Sir, I don’t know if you’ll read this 2 years after you posted this video, but you are a hero! I appreciate all the work you put into your explanations and demonstrations.
Casey not only knows DaVinci Resolve, knows how to teach it, but also so clearly loves to teach it. The toast and jelly example to teach nodes is so creative! There's so much love in his teaching. Thank you much for what you do.
This is the *ULTIMATE BEST EVER TO DATE TUTORIAL ON FUSION* for beginners that I have ever seen! As a RU-vid creator, I started using Davinci Resolve a few months ago to help me improve my videos. Until today, I have only been using it as a basic editor, as my learning has been really slow. The FUSION section has been a bit confusing to me with all those nodes and lines. After watching this tutorial, THAT IS NO LONGER THE CASE!!! I no longer fear the webby nodes! It all makes perfect sense all because Casey Faris did a FANTASTIC job in putting everything into logical perspective. THANK YOU VERY MUCH CASEY!!! I am now a subscriber. PS: I'll never see toast the same way again. :-)
Hey Casey! I have a huge respect for the awesome work you do absolutely for free, I can imagine this video hook you so long to make, it came out amazing 🙌. I started with resolve last year and your videos helped so much! Keep going and making superb videos! Much love bro ♥️
and these are the kind of people i love to see more of them in a world where everybody trys to get rich, powerful , etc.... this man has teached me more then i can tell in words.
This is one of the best instructional videos I have seen on DaVinci Resolve. Thanks so much for doing this! Love your channel. Great information presented with a wonderful personality and wit. Clever and inviting to watch. Thank you.
@@Terribleguitarist89 Casey is awesome, I learned a lot from him about Davinci 17. I recently purchased the Studio version and had a LOT to learn, lol.
Wow! Your creativity in teaching the use of nodes in fusion is commendable. Teaching is not everyone's cup of tea, but you've nailed it. You have dispelled my fear of using fusion! Thank you, from a 72-year video editing learner, new to Davinci Resolve. God Bless.
1milion% agreed. People who makes tutorials on Premiere is not even half disent compare to this. So detailed. Really happy i found this guy. He will make me shift to Resolve instead of useing Premiere 😁
Your a legend thank you. People always cry about how important fusion is but they never explain how to use it in any way that can reasonably be understood. This helped a lot I appreciate it🤝
Hey Casey! Listening to you feels really warm. You have a trustworthy vibe that makes me believe that as long as he is explaining it, nothing is going to be difficult for me. Thanks so much for taking the time and effort to help us understand a complex thing like Fusion. Love you loads and wish you tons of success in whatever you do! :D
For someone who is used to working with layers, this video is by far one of the best to explain how to deal with nodes. you put a lot of work into it! Thank you!
This is one of the best tutorial I’ve seen ever! If kids in school had the opportunity to have teachers like you, we would end up having more kids in school and more graduated students. I have never used resolve and was not expecting to watch any videos about a video editor. Thanks to RU-vid, I ended up watching the entire video. Now I want to try this software! Much respect for your ability to teach and the effort you have put into this awesome tutorial.
This is the best training video I've seen in years!!! And I say this having been an occupational trainer for 17 years and having taught college for 6 semesters. Very well done!!!
I think that the algorithm took hold here. I've been searching editing tricks in resolve one by one for the last two weeks. I also searched guitar pedal building. My thought is youtube said "you want to know video editing in Resolve and electrical circuits, you may like to learn about Fusion". Wow. I watched this video RECREATIONALLY and it answered literally EVERY effect and editing question I've had with resolve. This is an incredible video and you've earned a sub and a like from me. Incredible stuff.
Damn dude. This stuff is so dope. I've watched a ton of DaVinci tutorials but people never actually tell HOW things work, they just tell you to "press this, drag this there" etc. The example with toast is something I was looking for. Simply amazing. Thank you very much, I am making my very first steps in video editing and this type of content is golden for people like me. You got a subscriber.
