I recently made the switch from the Adobe Suite but was struggling to understand nodes. This video relating the two workflows was SUPER helpful. Great video!
Thanks Michael. Glad to hear it helped. Nodes are super powerful once you get to grips with them. If there's anything specific you'd like to see, let me know.
Until recently, I used FCP+Motion and I'm also a big Apple fanboy. After studying Davinci Resolve with its Fusion tab for several months, I'm not going back to FCP+Motion. Now it's much easier and faster for me to work in Fusion. Thank you for your content and a nice smile =)
This video was a life saver. Really helped me to Click the nods in my head as well understand the viability to completely replace after effects for my needs. Thanks man, doind gods work here.
This tutorial is both extremely helpful and extremely well done. Concise, well thought out, and perfectly descriptive. The accent is just a huge bonus.
Thanks so much for this video! I've been looking for a good replacement for AE for a long time. I've been using DaVinci Resolve as an editor, but the integration of Fusion makes it a dealbreaker... I'm sold.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for doing interesting, informative videos for professionals without goofing off and acting silly (like many other Resolve TH-camrs) Keep it up!
im still using premiere pro but i want to change to Da vinci resolve. ill come back later when to learn more about fusion because your explanation is out of this world.
I have to confess, even though I commented on this video 2 months ago, I never got around to actually finishing the full thing and it's been starting at me at the bottom of my watch later playlist that whole time. Finally got to it today and now I'm excited to play around in fusion, wish I got on this earlier aiya! The node system got me excited, gotta look for a good full fusion interface walkthrough now, you made it much less scary than it used to be. Whenever I'd accidentally click on the fusion tab I'd think "I'm not supposed to be here 😳". Now it's gonna be "what can I make 🤔". Reminds me of when I first learned after effects, so it's kinda nostalgic in a way! I also just want to say If BlackMagic ever goes downhill and I have to switch AGAIN, it's kinda beautiful to know that people will always find a way to adapt to new working environments. Thanks again for the video Ryan, your camera setup is really pleasing to look at too btw, fits the gradient theme of the vid really well. 👍
Thank you so much dude! That’s such a lovely comment to read and I’m super buzzed for you that you’re learning a new skill. Fusion is great! Welcome to the club 😊😊
I was still confused about fusion after watching lots of videos on YT. But after watching your video i am clr how it works… You rocks bro..keep making amazing stuff
But After Effects is better in many aspects. I can’t understand this hype about Fusion in recent time. Two main advantages of Fusion are: 1) It’s free, 2) Nodes. All other features are worse than in AE.
I was a long time Adobe subscriber, but ever since windows 11 I switched to Linux, now I can happily say that I removed windows completely from my old hard drive, I got 50 bucks a month extra and also have 1TB more for my davinci projects and footage. Thanks for the tutorial, very nicely executed.
I have been scared of the fusion tab. My previous experience was with After Effects and Fusion just seem soooooooooo differnet and complicated. Thank you for your video and explanations. They are AMAZING
No Disrespect to Casey Ferris or Sonduck, they are great, but you are another level of explainer. Sonduck comes close. He's great. Casey is an acquired taste, but once you "get him," he's great, too. We are lucky to have all the growing number of Fusion teachers. Thanks to you all.
Thanks, Ryan. I just came across your page (I see that this was done over a year ago) and wanted to say thanks. Your explanation was direct and very helpful. I switched from Adobe products after using them for over 10 years (cost and computer bogging down) to DaVinci Resolve in 2018 and never regretted it. I'm pretty good at editing and coloring in Resolve but have stayed away from the Fusion page. I didn't like After Effects in Premiere Pro so I thought it would be too much. You made me consider learning it now. I may go over to your channel and see what else you have done. Again, thanks.
Thank you, I can now feed my family with the money I've saved from adobe by watching this video. Seriously though, you're saving people headaches! Also love ur accent bro it made the vid 10x better 😁
This might be one of the clearest explainer videos for Fusion I've ever seen. Quick question: everything that you did is some of that only possible in studio?
Perfect channel for me. I couldn't take the death hold ADOBE and their 'subscribe' to everything strategy. I dumped 100% of my adobe workflows and for video, moving to DaVinci - so super thanks!
Nice video! FYI on Text+ nodes you can add effects like stroke or drop shadow using the node itself. In the inspector select shading and it is element 3 in the numbered list at the top. Remember: Every added node reduces performance. So the more you can leverage a single node without adding another node the better your system performance will be.
This is the best tutorial on YT which allows me to understand the basics of nodes and I made my first animation in Fusion 🤟 Thanks for that! Casey Faris tutorial is way too complicated and overloaded. Your way gives absolutely the minimum amount of required knowledge to begin with. By the way, I love your accent. Are you from the "Celtic" part of the UK?
