I‘m so glad I found you. Would enjoy some 30min in depth tutorials for fusion, just to get the real hang of it. Transitioning to fusion is my main concern from leaving the creative cloud. Editing in Resolve will master itself.
I was able to get through this successfully. Becoming proficient in Fusion is going to have a learning curve. This video was a nice confidence builder. Thanks!
This is exactly what I was looking for. I am considering several backgrounds, but I know I need fog on top of the background for a more supernatural feel, and over it will be my text. Now things are taking better shape.😁
I used this video to help make a fake Skyrim loading screen. I specifically picked you out since you've never steered me wrong, and you absolutely delivered. Thanks for the tutorial!
Thanks for this guide, really easy to follow without anything unnecessary. Ended up using a spline with another equation to have a variable mask. Which considering I was just here to get fog/smoke and I learn that Resolve accepts equations based upon current frame... really useful.
G'day Casey, one thing I'll elaborate on which you didn't mention in the video, is how to shut the fog off via keyframing. I'm working on my own intro title sequence right now and had to bumble my way through until I found a way to eliminate the noise for the desired effect. In the Merge node that the fastnoise/mask is attached to, on the Merge tab, go down to Gain and Blend. keyframing either one of these to a zero value over time will shut it off. hopefully this saves people from looking in the wrong node. otherwise it's a really cool effect. cheers mate.
Hey Casey, thanks so much mate for sharing your tutorials. I will try this effect in my music video to strengthen what I tried with the dry ice machine.
great tutorial thanks !! with this tutorial + the cb super glow maybe i can recreate my logo animation without AE and saber plugin like before thanks !!
Hi Casey! Happy Holidays! My laptop isn’t fast enough (or doesn’t have enough RAM) to run the Fusion page. I had to drop off with a partial view. Keep up the fine work!!
Get the standalone Fusion Studio. It isn't nearly as much a resource hog as the Fusion page. I have a blazing fast MacBook pro (core i9, 32GB DDR4 ram, 1TB SSD, 5500m 8GB) and I STILL prefer to work my comps in resolve studio.
hi Jeff! thanks for your suggestion! i'm using the Blackmagic SW for editing videos as a hobbyist, so i don't want to invest more than my time. however, i am interested in seeing what comes out as far as new laptop PCs in the $2k range. out of curiosity, how much did the Fusion Studio set you back?
I like this fog concept, but is there a fairly simple way to make it curve? I wanted to make a effect much like your ground fog but in a circle rotating as it animates the fog itself
Casey, if i wanted to animate it downwards (trying to simulate steam from a steam engine thats passed by several moments ago, would i use the ‘y’ coordinate? At 2:59 in your explanation. My understanding and knowledge of DV has been turbo charged since find your vids on you tube. Very mich appreciated fella. Thanks for putting the time in on these.
At 2.51 you say that it will ask for a point. That does not appear when I do this... I got stuck now :( Hope you can help me further. With kind regards
Thanks for this. Can you please explain how you can put the fog effect over another video so it has a transparent background? At present all i can do is see the fog in it's own video as a background almost. TIA
Is there a way to overlay this effect and have it creep in from the perimeter of the footage throughout, slowly until it covers the whole screen in a thick fog? Maybe 1 minute long?
I followed, however I tried to connect my video i created with my camera but there was no effect to it... I'm going crazy trying to put a fog in my video...
Interestingly enough... my computer (i5 9600kf @ 4GHZ, 32GB RAM, 4GB GTX 960 GPU, all SSD drives), seems to have trouble with Fast Noise. Resolve actually crashes if I setup the "time/100 " and hit "Play". I have to set it up and deliver a fully rendered video just to be sure it worked. (And... even then... the rendered video is somehow choppy.) I'm leaning towards my GPU not being powerful enough... so I'm picking up a 2060 Super tomorrow.
Thanks Casey. Is there a way to turn down a solid's (a white background w/ a rectangle mask) opacity from solid white to somewhat transparent, so that another clip "behind" it can be seen, in fusion? Thanks.
Nice vid and speaking of fog . I'm having trouble with foggy looking footage . I can't locate it in your play list but didn't you do a grading vid that touched on the subject ? Could you ( or anyone ) hook me up with a link to it . I think the image/footage was of that of a kayaker near a coastline with some trees in the background . Thanks
Nice tutorial! I just tried it with a video clip where you can see a duck in the water. The white fog looks very natural. Only Fusion crashed when I entered a minus value so the fog came from the other side. This is really annoying because it keeps crashing when I use different effects.
@@peacemekka Free maybe for you, but I paid enough for the Studio Version, and bought it especially for the many effects that keep causing these crashes. It's up to the programmers to fix this! Besides, you don't have all these effects in the Free Version.
@@claudinchenchen I know. I just wanted a 'basic' but still somewhat powerful editor with all standard features and didn't have a lot of crashes while doing these 'basic' tasks and also which was free. Other free editors are not as powerful and they also have a lot of bugs and crashes(10x the crashes I faced in resolve). I mean I don't need those extra effects for editing gameplay stuff, do I? Hence Resolve seemed a good bet.
@@peacemekka I recommend the free version, too. But it is of no use to me, if it works for others and not for me. As I said, for me the effects are crucial and I want to use Fusion for the videos. As a test, I installed the new version of Blender. And with this software, there have been no crashes yet. So we thought it also depends on the programming of the whole.
Great video dude! I followed along with the video and at the end I couldn't figure out how to output the finished fog back into the timeline. How would you do this? I am a long time user of fcpx but recently moved to resolve so it is all new to me.
The way I got around this was to start with an adjustment clip, instead of a Fusion Composition clip, that I applied to a separate video track on the timeline. I then used the Media In node in that adjustment clip instead of a background node. I'm certain there are other, more efficient ways to do this but this works for me. :)
If you have a fusion comp, just drag it into the timeline from the media pool. You can also make a fusion comp inside a timeline then start there, very similar to what you did with the adj clip.
@@CaseyFaris In this case, wouldn't the Background node in the comp "override" the clip I'm overlaying the comp with? At least that's the result I get if I add the comp in this tutorial on top of an existing clip in my timeline. I tried replacing the Background node with a MediaIn node but I couldn't get that node to use the clip in my timeline as a source (I simply don't know how to use the MediaIn node :).
I don't know why but something with merge doesn't work for me when fastnoise is on screen1 I can see it moving but not on the output on screen2 out nodes setup looks the same.
One of your connection is wrong. Output every single node to one of your scree until it doesn't show. That's where you connection is either using the wrong connector (EX: Foreground instand of background) or is missing a node (merge from a 3D merge, etc.)