Really appreciate your focus, clarity and pace of presentation. You focus on what's important for us beginners to know, use simple analogies to make it clear and don't rush (or crawl) when presenting. Works for me - thank you Casey!
My god your tutorial is clear as crystal. Not too fast, not too slow, well spoken, no kidding around, straight to the point and understanding the output. GREAT WORK ON THE TOAST! :D
I love that it takes one from complete beginner status. I just watched another video on nodes and clearly the presenter assumes u know the concept, and it did not help me AT ALL. This one made it crystal clear. Thanks Casey!
I don't say this lightly, this is hands down the best tutorial on any topic I've ever watched! It may be over an hour long, but it is super interesting and Casey's explanations are super clear and interesting!! Great job Casey!
29:38 Just a note: When he edited this part, he inverted the order that the media displays reappeared. The left display should have appeared before the right display because he connected the MediaOut to 1 (left dot) before he connected MediaIn to 2 (right dot). But the content inside is right.
Dude I thought I knew my way around fusion but I watched your whole video and and really glad I did because the knowledge and understanding of fusion I got from it is crazy much love man!!!
47:00 I like the way you explained difference between layers and nodes by giving examples. Because some people "like me" are not even familiar with layers. That's what missing in 99% of resolve tuts .. Thank you so much Casey. I learned a lot from you.
I started with zero knowledge of how video editing works. Now I’m working towards producing my own professional looking content. All thanks to you Casey! 😊
Casey, I have purchased and gone through Master Training and am ready to get into Advanced Fusion Training. Being a visual learner, I love your tutorials and how you manage to keep complex information simple with your great sense of humor. Thanks to you, I'm becoming a DaVinci Resolve power user.
This really feels like The Ultimate Beginners guide. The toast analogy, the paper, "physical" - as you rightly put it - way of visualising how Fusion works is GENIUS. You are a very experienced professional who knows how to make a good video, and who really knows how to teach things. Thank you for sharing this essential knowledge for free! I'll definetely sign up for your DaVinci courses when I have the stonks (student life haha). 😁
I'm a guitar teacher just trying to make content and want to thank you Casey! I discovered your channel on a guest spot you did for an intro to resolve and have just followed you over here since you're great at explaining this for those of us who video editing isn't our main passion. Watching your passion for teaching it is most helpful and it's beginning to rub off on me! Thank you!
Congratulations on a very well thought out tutorial. You don't just know your stuff, you know how to teach others, and that sets you apart . Im learning resolve and this video has helped me enormously, thank you.
I feel like so many people keep things so sophisticated when teaching because we're adults when sometimes all you need is a Toast and Jelly analogy. There's a reason we teach children this way - it is incredibly easy to understand and then you can apply a simple and memorizable analogy to the more complex stuff, rather than being thrown into the thick of it with fancy names for different tools or concepts. We don't need to stop teaching this way just because we are older. I guarantee everyone watching this will forever refer to toast and jelly every time you open Fusion just to jog your memory and will understand faster than someone just trying to comprehend things in DaVinci terms. Not that DaVinci or the terms they use are difficult -- it's incredibly intuitive. I am by no means suggesting they change the name of the "MediaIn" node to "Bread". But for learning purposes, it's great.
Casey, thank you so much for teaching the meaning behind each component, and the different types of nodes. It's an important concept to understand and after that we can do anything in Fusion. I came over from HitFilm and your have made adopting Davinci so much easier.
Such an excellent, helpful tutorial. I’ve been working up the courage to finally migrate from premiere/after effects and Fusion has been the most intimidating barrier to entry. But after watching this, I can see the potential for Fusion to actually be a more simple and enjoyable interface to navigate and work with than After Effects.
Just once again. You are apsolutly the best teacher I ever met. Your apstraction in ingenious! Your way of expaining things is so right to the point that I cannot think of a better one. Hope you have a good life!
Just started using Resolve recently. Casey you are the go-to guy when I need help. Your tutorials are immensely helpful! You are one of the best. Thank you!
