In this video I go over the #1 problem I see most people having when foing VFX in Fusion. And it all comes down to thinking too much about how good you think it has to be. The truth is, you can get some pretty amazing results with a fraction of the effort, if you know a little bit about how to think like a compositor. And if you're wondering "well, how do I think like a compositor?" then check out our Fusion Zero to Hero course, where we dive deep into the compositor's mindset!

Just listening to you talk about the psychology of "perfect vs good" is worth watching this video alone. Love spending time on your channel Casey :)
I sit and shake my head at how free 'n easy you make some of this and always with hellaciously good advice. Thanks for the work, Casey, awesome.
Yes! Fantastic approach and tutorial.
Also as someone who works in VFX, this approach is also done on "big movies" all the time! Especially FX stuff like water splashes, dust, smoke etc. if it's not interacting with other elements, and it's small enough, then it's just 2D elements from FX libraries etc.
If it's good enough for million-dollar-blockbusters, it's good enough for you.
Work smarter, not harder.
👍
Casey, you're insanely good at what you do, while providing the confidences to others how easy it all is. Thanks!
rule 1 in building an effects shot: manage your expectations (or theirs!) around time & budget.
shot like this sells perfectly well without any real complexity, & it hasn't even got the audio or any additional haze/dust on it yet. bravo.
Very helpful Casey! I'm super glad I stumbled over your channel!
Just fantastic! Thank you so much! I'm sooooo glad I switched to DaVinci!
This is actually insane. Never thought of using Fusion but now i consider trying it. Thank you!
That's awesome! Yah, Fusion is great.
THIS!!!! More vids like this please!!! 🙂
Again great stuff Casey you have the gift of explaning the most complicated topics in an easy to digest way
What a great technique. One that can be used in so many ways. Many thanks.
Great tips!! "The Frugal VFX Artist" series is born 🤣
This was subject was literally just on my mind and you just changed my perspective. I appreciate that!
Wow, that's inspiring! Kudos for teaching that. For not overcomplicating!
Brooooooo... Saving this bad boy and trying it later. That ship is very convincing. Dang. Thanks!!
This is good one! Very Straight forward!
Got the brain working.
Thanks John
Wow awesome tutorial
Thanks Casey!!! Great advice.
The rule of diminishing returns Vs Being the best.
Whether it's running a marathon or taking a photo at a concert it takes so much more effort and dedication to be perfect. Many will give up if they can't be the best but these people often miss the point which is the joy in taking part. The good enough threshold still requires effort but not the obsessive dedication needed to be perfect. It's better to finish that poem, piece of music or art and get it out there than hang on to it trying to make it perfect.
Great video and an inspiring attitude!
Nicely done sit!
you sir are such a good teacher!
Especially when you add the motion blur, depth of field effects - it can be amazing what you can get away with.
I struggle with it myself, so I always try to push myself - look at other ways of getting things done.
thank you... i have always wondered if i wasnt working hard enough..lol sometimes if its just a couple frames bad is fine
Thank you Casey.
Yes! Great points, Casey. Not only is this approach faster and, in most cases, simpler, but it reduces the amount of processing required to render the scene, which also speeds up workflow especially on lower-powered computers. To further reduce processing load, you could take the photos into Photoshop and do the key and garbage matte there, then render out a transparent png. Another thought I had was if you had the model to photograph in the first place, you could also film the shot with a camera on a gimble and comp that shot onto the main footage. That would make more complex shots more realistic without having to know 3D tools. As you said, there's always more than one way to pull off a shot or effect.
Very cool. Thanks.
Very helpful tutorial and for my point of view a professional approach. I am pretty sure that this kind of approach is also used in expensive movies to save time and money for effects that are not in focus like that Fighter flying in the backgound. Really cool!
very helpful content, thx a lot
The thing with fusion is.. youve got to basically be a professional vfx artist to do something like this. The depth and structure of fusion is such that you need to live and breath fusion just to understand it. Many of us who do solo work would need to spend shitloads of time just to make something basic.. on afterfx however I found myself easily being able to make something like this even with my basic afterfx knowledge.
