Hi I'm Kyle. The purpose of this channel is to inspire you, to help you go beyond the media you love and start creating your own. So you can inspire others with your journey. No experience or expertise? That's okay, we're all dabblers here. Welcome to the lab.
Note: I'm blessed to have a great job, and don't have any plans to do sponsored videos at the moment. I am, however, open to interesting projects and collaborations that I think would be beneficial for myself and viewers.
As a professional Fusion Studio user for over 20 years, I'm going to have to say you are not accurate on some of your points. For instance, there key-binds for things in the node editor, and if you drag the output of one node to the output of another node, it creates a merge must faster than Nuke's press "M" and dragging in both inputs from other nodes. I would argue, and I have my times, other than advanced 3D functionality (which is continually being updated in Fusion), Fusion and Nuke are functionally the same with different UI's. I would go on to argue, that Fusion is WAY more artist friendly than Nuke. The price is a no brainer. The only reason Nuke is the "industry standard" is because it's backed by a large team, since being acquired by The Foundry years ago. Eyeon Fusion, before being Blackmagic Fusion, was developed by just a handful of people who didn't want the responsibility of having to deal with thousands of licenses and the support infrastructure needed to supply them. When Nuke first came on the scene, Fusion was far more full featured, but wanted to remain small market. Just because VHS became the "industry standard", didn't mean it was better. This may come off biased, but that's my 2 cents.
Thanks for this. Watched it when I first started using Fusion and didn't understand much of what you were talking about. Watched it again 11 months later and now most of it makes sense. Really good comparisons.
Very nice! The only thing I would have liked to know about still is how to make it animate a little, growing and shrinking to make it appear and disappear.
Couple notes: 1. pEmitter is defaulted to a lifespan of 100, so extend it on the control tab if you have a longer clip. 2. I had my default background set to white. Change it from black to white and that'll fix some issues. I'll add this to the growing list of tutorials to update :)
This is marvelous. Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into this. I have a love for stop motion, but space and time are factors as a hobbyist. Going to try some construction paper cut out styles. Again thank you.
With the custom tool setup, my render is stoping after 99 frames, after this it only displays the background afterwards. Is there a solution to this, and am I missing something simple?
Nuke does have a better node tree. I find masks in Fusion to be a bit annoying. You can’t combine multiple masks in a single node. Both programs are solid. Fusion does have color correction tools although the Color page in Resolve is better for color grading. I believe that Filmlight does have a color correction tool that works natively in Nuke which might be a better choice. EDIT: Fusion has added a multi polygon tool in the most recent version which is in beta at this time.
2:40 In Fusion there actually is a Super hidden Shortcuts (i presume from the port form standalone to Resolve) Menu if you go to Fusion>Wrokspace Dropdown>Console then at the bottom in the input field Enter app:CustomizeHotkeys() |hit Enter| and the fusion shortcut manager will appear >Views>Flow> NewKey>tools (it is Very Manual and a bit confusing to make them) but if Needed now you have the knowledge. 👊
Cool video nice man. Been hearing about nuke but not used it. Use fusion thanks to resolve. These DaVinci guys at Blackmagic will get my support and money for their great reasonable total package affordable useful software.
2:15 Stand alone fusion has shortcuts. 4:46 Fusion also has A / B comparison. You activate it on the viewer you want and send the nodes you want to compare to the same viewer. Pirates of ConFUSION does advanced tutorials on Fusion. One thing that really bugs me about fusion is there is no shortcut to connect nodes. I would love to highlight two nodes press a button and it connects to an input. Then there would be another button to swap if necessary. Great video by the way!
This is such a helpful video, thank you! I've worked with node structures before, so having a better understanding of how Fusion works is really going to open things up!
12:59 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm making the switch to Fusion. Most of my jobs are for motion design. AE is better for this, but I'll get through. I don't have to much of a choice. 🥲 Thanks for the video and the recommendations.
You can use the flipbook in conjunction with the audio read node, reference the audio read you would like to attach, when it's finished caching your flipbook. It will play the sequence with sound
Definitely, Nuke, is the best software across 2d and 3d, actually with USD workflow you can achieve awesome result, just think the powerful switching in UE with new plugin developed for nuke15, also the infinite customization and the various gizmo from nukepedia, by the community are insane..!
it's very much over priced and they barely develop anything new. most of the cool stuff in nuke are developed by other studios and then foundry just shoves it in nuke.
@@ale_dp9 The software has been unchanged for more than a decade and recently they've moved to subscription only system for new users where the proper version of nuke is $6k a year. Adobe doesn't have proper node based compositing suit for pro vfx.
Regarding Fusion price: you pay 300 bucks only once, one off. All the updates and major releases are free forever. You don't have to pay every time you upgrade.
I'm definitely doing this, thanks for the tutorial! but does anyone know where I can find that sound effect that's like a slow increase of a screech of some sort that's in a lot of rage clips? I would love to add that on top of this.
There is a video editing project preset in Blender where you can put the videos together. Though, they would create the proxy files like Vegas Pro and might run slow when trying to edit. So, I’d use other editing softwares, which might be recommended.
Man im having issues 18.6.4 every thing look good untill i start with the color when i combine them with the boolean they blow out super bright and makes it look wierd
I've moved from Vegas (back when it still belonged to Sony) to HitFilm Pro (until it got bought by Artlist, shot in the back and left to die in a ditch) and am now using DaVinci Resolve Studio and there is no going back to layered compositing, you'll take my nodes from my cold dead hands!!! I also do a lot of foley work and for that I use Reaper. I'm a bit of a generalist, one man band. I do Editing Foley, MoGraph, some VFX ... so Davinci is the Tool for me. :)
I think Fusion is even more comparable with Nuke for normal compositing tasks than this video covers if you dig into Fusion more. However, I think there is no question that Nuke is more capable for the more advanced compositing tasks and methods such as Deep. Fusion has unlimited render licenses for network rendering for Fusion Studio. DaVinci Resolve has none and Nuke gets pricey quick.
