Yeah, but it's not so great when the company can't afford to do proper testing, bug squashing or any semblance of customer support because their software is just a loss leader to sell their proprietary hardware.
Consider showing the Fusion standalone when compraing to other software instead of using the Resolev Fusion which is limited in many ways, especially with customization. (Fusion was highly customizable up until V9). I tried doing multipass comp in AE and that was the last time I touched AE. Once you go nodes, there's no coming back.
I have been working with adobe software for over twenty-five years. If I had to give anyone advice.... give up adobe, it's crap. The software from black magic is leagues better than the crashy toys from adobe.
For anyone wondering, there is very little the free version of davinci resolve cant do compared to the paid version. There are no watermarks, free trials, or really any limitations besides the tiny number of missing features that most people will never need
@@dannybcreativeif you need it then just buy it once and be done. Reasonable price too 🤷♂️ As opposed to after affects which has to be paid for with an expensive subscription to access it at all
Fusion learning curve steps goes like 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 then Ll of a sudden 8, 9, 10 and once u master it its tough to go bek. I ve after effects and the free version of Davinci and even though its free the capabilities are amazing
ae is something like 70 dollars a month fusion is mostly free and only 200 dollars for life time updates it also includes the full davinci resolve suite
Lmao it’s like 20. First of all. I pay 24$ a month for the entire creative suite. Including photoshop and Lightroom which I use weekly. And my job credits that 24$ every month 😅. And they give me endless adobe stock assets. Use the software based on your needs especially professional ones.
@@sunteem369 thats just the price ive always paid. i got it on a some weird sale and it has stayed that way. after effects is 20$ by it self though last i saw it. if you are a student its $14mo for the entire suite as well
Thank you for the great comparison! Both take times to master and we can create amazing things with both. In terms of the price, I love the DaVinci Resolve because once the purchase is made, you are the valuable customer for ever. AE on the other hand, once you start to use it, you will always be in debt.
Third video in a row confusing Resolve Fusion with Fusion Studio. Again: Resolve is a grading and editing package, it has a Fusion tab that allows you to add basic effects and titles. Fusion Studio on the other hand is a full VFX package, it’s the one you are looking for. Resolve Fusion is the diet coke of Fusion Studio. Helloooo?? Why are you pushing the free Resolve so desperately? Most people who follow your channel know the difference.
I think it's just because it's the one everyone has. There must be millions of free tier resolve users and number of fusion studio users is probably in the 10s of 1000s at best. If it were me, I'd make it clear at the top of each video on fusion "There's the one in davinci, that's good but with some limitations and then studio which has more features etc..." It makes sense in the context of convinving resolve users to make more use of fusion, but not when directly comparing feature sets
@@EightNineOne My point exactly. If he's so hell bent on making these comparison videos, he should do it professionally and make it clear what software he's using and why. Everyone knows that Hollywood-grade post production packages are not free. After Effects is not free either, and it's meant for a very different audience. I don't get it why he's hurting his own credibility.
Best overview breakdown I have seen. Would love to see a comparison of the same motion graphics project and the same vfx project done in both softwares to get a real side by side comparison of the tools and workflows.
Fusion has been used in 1000s of major hollywood movies and TV shows unlike AE, it's pretty rare to see AE used in pro vfx, for mograph it's a different story.
@rano12321 I agree I am approaching this from a marketing and sales perspective. If you want to convert Adobe users, show how fusion can do what after effects does without creative cloud monthly charge
The ONLY reasons to use AE are: - Huge amount of tutorials - Puppet tools Everything else is doable in fusion. Node based workflow is simply better because you always have the view of everything. The way to learn: Use some AE tutorial and try to do the exact same thing in fusion. You will learn in no time.
So for a little bit more than a year (14 months) of After Effect subscription ($20.99), you can get a perpetual license of Resolve ($295), which not only contains the concurrent of After Effect (with Resolve Fusion), but also contains the concurrent of Premiere Pro (with Resolve Cut/Edit), the concurrent of an audio software such Logic Pro, Cubase ,Protools (with Resolve Fairlight) and so much more… For me it was a no brainer, I got Resolve Studio and I’m not looking back.
I recently needed to export a transparent image sequence of keyed footage to use in Unreal Engine. I keyed it using keylight (4k resolution, BRAW) and AE took 8 HOURS to do it. I worked a lot in AE so I never took the time to learn Fusion, but this inspired me to try it, at least for keying. It took 20 minutes to render the keyed 4-minute shot instead of 8 hours. Never keying in AE again.
I've been using Resolve and Fusion for about 4 years now. I switched from Premiere. However, I'm actually going back. Resolve just has too many critical bugs that they are incapable of squashing. I just upgraded to a new system with a 4090 and 128GB RAM and on Resolve 19 with a single color correction node, I'm bogged down to about 3fps. That's just not acceptable. To compound the issue, they have literally zero customer support. There's a forum which is basically just a sandbox for users to point out the issues but there's nobody resolving them. I just saw in this video that AE includes Moca!!! Resolve prides itself on its tracking but its tracking is not good. It's actually pretty terrible. Sure, it's great when it works but even with tracking markers, it will randomly just drift away and not find the markers again. So to be able to track with Moca will be amazing. Now if only I can find a video of transitioning from Resolve to Premiere as the tide flows the other way thanks to the rabid fan base (present company recently included.)
If you are doing nothing but mograph all day and doing advanced mograph then AE is okay but if for VFX or VFX and Mograph, Fusion hands down. Nodes over layers any day of the week.
dunno if fusion still has de multi machine rendering, i remember it was really simple to connect multiple machines, also, they are working 100% , all time doing caches automatically, thats incredible help full specially on big scenes. Btw ae is a pain when you have to deal with tons of layers and footage, since it caches by layer, it takes too long.
Nuke is for High-level compositing. Most of the artists and Motion graphics don't need Nuke. Because it's easy to do in After effects rather than Nuke. With Right Plugins Ae can Competate with Nuke. Plugins like Videocopilot and Redgaint also presets from Envato or videohive makes Works lot Easy. Nuke is Different story, We can't compare it with Ae.
Contrary to my initial feeling, this video is quite differentiated. Good Job! I personally prefere the Node-System of Fusion. The layer system of AF was just too confusing for me.
@@AlphaGhoost Well what I mean is many people are used to layer based editing for a long time. That's many people will have a hard time to leave adobe because we can't go back to learning the basics again since we have a lot of pile of works that pays.
Fusion or Nuke is for High-level of compositing. Most of the Motion graphics Artists, Freelancers and Indie Filmmakers doesn't need Nuke or fusion. Because it's easy to do in After effects rather than Fusion. With Right Plugins Ae can Competate with Nuke. Plugins like Videocopilot and Redgaint also presets from Envato or videohive makes Works lot Easy. Don't forget about Element3D. Combining those all Plugins, Presets and Scripts. After Effects is Like Super sayan 🤯
AE can't compete with Nuke. The features aren't alone to compete for. It's also the workflow and if you actually wanna compare the features, Fusion and Nuke wins by a mile not to mention and when it comes to workflow the node based workflow is unbeatable for complex composiitng work and AE becomes an absolute mess with hundreds of precomps hidden inside precomps hence pretty much no VFX studio uses AE for VFX. It;s mostly Nuke and Fusion. Fusion is the perfect middle ground for indie studios and freelancers for VFX because of the price and it has both mograph and VFX capabilities, layers don't have enough flexibility to be used in proper VFX workflow. Being easy to use always not an option as being flexible and feature rich is more important for pros.
