I can't remember ever sitting down to edit a video and not checking your channel for something new that I can add. Your videos are an invaluable resource! Thank you so much!!!

[@markbebawi]

Wow. I've only been using DaVinci for a few months and spent very little time on Fusion but your videos are giving me a glimpse into the possibilities. I'm approaching the point of understanding how little I know and just how much there is to learn. Thank you!

[@Ermintruder]

The same here! Just using it for two months. And the possibilities is just like the universe, and I have only discovered my own backyard yet. :)

[@101wonderment]

that's like a masterclass for Fusion animation. You managed to cover a lot of the foundations in one fun short video! Thanks a lot! :)

[@_pierre_]

So many different useful options/techniques for so many different projects. These types of videos are more than welcome. Thanks Casey.

[@Lunatic-bs9fe]

Knowing Resolve a little bit I must say to make this there is a lot of thought behind this small scene. Thank you Casey for sharing your knowledge with us, this means a lot to us.

[@JassarDev]

This is insane! Your control over nodes is on a another level. Very helpful! Thank you!

[@foot_portrait]

From all I have seen from you, I must say, you are to DaVinci Resolve (Fusion), what Blender Guru is for Blender. Except without the Donuts! XD Oh my blob, your videos are SO helpful. Your teaching style is amazing. Calm, informative, pragmatic and often spiced with a nice sense of humour. Thanks!

[@CaseyFaris]

Wow, thanks! Love that guy!

[@lorenasalaparm]

Wow, it's so great to see everything coming together at the end. You make it look easy to do 😂 thanks a million, you got a new subscriber ❤

[@thomasamare4568]

Ceasy your videos are outstanding, you are the person who can discuss hard concepts and make them look easy thank you so much

[@ChrisPollard]

Nodes are so powerful, but can really take some time to understand all the ways they can be used too. Great stuff!

[@mrpaulsadams]

Thanks so much once again for these videos Casey. Being able to keep seeing this done and play along has been awesome for getting my head around Fusion. You are a legend!!

[@peterelfman]

Top-tier tutorial. You have quite a few gifts, thank you for sharing them with us.

[@editscali]

hands down you the best. I have learnt so much. MY one take from this video that will transform my work moving forward is the Shift + s and click on a point to make a curve. thank you very much sir

[@DerValiser]

This great for someone who tries to change vom AE to Fusion. Thank you very very much. Great and creative Tutorial.

[@FighteroftheNightman]

This was soooo helpful for a brand new guy i totally understood everything you said and it all made sense and Im a complete noob to this. Ive never done anything creative before until deciding to make a youtube channel (not this account). Ive always done blue collar stuff and was in the army so this is an entirely new world to me at 38. Im going to watch your 9 node video too.

[@chanathipmorths7323]

Thank you for making such a great content! Love your videos.

[@dyloncai]

Thank you so much Casey for the tutorial! Fusion is quite intimidating for me and you made it seem so easy. I'll keep this in mind whenever I need to animate scenes.

[@Magnetar47]

Amazing, amazing, work! Thank you, Casey. I'm learning Resolve and Fusion so unfathomably quickly, thanks to you. :)

[@MikesTek]

you make this all so easy to follow and explain so clearly. Thank you!

[@matoflynn]

This was the nicest Fusion tutorial. Thank you so much Casey!

[@CavernadoEremita369]

Casey, you have the best fusion tutorials! Thanks for this video!

[@OurVoicesOurLives]

AWESOME!!!! These tutorials are helping to ease my transition from After Effects.

[@justanothermechanic8183]

Wow. Thanks man. I'm taking my davinci use up a notch, and you are leading me to it. I really appreciate your effort on these vids!!!

[@skyking95]

Awesome tutorial especially for a somewhat nubie!! Thanks for continuing to give us great stuff!!

[@Post-Alone]

Eeek!! Ive got so much to learn! Great stuff man ❤

[@kjymma]

Casey, you're a magician! It's not just about the amazing things you show us, but also about how you present all the information. There are so many people who also do remarkable things with DaVinci Resolve, but their way of presenting information is... well, quite a bit worse. Thank you for the fantastic video; it took me around two hours to repeat the steps and finally understand what, how, and why works in that specific way.