I don't think that's really true, it's just a different way of thinking. Yeah, Fusion is more complex than After Effects, but you can have quite a basic understanding of Fusion and achieve some pretty great stuff, as long as you're not trying to make it how you would in After Effects.
Amazing
Yo, bro... you earned another (and i lost count...) of my WTF with your amazing knowledge and way to explain. Thanks a lot...!!
Just to add a little more sauce to the noodles here, you can actually do a duplicate effect to the wings to "extrude" them a little to give them some volume as well
Casey out here teaching us how to superimpose tie fighters on our footage with PS1 level graphics. I love it
Way cool!
Thnx-a-Ton Casi!👊
Da Force is strong with Shadowmaker😂😂😂
Epic ❤
Interesting. I just took some shots of my Star Wars Corellian Corvette miniature to try to get it into Resolve. I'm new at Fusion, and yes, it scares me sometimes, but I want to learn it. :)
You could displace 3D the cockpit with a eroded/blurred matte of the cockpit itself to make it even more 3D/ round
wow. I'm as impressed as i am intimidated.
this was *really* good :) Trick is to always try for good enough, and only when that is achieved go for the *better* ;) Then, over time, better will be the new good enough, and you can then try for *even better* - and repeat until awesome is achieved, or move on to something else :)
Hi Casey can you please do an update on the tracker in version 19? Nobody else has yet, and it is different than in version 18... Now it is called "intellitrack" and you can't adjust the size of the track box.... YOU'RE THE BEST!!!!!
I haven't used it much but there is a duplicate function that you can use to make the wings look thicker. I used it once to make a logo 3D. If you have a top and bottom photo you can actually create a better 3D model of it. 🤔 Thanks! This has given me so many ideas!
👍
following and applying the *Pareto Principle* will probably keep most people sane and give good results
in my early days we taught "Relative Perfection" the highest quality level you could afford in $$ and effort.
Would like to see you revisit 3d composition. ie tips on moving and aligning objects lights and cameras on a plane or in a sphere. Can you lock parts of scenes?
I worked in IT for many years. We referred to the quality cost ratio as the 80/20 rule. You get 80% quality for 20% of the cost. The remaining 20% costs 80% of the money.
Casey, this is helpful, but also it isn't very easy for me. How do I sign-up for your class?
Bro! Damn!
A long video plss for fairlight page
What you're describing is the 80/20 rule. You get 80% of results from the first 20% of effort. To get the next 20% of results takes another 80% effort.
You changed my mind. Make me think about game optimization lol
Intellitrack tutorial please
LOL I literally just spent 2 days animating a tie fighter in Blender for 40 frames of video, had no idea you could do this in Resolve. Can Resolve do explosions too?
I set the bar for VFX crap with "Star Trek - The Gorn VS riding lawn mower battle scene" done with an early version of Vegas Pro.
How do you edit your client's videos? Put his video. Please we need the tutorial
Couldn't you have done a small extrusion of the wing to get it looking better head-on?
I might be too much of a Star Wars fan, but the Tie Fighter is actually upside down. The laser cannons are supposed to be at the bottom. Flipping it around will definitely destroy the illusion shadow wise. But apart from that... This was indeed a very useful tutorial for the perfectionists among us.
Ya nerd! But correct 😂😂😂
The enemy’s gate is down
Ironically, with the exponential advancement of AI in everything, we'll soon be able to just type in "tie fighter" and have it perfectly integrated into a scene.
I know it's opposite to the spirit of this video but I'd actually like to know how to import and use 3d models in davinci ^^'
😳
It's like you're inside of my mind.
That's something inspiring. BTW whenever I tries to go in fusion with chatgpt, It all ends with a way too cringe edit, removing the clip from the video and cursing chatgpt (not very badly). But now I don't have to do something crazy just create something good enough. Not relying on chatgpt to give me step by step guide to create my imagination.
me crying and laughing at the same time ps. i learned da vinci 3d for what
I LOVE CHEATING!
Not the best analogy, because with AI.... typing "Tie fighter" into something like Sora might trump whatever you spend a tonne of time on in Fusion, lol.
When thinking about your "Good enough", I remembered Pareto Principle (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_principle).
