00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,333
So if you're coming from Adobe like I am,
2
00:00:07,333 --> 00:00:11,166
then fusion is the part of resolve
that's similar to Adobe after Effects.
3
00:00:11,250 --> 00:00:14,916
Similar in the sense that it's meant
for visual effects and motion graphics.
4
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,500
Now fusion is actually a lot different
in terms of the way that you work in it
5
00:00:18,500 --> 00:00:22,416
because it's node based,
whereas after Effects is layer based,
6
00:00:22,500 --> 00:00:26,333
Node based compositing can feel pretty
daunting when you're starting off
7
00:00:26,541 --> 00:00:29,625
because it's a very different workflow
to layer based compositing.
8
00:00:29,875 --> 00:00:33,333
Working with nodes at the start made
absolutely no sense to me.
9
00:00:33,541 --> 00:00:36,000
I would always just ask,
but where's the timeline?
10
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:37,625
And that's the thing that no one told me.
11
00:00:37,625 --> 00:00:41,500
You still work with a timeline in fusion
and you still work with keyframes
12
00:00:41,500 --> 00:00:42,458
on a timeline.
13
00:00:42,458 --> 00:00:44,500
The interface is
just laid out differently,
14
00:00:44,500 --> 00:00:47,000
and you don't use a timeline
like you typically would.
15
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,916
You still use the timeline view
to position where your clips and keyframes
16
00:00:50,916 --> 00:00:54,500
sit in relation to each other in time
just like you would in after Effects.
17
00:00:54,583 --> 00:00:58,166
But the order in which your clips
are stacked in your fusion timeline
18
00:00:58,375 --> 00:01:00,458
doesn't affect your final image.
19
00:01:00,458 --> 00:01:02,541
That doesn't actually matter in fusion.
20
00:01:02,541 --> 00:01:04,416
It's the way that the nodes are connected
21
00:01:04,416 --> 00:01:07,791
to each other in the node area
that affects your final image.
22
00:01:07,791 --> 00:01:10,541
Now, don't worry if you have no idea
what I'm talking about,
23
00:01:10,541 --> 00:01:13,166
I'll be showing you
examples in the coming lessons
24
00:01:13,166 --> 00:01:16,375
so that you can get a better understanding
of exactly what I mean.
25
00:01:16,500 --> 00:01:17,125
Now, one thing
26
00:01:17,125 --> 00:01:20,875
I want to let you guys know now
is that the nodes we work with infusion
27
00:01:21,083 --> 00:01:24,000
are much different from the nodes
we're going to be using in the color
28
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,000
tab, which we're going to be learning
about later on in this course.
29
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,791
Nodes in the color tab are much easier
to understand, and in my opinion, things
30
00:01:30,791 --> 00:01:32,291
just make sense right away.
31
00:01:32,291 --> 00:01:33,416
Whereas the node space
32
00:01:33,416 --> 00:01:36,833
within fusion requires
you to have an understanding of the rules
33
00:01:36,958 --> 00:01:39,666
on how you assemble things in the fusion
node area
34
00:01:39,666 --> 00:01:42,375
before
you can actually start doing things.
35
00:01:42,375 --> 00:01:45,208
It's not as intuitive
at first, in my opinion, but
36
00:01:45,208 --> 00:01:48,208
once you understand the foundations
and how things work,
37
00:01:48,291 --> 00:01:51,083
then it starts to make a lot more sense
and then you start to understand
38
00:01:51,083 --> 00:01:54,500
how much more beneficial it is
to be able to view your entire project
39
00:01:54,500 --> 00:01:59,000
from the perspective of a node tree
versus a bunch of layers in a timeline.
40
00:01:59,083 --> 00:02:01,541
These are two examples
of the same project.
41
00:02:01,541 --> 00:02:02,958
On the left we have a fusion,
42
00:02:02,958 --> 00:02:05,958
no tree, and on the right
we have after effects layers.
43
00:02:06,083 --> 00:02:06,875
From my node tree.