[@UnK1999]

Casey, this is 🔥🔥🔥 Thank You for the tutorial 💯‼️

[@HavekAttacketh]

This is a great tutorial! Love your videos man! You are like the Andrew Kramer of Fusion! Very entertaining and easy to follow!

[@RJ-Creations]

Many thanks to this great video! Learned a lot this morning. 👍👍👍

[@omatron9000]

This is not my level of editing but definitely this is something I would love to do in the future and your tutorial just makes me believe I can do it !

[@jessicamadsen7092]

I just got Resolve a week ago and was planning on primarily using it for putting together my animation clips, but now I am seeing that it’s capable of SO much more! Thank you for making this easy to follow; it does seem very intimidating to start doing things in Fusion, but with these kinds of videos it makes the process much easier and less daunting. Thank you!

[@Wandering_BI]

Actually many Hollywood movies are made in Resolve, there is really no limit!

[@MilesVanlife]

Again, Casey your tutorial is just in a class by itself. There are very few educators on this platform that can hold a candle to what you’re doing and HOW you’re doing it! Stellar work sir, just stellar! And in case it’s not clear, yes this satisfies your previous request for what is needed in the space. This specific type of content. Clear, simple, and easy to follow. More please. I do have one question about the process and not the result here: Are you live narrating as you’re doing or that’s after the fact narration ?

[@Deankut]

If he's not a board certified teacher I'd be surprised. His teaching style is incredible. Mr. Alex Tech has similar way of teaching. They both hold your attention and teach in a way that is so easily understandable.

[@ideon.synthesis]

Great Work!!! Very helpful and analytical, thank you!

[@videopembelajaranTKhsin]

a new subscriber and thankyou so much! it helping me to make a new animation for kids bcs i work as an animator for kindergarden learning videos and my edit is still stuck until i found this tutorial, thanks alot!

[@sebastianodibusti]

Good video Casey, i learned some new things, thnx a lot

[@user-tr5hn4hg8c]

You are so awesome!!! Thanks for this one!

[@Thebarebones_]

ive learnt so much from your channel.Thankyou..

[@ethannelson8592]

Your channel has been a god send😭😭

[@dcfanforlife533]

This is freaking awesome!

[@stephanebelanger528]

I did it. It took me more then 39 min. But it look great and I learned a lot. Thank You

[@Hongs.average]

This is too cute! 😍 I remember another skibear owns the mountain you made, it is cute too. You have wonderful ideas besides the great skills. Not many good fusion graphic animation tutorials on KZbin. It's not easy to do good works and then teach/present how that works in a cohesive way, thank you for sharing this valuable fusion graphic animation! For your 30 mins video, I need to do many many practices to fully grab it and keep each function in my head🤣

[@DenysLukoshkin]

This is amazing! Thank you

[@insighteins1317]

I love this...!! THANKS!

[@antoniojuntilla5960]

bro your are Superb i follow all your teachings

[@LumaUruguay]

No dejo de sorprenderme de tus vídeos! Tenés un don y nosotros lo aprovechamos! jejeje. Gracias muchas!

[@anastasiav.206]

I got immediate inspiration to create my own cartoon 😮😮❤❤ Thanks

[@chipcurry]

How did you learn all this stuff? Did you just go cold turkey and try to figure it out for yourself or did you go cover to cover with a manual? Excellent job.

[@anastasiav.206]

That animation works perfectly. The only thing I missed and couldn't find is how to make text slowly rise and slowly disappear? It seems I missed something... Does anyone notice that text behaves differently at the end but we did nothing with it.

[@wanzenburg]

Sehr schön, vielen Dank!

[@mooneyfinemineral]

I've been using Davinci for a few months now but this is my first foray into fusion today. I'm both excited and mildly terrified.

[@cameronempey8350]

I’m trying to make photo advertisements with video elements and someone said to use fusion so this was a great glimpse at what is possible thanks

[@hughan00]

Absolutely fabulous video … even though, as a total beginner, I feel like I've been hit by a bus! 😆I'm going to move on now to your 9 nodes workshop …

[@ClaytonsWoodArt]

Great stuff!

[@mahoneimagesphotography638]

awesome!! Thanks

[@ponderwithjess]

amazeballs

[@j5s9c]

Absolutely brilliant! Could I do it.. no, you lost me after 9mins 30secs just as you said "simple" 😀 but to see what is actually possible was really helpful. You show the versatility of Da Vinci Resolve really well. Thank you. 👍

[@NicoleSummer8]

Awesome!👍💪

[@astonemachine]

you rock, thank you!

