great Video with a lot of info that I just want to go home and apply to my videos :D!

[@djvuorineuvos7627]

I basicly never comment on anything but now i gotta salute you mate, damn u helped alot of understanding fusion! If possible, it would be very nice to get lesson how to overlay bad spots with good parts in video. Keep up good work man!

[@kryvian]

Thanks mate, was a struggle to just get into the fusion part.

[@Meven2001]

Why i didn't go to DaVinci Resolve ? Why i always avoided this software !? It's so natural to do effects like this... Thanks a lot for the explaination. I need to go further to understand how or when the effect do effect (haha) on the timeline.

[@Mary-n9y]

Thank you for sharing you knowledge with us! What a blessing!

[@michaelrowland4021]

Yes I am new to Fusion. I have been watching you KZbin channel and I did subscribed.

[@BigWheelDigitalMediaBAOklahoma]

New to fusion and enjoyed your training video. Great info and pacing. Nice work!

[@CaseyFaris]

👍

[@gameon_ct]

I've been using Resolve for a few years now and I'm barely scratching the surface of what I can do with it. The nodes overwhelm me, layers, like in After Effects seem more intuitive to me but I'll give this a shot.

[@platedpalate]

This was a hella 🔥 tutorial Casey! Thanks for the simple & straightforward explanation ✨

[@NINETY-97-SEVEN]

Awesome tutorial!! Could you also maybe make a tutorial on vfx? Like compositing explosions/decals on a moving / static shot.. which tracking to use and what they all do.. etc etc

[@devingrayman8497]

I'm brand new to fusion, and this video was extremely helpful.

[@CaseyFaris]

👍

[@branisulek]

Black Magic should award you some free shares because you are doing a better job popularizing Resolve than they are... Thank you so much!!!

[@steveking8993]

Excellent intro to Fusion for someone new like me!

[@Mr.mohamedabdou]

Best easiest tutorial, I've ever seen for davinci..so simple

[@CaseyFaris]

Great to hear. Glad you're enjoying it. We also have Fusion full courses on our website www.groundcontrol.film. If you have any questions about those, email [e-mail]. :)

[@reallymedagnabit]

great video.. I am just getting started editing my own videos after years of false starts. This goes a lttle fast for me, but the pause button has helped. I think you do a great job and would love to chat with you briefly to understand your work better as well as suggest a training video that would be intersting to see how to do it.

[@thetpaingoo1109]

Your are the best teacher on youtube casey thank u❤

Sooooo useful !!! Where have u been all my life ?!?! Tks!

[@somebirbyboi3479]

you made fusion so easy to understand, THANK YOU!!!

[@pellythepenguin3558]

I'm new to Fusion. I hope to get great at it!

[@RickHughes-l6t]

More 10-15 mins bytes please - keeping the subject short & focused is really good (esp with sample files we can 'play along' with.

[@ilmkhal]

Great tutorial. Thanks Casey

[@Letsgetscared]

Yep gained a sub. Fusion has always been super intimidating...only used it for green screen and even then I only barely got it right (still hints of green in very micro areas). In my next video, I'm gonna make a title screen and start playing a little bit more with these effects...worry free (kinda).

[@RyRyMohr]

Fusion to me is a bit daunting but it is most definitely something I want to learn and spend some time in.

[@rickbiessman6084]

Fusion just became a lot less scary. =) Thank you!

[@Ghostie.]

Throwing in that Bob Ross quote was clutch, motivated me to continue the video even thought I really don't wanna learn Fusion. :D

[@JaiKumar-ou7sp]

Thank you... Now I got some idea about the fusion page

[@SwanSycorax]

Great little video. Many thanks and keep them coming.

Great video, keep up the great work bud

[@Lunatic-bs9fe]

Hello Casey I'm a new aspiring video editor, I started learning Resolve few weeks earlier using your hour long video about the basics of resolve, and that was great, but now I'm learning how to use the fusion page on Resolve. I must say it's not that easy I'm struggling to use the merge note, Masking tools and others. I really want to do some cool stuff on visual effects and motion graphics. If you post some comprehensive videos on motion graphics, masking tool and merge node that'll be really helpful. I love your content very much, excited to learn from you even more.

[@CaseyFaris]

Oh boy. You should def check out the Fusion Survival Guide: www.groundcontrol.film/survival-guide

[@Lunatic-bs9fe]

@@CaseyFaris I'll definitely check it out. Thank you.
