What is Black Magic Fusion

[@Kholaslittlespot1]

I'm really excited to start working with fusion. I had no idea it was a free license!

[@arvidvanthorre6547]

fusion is great i used it at the moment for all my vfx projects

[@FernandoDeLaCruzProductionsLLC]

do you know of great master classes that go in depth for fusion? There's a lot for after effects but only bit and pieces for fusion

[@Michael-NZ]

It’s a great way to learn Fusion to maybe put together a beginners Fusion class

what is the best recourse to learn fusion ?

[@randirafaeli]

Thank you so much for this vid, now I've made up my mind. I am so surprised that black magic is relatively cheap compared to after effect because it's a perpetual license and not a subscription based software. And also seems like an amazing tool.

[@borahcn]

@Haifeng Zhu prob Fusion since it’s node based

[@BioSoftStudios]

Been using fusion 9 since 2015, I love it plus it’s WAY cheaper than nuke, i recently upgraded to fusion 17 and I’m loving the new VR tools they have to offer

[@ashdalat.]

Can i ask? The Fusion tab in the davinci is the same with the software you are talking about? And do i just need to learn it to do those cool effects in the movies?

[@cristal9841]

@@ashdalat. (I think) Yes. Theres one inside of davinci(i use) And a stand alone fusion page.

[@Dylestocolors]

@@ashdalat. Fusion in resolve and fusion studio are both the same software, although fusion in resolve is like a lite version and fusion studio is more robust, handles big projects better and has more in depth tools.

[@maddiehad]

also it was used in many of the Missy Elliot music videos back in the day.

[@nikolaostsimpetonidis4243]

Very good info, many thanks! Would you be so kind to advise/give your opinion as to why fusion is not used as much as Nuke nowadays? I mean it is as I understand the same capable software, however the majority (if not all) of the vfx post house use Nuke as their main compositing software, which makes em wonder, why? Thanks again for your time and effort :)

[@hendrikproosa]

Strangely enough most of the feature film shots that are showcased here are comped in Nuke, only exception seems to be Anonymous (from 2011). Fusion might have been used in productions of these shows (usually in stereo conversion pipelines) but so was MS Word. Fusion is nice but it is misleading to show shots not comped in Fusion as “done in Fusion”.

[@ChaojianZhang]

That's the first impression I got when watching the beginning of the video. I always thought those were done in Nuke but the video says otherwise.

[@ChaojianZhang]

When judging which software to learn, the most direct reason I am considering Fusion right now is Nuke is prohibitively expensive, and one will consider Adobe products as only the last resort.

[@shahriartanvir977]

@@ChaojianZhang Nuke's online courses are as expensive as the softwares. I failed to find a good course with a reasonable price for the beginners. The one in Udemy is all over the place. Money wasted!

[@villain42]

@@ChaojianZhang nuke has a free learning version and a cheap indie version. the normal license is indeed prohibitively expensive!

@@shahriartanvir977 you didn't even check out foundry's webpage!? they have hundreds of hours of free tutorials here on youtube! :D

[@juanromero-fi2cf]

I love fusion network rendering, with 2 gaming pcs as side assists is a powerhouse

[@MePepsy]

fusion is great software, too I don't know to use it that well, and it is hard to find good tutorials.

[@rafopics5467]

It's true :/

[@RavikantRai21490]

I think their official training book is the best way to go about it. There's hardly anything better I could find.

[@mentalraystudios766]

Perfect VFX channel.

[@samthesomniator]

Incredible that this is the stuff behind Marvel and it is free for everyone. 😂 You can do all that, with Blender, Fusion, DaVinci and a lot of time. 😁😅

[@bradstoonz4703]

Black magic has a free and a paid version too

[@Michael-NZ]

yes, Im graduating soon, I get Adobe CC for free while there, but there is no way I'm paying 40-50 per month for Adobe CC. not unless a client is paying well for a project. So looking for free, cheap alternatives.

[@cristal9841]

And a beafy as PC

[@cristal9841]

@X D maybe. But I have a 4gen i5 with 16 gigs of ram laptop. Trust me, I have way more issues and crashes with it. Fusion is optimised but that being said, you can expect to make some what okayish work on my laptop. 3d is a complete no go. And I have to edit on 360p. 720 is a no-go. I get what you saying but. There's a limit

[@cristal9841]

@X D das why I'm learning it. Slowly. I got other classes but VFX I likey

[@ChaojianZhang]

Thanks for the info - would be extremely nice to cmopare/provide some context with Nuke, since that name is heard a lot and it's kinda confusing the difference and applicability between the two!

[@randirafaeli]

Good info, I was really hesitant to buy the license for blackmagic but watching your vid I'm probably gonna do it.

[@jeffreyspinner9213]

You can do everything but export above 720p with the free version. At least that's my understanding. Unlike Nuke, which is so hobbled, you can't even learn the real stuff because you don't even get access to the real stuff to learn on their "apprentice" type license, like HoudiniFX allows, and HoudiniFX people can't take or make jokes. They are way too serious.

[@maphyous228]

I'm not sure if you purchased yet, but The speed editor alone is worth it now.

[@villain42]

@@jeffreyspinner9213 what is THE REAL STUFF which you miss in the free/indie version?? can you be more specific?

[@Dylestocolors]

@@jeffreyspinner9213 when you buy a license you will get fusion studio aswell as resolve

Tut, please make a video on what could blender do to make their video sequencer as competitive as Adobe premiere and resolve.

So Which One is best? Black Magic Fusion or Foundry Nuke ?

[@arvidvanthorre6547]

Nuke but fusion is amazing but i find that nuke give the user more control

[@blackman96ify]

Fusion

[@Michael-NZ]

@@rano12321 good answer, love to be in the place where $10k is play money but $300 goes a lot further and I'm guessing that to learn the basics of some VFX, thats all you need.

[@Sccoropio]

is it the same as the fusion in davinci resolve?

[@annekedebruyn7797]

It's not exactly the same.

[@jeffreyspinner9213]

Resolve 16 is my Nuke, because I can't use software without all the stuff that makes it useful...and I don't have a billion dollars to waste. Even Disney no longer has a billion dollars to waste!

[@silentwraith3464]

Is fusion an alternative for after effects?

[@jascrandom9855]

Yes, and of Nuke.

[@MrAkkArt]

You can say fusion is between nuke and after effects but I'm most cases it's close to nuke than after effect..that's my opinion.

[@karishcool3367]

Node based composition is more powerful when compared to layer. Fusion is more kind of alternative to Nuke rather than Ae. Still Ae has its crown for 2d motion graphics.