[@tbowen12]

Thank you!

[@STEAMpuzzle]

Thanks. I made mine. Fun

[@jinkart]

That's cool 😮

[@MyLifefunthingss]

Yoooo my mind was blown when u made the cuddles come from the text with “bitmap” wow, I love DR lmao

[@zacsamuel7295]

I'm going to be 70 shortly. I just want you to know you are my hero. Thank you

[@ChristopherRantall]

G'day Casey :) I really get a lot out of your videos, thanks heaps. I'm new to DR and been using it for around five months, but now starting to explore more with fusion, etc, plus adding plug-in's suggested by you :) Do you do trouble shooting videos? For example, at the moment DR won't save; I go to close DR where I'm asked Save Project Changes > Save is selected, however nothing seems to happen and DR stays open. I have a 2023 Mac with plenty of HDD space available, along with 16GB RAM. Cheers mate :)

[@prachprach429]

🥰good brother thanks for your time

[@CascadesHomebrew]

Thanks! This was a good overview of the the types of animations I could get stated with. I assume for something like that fish, you could draw that in a paint tool or use a graphic file. Trying to "draw" with color panels and masks seems rather cumbersome in Fusion.

[@calaiart]

did you complete the video? where did you find the water splash asset?

[@Behnam_Moghaddam]

i love you!

[@dscreations6903]

thank u sir

[@jemorante6634]

you already simplified all the stuff, but my brain still buffering HAHAHAHHA

[@gransloss]

God bless you.

[@DiligentDad]

I reviewed this video twice. When did you add the animation for the text to warp up with the wave? How do I do it? Anyone know? Casey? Btw, great tutorial.

[@mustafaozcan8589]

Thanks a lot for the tutorial. There is color distortion in the upper right corner at the beginning of this video. It happens in some videos I render in DaVinci. How can I prevent this?

[@peebs-is-sour]

i've learned a lot from your content (crazy how much in the past week i've gotten used to Fusion) but i was wondering if you could maybe make a video on more complex looping backgrounds-- more specifically, integrating shapes, grids, animation, etc. i saw you have something sort of like that, but i feel like you could go one step further. thank you in advance.

[@CaseyFaris]

Great idea!

[@abhaysharma2820]

Words are not enough to praise you for this kind of tutorial but I hope you will post vfx tutorials also so that my compositing skill may better😅

[@immensives147]

26:47 previously Text were normal, and Suddenly They are Animated 😂😂😂😂 Haaa Got him 😅

[@Deankut]

I'm trying to figure out how he did it! It's got to be one of those animated options, IDK. I asked, but I don't think he's going to tell me. 🤣

[@tulpenboom6738]

Unfortunately that's exactly the reason I came to this video. So how *did* you do it Casey? Oh, found it, it's in one of the comments below (search for @Imagoofygoober42)

[@daveruble5150]

So, now I'm imagining making a whole AI animation. You're creating creativity. with your face and your words. It's magic, honestly.

[@kiranrithika8618]

when did you do that text animated? where did i miss the part?

[@Diceonahill]

Thanks for the vid, I used the tips in here to make a small animation for the start of my vids but it's not exporting... (just says it failed with no other explanation) any idea why this might be happening?

[@aboveallaerialimagingsolutions]

Anyway when you do keyboard shortcuts can you say the Mac and windows way please?

[@mikevanchieri]

Up until the 30:00 mark, the text in the title was static, but then from the 30:01 mark forward, the text appears to fold up as the water rises. When/where in the video was this changed/set and what was it changed/set to?

[@darryldouglas6004]

I noticed that too. At 26:33 the text drops into the water. There is a cut at 26:47 and then the word Deep fades in underneath the water. 🧐

[@VISION-IT]

THX - very interesting! Is it possible and can you make an easy SpongeBob, Simpsons character or so ... to use as alittle macot ... ?

[@pixelrancher]

Cool.

[@ItsWindHere]

You've been killing it man

[@AM23.]

Dude that fish was so good 👍 😂I'm terrible at drawring😅

[@clyntonmann1725]

and spelling😂

[@Sooryakids]

1 thing I didn't understand, from where did you get the spash fusion element?