Great intro video. I have a question: What are the advantages and disadvantages of a node-based system over a layer based one? What works better in nodes than in layers? To me, layers seem more intuitive but I'd be interested in your view.
Thanks Patrick! In a general sense, layers and nodes work in a very similar way. They’re just a different way of approaching compositions. I’ve found that nodes are great for complex masking work where you can use one mask node to mask multiple different pieces of the composition really easily. Layers are simpler to understand at a glance but broadly speaking, you can do most things with either approach.
Thanks for the answer! I've been using After Effects for 20 years and I'm thinking of switching to Davinci (because free😊). Have you found anything that AE does that Fusion doesn't do (or vice versa)?
@@patrickmcginley5652 AE has a stronger motion graphics toolset for sure but I’ve yet to find anything that I can’t find a workaround for in Fusion. The best thing about AE is the Dynamic link I.e. the flexibility of working with AI vectors or photoshop files. There is a bit of a workaround if you’re dropping Adobe altogether. What I will say is, as much as I LOVE fusion- sometimes it means more work. But not always. Totally depends on the kind of work you’re doing. Check this video out I made a while back, might help you there! th-cam.com/video/aoJQsdgN_iw/w-d-xo.html It’s more about how Affinity files can be transferred to Resolve but the same logic applies regardless of what tool you’re using Hope this helps my friend.
Okay, I just found a workaround by dragging the composition into the timeline, shortening it there, then dragging it back into the bin and then deleting the original comp. That seems like a pretty weird way of handling things though? (I know it's not your fault 😃)
This is actually tremendously helpful, thank you so much. I do everything in Resolve EXCEPT effects😅 because I can’t get my head around nodes. Thank you for sharing your journey 👍🏻
I am thinking of making a switch from Adobe to get rid of the cost. But Davinci nodes was a little scary to tryout. But this video inspired me to get started... Will learn by following this channel.. Thank you for the knowledge shared
Hi Ryan, thanks again for another very helpful tutorial! I really like your style of explaining as well as the length of your videos. Just about perfect - I really mean that. I hope you continue to upload these kind of videos. Success will follow! Greetings from Vienna PS. I'm just a little curious but your accent is unique. May I ask where you're from?
Just came across this while I make the change from Pr to Resolve. Not sure if Fusion will replace everything I do in Ae, but it's super helpful to see it instantly in the edit timeline
@@RyanOsborneUK couldn't agree more. Ae does so much now that I don't think one program can replace it, but seeing you do some actual mograph stuff with fusion makes it WAY easier to stay in resolve now
Having watched a few davinci tutorials this was by faaaar the most helpful. You comparing it to after effects (which I'm very familiar with) really helped make things click in my head. Thanks a ton! I have the adobe suit at my workplace but I want to not be so depended on them because I find Adobe's subscription model frankly terrible. So for my private at home use I want to get into Davinci.
I think I will use resolve only for editing videos! I still don't see any Advantages over AE and really don't know the idea behind using nodes against layers! Doesn't this make things more complicated or it's only me thinking like that?!
Each to their own dude :) if you're happy with your software, there's no reason to immediately jump ship. My main motivation for moving away from AE to Fusion was price and stability. Now that I understand nodes better, I also find them easier to use. You do you!
Please don't stop doing videos, this channel is going to be one of the most relevant channels when it comes to Fusion and Davinci Resolve.
Don’t worry, I don’t plan to stop 🙏 thank you! 😁
I've been stuck with expensive AE for years but seeing what DaVinci can do leaves my jaw on the sp a ce b a r

No plans to stop my dude 🙌
the BEST video for a person like me having background in Pr and Ae. ... thank you bro
I'm glad they make it so easy now. I used to use the old Fusion years ago when it was so hard to find all the tools, so I gave up at that time
Wow this video is just what I need...Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching
The way you explain things is so clear. You’re gonna blow up once Resolve takes over from Premiere
Thank you Sam 🙏 The takeover is happening! 😄
I learn so much from each of your videos. Keep it up Ryan.

Brilliant introduction to nodes. Clarified some bits while I'm learning Resolve and Fusion. Thx.
Awesome! Glad it could help
Great tutorial. I love working with node-based systems, so I'm excited to try this out.
FUSION UX/UI is so clean, also Nodes makes things much easier than Layers.
It took me some time to understand them but once I did, I realised how flexible they are. Definitely makes a lot of tasks easier!
exactly.
The world needs more teachers like you. I feel 🤓👍
Thank you very much 🙂🙌
This might be one of the clearest explainer videos for Fusion I've ever seen. Quick question: everything that you did is some of that only possible in studio?

Thanks for these videos man! Switching from AE definitely feels like the right move so far, and this makes it easier!
Thanks. Just Starting off in Fusion and this was a simple and easy intro. Look forward to more!
