For me it makes so much difference how i organize the nodes. The merge nodes work like a layer. As a Photoshop and after effects User i work from bottom to top. Also in Davinci resolve. But i see some tutorials who work from left to right and even if it’s technically the same it confuses me. In your case from top to bottom is also fine to understand the steps. Thank you for this great explanation
Of course! I’m glad I could help! If you have other questions, don’t hesitate to leave them in the comments section of any of my videos and I promise I’ll do my best to respond to all of them. I hope you consider subscribing!
Very good video, thank you very much! My personal opinion: I'm quite a fan of DaVinci (i use it everyday), I've switched from Premiere, I understand the incredible utility of Fuzion compositions, but I've never seen nice designs and motion graphics made in Fuzion. Even the animations that the teachers themselves make for their videos look like they're from Windows XP. After Effects (even though it doesn't have nodes) is still thousands of times more versatile and full of incredible third-party plugins. I left premiere, not After effects is still in my heart.
I absolutely felt the same way when I left premiere! I was still trying to implement AE into my Resolve workflow because I was scared of and didn’t understand Fusion. Now that I have a few years of Resolve under my belt and a more thorough understanding of Fusion, I can’t see myself ever going back. Keep practicing, I promise the stuff you can make is just as good, if not- better than AE. I hope you consider subscribing!
When you use an expression, to distance your logo from your text, keep typing and use math. “Point(Text1.Center.X,Text.Center.Y+0.1”. The value of 0.1 is the displacement you are adding to the position in y of your text. Easier, you can use the Transform Offset in your Text node to generate the gap without adding a Transform Node.
Useful info. With Resolve 19.1 and all the new features, BM is evidently still in the dark about making Fusion and Resolve work better together. Example: Bring in AAF with hundreds of repos meta to match to the source cam. It should be easy for Resolve to create a simple transform node in Fusion, translating all this metadata from the Edit timeline, retaining the souce rez in multi Fusion comps. It can read all this data and apply it from AVID, FCP, PPro on the Edit timeline. Why the heck haven't they made simple metadata translation between Resolve and Fusion? Seriously grates my gears. Speedramps, repos, crops, source TC? This is really straightforward stuff that is a pain in the butt to re-create in Fusion or just lost. The Fusion department is seemingly an island onto itself: it's really just a separate app running live switching and evidently always will be until BM gets a clue. Where's Automatic Duck when one needs it? Hire that guy. heh
0:00 I hope this is true I must suck at learning this program. As of yet I have an easier time doing things in blender for simple 2D motion graphics than fusion as an alternative for after effects.
see you already have some skills that I'm lacking in. I can't learn Blender for some reason. I really need to dedicate more time to it but man, I struggle with it.
@@EthanRobbins I also struggle with blender 🤣, but with different aspects. I can't say for certain because I'm a newby in fusion, But to me for now at least, it feels like in blender and after effects there's more of a clear timeline with better key frame control. I used to do lots of after effects during my study. But Since I don't want to use creative cloud or any other subscription based model software, I'm trying different programs to see if I can create a decent workflow and without question fusion will be a part of that.
If I’m not mistaken, it’s under Workspace > UI Layout > Fusion Layout . I’m not in front of my computer at the moment so I could be mistaken but I’m pretty sure that will take you there. I hope you consider subscribing!
Hey! Did you try adding the 2nd transform node and pushing the child back somewhat so that it's not positioned offset of the parent and thus appears to be moving faster?
I wanna ask something that kinda out of topic. I have MediaIn1 (Solid background with blue color) that connect to Merger1 (Text1) > Merger2 (Text2) > Merger3 (Text3). If I want to make camera shake to Text 1, Text 2 and Text 3. How to do it? Because when I put camera shake literally before MediaOut. It turn out that the Media1 also affected by the effect
Funny enough, there’s actually a camera shake node built into resolve. Search for that node, add it in, and drop it between all of the text nodes you want it to apply to and you should be good to go!
It might also be a question having your background connected properly. Did you ensure that your background node is connected to the yellow input of your first merge node?
@@EthanRobbins you could also add a transform node and add a perturb modifier to the center position. this method seems to be less taxing on the computer than the camera shake node.
@@EthanRobbinsI have the same mic, move it to the side so you don't talk directly into it. The mic is great; it's just about the technique. Switched to Davinci and your content is helpful. Keep it rocking!
@Octavian-Dan interesting. Perhaps I have to play with it more because this video is already a few weeks old, and I already have a filter for it but it works best when I’m speaking directly into it. Maybe I just crank my gain and set it to the side? Just have to do some experimenting I guess
@@EthanRobbins Yeah, it's a little bit quiet so you need to crank it a little bit. I sometimes pair it with an Elgato wave which has studio-quality preamps.
@@EthanRobbins fusion doesn't get recognition it deserve because lack of right marketing and advanced tuts etc I have used 3of them quit well nuke is industry standard for composting because it was available for linux and foundry gave free licences to studios for nuke when fusion was more expensive when all built pipeline around nuke they started charging ridiculous prices but still have outdated ui and ux nuke has 1or 2 good tools then fusion and in everything else fusion is much much better in everything after effects also have very cool third party tools for motion graphics but we have to make fusion famous and subscribed

@briantriesart awesome! Stoked to have you in the community!
Thanks for the lesson - I learned something new !
That’s my goal! So glad you were able to walk away knowing something you didn’t know before. I hope you consider subscribing!
Cool tip. Thanks

Great to know, expressions are so powerful.

Nice, I have to make more work of this ( fusion ) and so on....
The learning never stops, my friend. I hope you consider subscribing!
@@EthanRobbins Too late ( done) 🙂
So stoked to have you in the community! And I look forward to seeing you in the comments of future videos!
I would like to see a video about when to use magic mask/ when to use polygon
Interesting idea. I will add this to my list. Thanks!
Thanks

Hi Ethan, how do you customize your UI in Fusion?
If I’m not mistaken, it’s under Workspace > UI Layout > Fusion Layout .
I’m not in front of my computer at the moment so I could be mistaken but I’m pretty sure that will take you there.
I hope you consider subscribing!
@@EthanRobbins Great, thank you! I didn't know you could do that! 🙏🏻
One issue I'm having is, I have one image now parented to the other trough path 1 but the child is moving faster than the parent in the animation.
Hey! Did you try adding the 2nd transform node and pushing the child back somewhat so that it's not positioned offset of the parent and thus appears to be moving faster?
@@EthanRobbinsI have not, Thanks I'll try that next.

Get your face out of the shot Ethan 😂So we can see fusion

Buy a pop filter for your mic.