44
00:02:06,875 --> 00:02:10,875
I can see every single element
of my composition, including effects,
45
00:02:11,083 --> 00:02:15,500
resizing and masks without even
having to open up a single layer.
46
00:02:15,583 --> 00:02:19,416
Whereas on the After Effects project,
I need to open up each individual layer
47
00:02:19,583 --> 00:02:23,541
to get access to the masks, effects
and any other kind of changes I've made
48
00:02:23,541 --> 00:02:26,541
on each layer, which is a lot more time
consuming in the long run.
49
00:02:26,708 --> 00:02:30,708
Now this is a fairly simple transition,
so doing this in a layer based setting
50
00:02:30,833 --> 00:02:32,041
might not be that bad.
51
00:02:32,041 --> 00:02:35,708
But once things start to get complicated
and you're working with a ton of media
52
00:02:35,708 --> 00:02:37,250
effects, masks and more,
53
00:02:37,250 --> 00:02:41,041
then the node style of editing can
allow you to work much more efficiently.
54
00:02:41,291 --> 00:02:43,083
Personally,
I prefer the node based workflow,
55
00:02:43,083 --> 00:02:46,583
even if what I'm doing is very simple
because I've learned the foundations
56
00:02:46,583 --> 00:02:49,583
and I can go into fusion
and do whatever I want pretty quickly.
57
00:02:49,708 --> 00:02:52,125
Another thing to keep in mind
is that After Effects
58
00:02:52,125 --> 00:02:55,125
is a completely separate program
to Premiere Pro,
59
00:02:55,250 --> 00:02:58,166
and although Adobe has something called
Dynamic Link,
60
00:02:58,166 --> 00:03:01,166
so you can quickly open up files
from Premiere in After Effects,
61
00:03:01,208 --> 00:03:04,000
I would never end up using it
because I always ran into issues
62
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,041
when doing anything more complex than
basic title tracking and things like that.
63
00:03:08,250 --> 00:03:11,250
I would always have to export the files
I want to play with in Premiere
64
00:03:11,416 --> 00:03:13,125
and then create a whole new project
65
00:03:13,125 --> 00:03:15,458
in After Effects
and then play around from there.
66
00:03:15,458 --> 00:03:17,083
With Fusion, I no longer need to do that.
67
00:03:17,083 --> 00:03:20,458
Fusion is built into DaVinci
and it's super easy for me to get in there
68
00:03:20,458 --> 00:03:23,166
and start doing some more advanced
compositing work.
69
00:03:23,166 --> 00:03:24,791
Now, one last thing I want to mention.
70
00:03:24,791 --> 00:03:27,958
When I first got into Fusion,
I would get extremely frustrated
71
00:03:27,958 --> 00:03:31,625
and unmotivated simply because I didn't
understand things right away.
72
00:03:31,708 --> 00:03:33,041
I want you to know that it's
73
00:03:33,041 --> 00:03:36,041
okay if you feel the same way
and you're not alone.
74
00:03:36,041 --> 00:03:36,833
Too many of you.
75
00:03:36,833 --> 00:03:40,250
This is a new method of video editing,
and it's more of a learning curve.
76
00:03:40,375 --> 00:03:43,375
But the key is to study
the foundations of how it works.
77
00:03:43,375 --> 00:03:45,958
Stay consistent and experiment yourself.
78
00:03:45,958 --> 00:03:47,458
I personally learned the fastest
79
00:03:47,458 --> 00:03:50,541
when I go into the program
and try things myself after learning.
80
00:03:50,750 --> 00:03:52,250
But thankfully for you, I've compiled
81
00:03:52,250 --> 00:03:54,166
all of the best information
on the Internet
82
00:03:54,166 --> 00:03:56,916
about how to get started in fusion
within this course.
83
00:03:56,916 --> 00:03:59,750
So I hope you guys enjoy
this series of videos on fusion
84
00:03:59,750 --> 00:04:02,541
and I hope that you end up loving
fusion just as much as I do.