[@samsonAsamuel]

Coming from Blender this is a breeze 😎

[@jamie1377]

is it possible to make an image the fish so you dont have to make it?

[@Qswx23]

Wow.

[@benlaver5257]

Between 26:32 and 26:46 the "Going Deep" text became animated. What happened there and can you tell us how you did it? It looks very nice.

[@Deankut]

He played a little trick on us. If you watch closely, he did a jump-cut a couple of times to hide it, too. I'm thinking that whatever he did involved something in between those edits... Great for his algo and for us learning.

[@davefleury2583]

At what point did you animate the text? Did that part get left out?

[@night_owl3117]

Very interesting tutorial. Well done. I have a question: Is there a reason why you don't use the "multi merge node"?

[@CaseyFaris]

Big reason is you can't tell at a glance of the nodes which layer is on top of what. With individual merge nodes you can look and see exactly how things connect. My brain works better that way.

[@night_owl3117]

OK! I was trying to find a much more complex reason. I understand now, it's because of your brain! 😂Thanks for responding, now I can stop trying to solve the mystery.@@CaseyFaris

[@tatyanaserbul]

Hello! Let me know if you have any videos for complete beginners. Interested in the basics of fusion composition. I have 6 layers on my tailplane. Each of them is animated. But I still don't understand how you can create a composition in fusion so that you can expose some objects on the level or make them visible on top of the image. Thank you!

[@Deankut]

Just search his channel. He has a plethora of free advice. But if you want more of a deep dive, I think he offers courses. His site link is in the description. Best of luck!

[@ysgurjar]

Beginner here. I added text node after bspline and it threw away the entire workflow. the final tree looks the same. Don't know why is this behavior. Help ?

[@evabergengren]

I made it! I made a jumping fish! Following the video frame by fram I finally made it. Two days and av total mess of nodes and connections. I don't remember haft of what happened but I have six seconds of jumping fish!!! Weoooo!

[@CaseyFaris]

That is awesome!

[@lifeinthekingdom8502]

I have question not regarding this video but when using nodes on one timeline when adjusting color it changes in node but not in preview , what is the issue of it not working , wracking my brain to try to figure it out, cant edit the color if i cant see it ,, ugghhh can u help me ?

[@CaseyFaris]

Make sure you're viewing the downstream nodes in your viewers. You can choose what node you view by selecting it and hitting 1 or 2 on the keyboard

[@VinayKumar-1999]

I use synfig studio

[@nad1901]

Hi Casey thanks for the video. But "The 9 Nodes You Need To Make (Almost) Anything in Fusion" video doesn't have a conrols botton to Rewind and Forward etc... and makes the toturial frustrating for the newbe.

[@Deankut]

Ha ha! I believe that is on purpose! Not only is he smart at DR, but he's smart in general!

[@nad1901]

@@Deankutso "Smart" has a new definition now. No thanks!

[@Mastajwood]

How would Fusion handle png sequences? I use AE for comping animation but want to move away from Adobe products.

[@CaseyFaris]

Handles image sequences beautifully

[@gyorfitam]

Is the "ADVANCED FUSION MOTION GRAPHICS TRAINING" still available? When I press the link in the description, it takes me to a general Fusion page and I still can't find this particular training anywhere on the website.

[@mikevanchieri]

@gyorfitam - Take a look at the course called "Pro Compositing & VFX in Fusion - With Lifetime Updates" - There is a "Basic" course and "Advanced" course listed there. Is that what you are looking for?

[@gyorfitam]

@@mikevanchieri I would like to learn about motion graphics in Fusion but couldn't find anything more than few individual tutorials here and there on KZbin. I would like to sign up for something comprehensive but I'm not particularly interested in compositing (yet).

[@CaseyFaris]

If you're into motion graphics, try our Fusion Zero to Hero course. It's very in depth and students are learning a ton of motion GFX wisdom

[@gyorfitam]

@@CaseyFaris Thanks for the suggestion. Nice looking one but I definitely have to plan for this one as it's a bit bigger investment :).

[@bellousow2607]

Hi there I like what you do as un architect we have what we call phasing or concept diagram animation as a new davinci user I made some recherche to find out how to do it in davinci resolve but I find it nowhere can you show how to do it if you want I can give you a simple scene made with 3 PNG to stack and make the animation. Here is a video for you to see what kind of animation that I am talking about.thanks

[@bellousow2607]

Please 🙏