After using non-linear editors in broadcast TV and documentaries for thirty years and DR since v12; at last a clear logical explanation of the basics of Fusion. Spoken slowly with a minimum of garbled jargon and.... at the unintended risk of offending about 70% of RU-vid "explaners", by a native English speaker (albeit US English). Thank you Casey Faris. I will be subscribing.
Comming from years of working with Premiere Pro and now starting to work with DaVinci Resolve I just have to say that this Fusion thing is so awesome! It is so easy to get lost in Premiere Pro doing effects and stuff and this is just so logical and well organized! And you also did a really good job explaining it, thank you for that!
We've got a full 100 seconds now, so maybe you could take their research and apply it. Don't be discouraged, fusion is one of the most difficult things we're doing right now!
I haven’t even finished the video. When got to the analog examples with the cut out, THIS MAN IS DEDICATED, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE PASSION YOU HAVE FOR TEACHING
Watched this video once, was enough enough start getting some really sweet stuff done in fusion. Still need to learn a lot more so here I am again learning once more.
Wow, this is one of the best tutorials I've seen and I just don't mean about Davinci. You're a born teacher! Thank you. I actually stood up to give this video, your video, a standing ovation.
Wow…you serious broke Fusion down perfectly. You gave excellent example and took your time explaining the work flow process. I know this makes for a longer video, but so worth it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and perspective with us.
Sometimes you need a quick two minute vid to show how to do some cool effect and sometimes you just need a hour long explanation, and this channel delivers on both. Great job!
I have watched a little over 25 videos on this topic so I could learn how to do the floating text. I followed ten of them step by step and could not get what I wanted or under stand why or how. This is the only one to break it down and actually make it simple enough to understand the process about how it works and why it works the way it does.
this was so useful. even repeating the things he told us so we dont need to rewind to remember it. its like he really wants us to learn this. this is what its called a tutorial!
last month i knew nothing about video editing. i have made several videos since then, so im still a beginner, but everything i have learn. i learnt from you. thanks
being able to just reconnect a mask node to multiple assets instead of copying and pasting the mask for each layered composition. THIS PROGRAM IS SUPERIOR
This is so well paced, described and illustrated. Usually I'm skipping ahead to get to a point in videos, but this is really great. So clear. Thank you!
You are basically like that one Indian youtuber teaching STEM subjects, but for DaVinci Resolve. Seriously dude, thank you so much for making editing on resolve so approachable. Because of this video, I realized that its actually easier to edit on Fusion compared to After Effects once we have the basics down.
I have seen other Fusion tutorials (some of yours, even) and I must admit they lost me quickly. This one is pretty much a prerequisite to almost any other Fusion tutorial. It was a long video but well worth the investment in time. I'll have to re-visit those other videos with this information, and I expect they'll make a lot more sense now! Thanks for this. Well done.
I just have to say, this guy has managed to make me feel so incredibly comfortable looking at davinci resolve now. Absolutely great work man, thank you so much!!!!
Coming from FCPX and Motion this was the very best explanation of Fusion and nodes. I've checked out a lot of other tutorials and this was by far the best. Outstanding!!
Understanding how the merge node worked and what could/couldn't be attached to it was the catalyst for me to really start putting things together. Awesome job Casey, thanks a lot.
One of the most elite qualities I feel a teacher can have is taking a hard subject that a student needs to learn but is mentally dreading, and immediately transforming that students mind into one of focus, excitement, and absolute anticipation of becoming a master. (I refuse to be any less dramatic) Casey you are that teacher bro! This is your GIFT man. Thank you thank you thank you!
the best tutorial ever, i saw the edit page beginner method and i started a youtube channel. if casey becomes a school teacher all the kids will get 100 out of 100
Thank you so much! For quite a bit I've been intimidated by Fusion and kept my distance, but now that I've decided to start using it at work, I needed some explanations, it ended with me going through some tutorials scattered around RU-vid (and searching for the things I didn't understand every now and then), but after this video I can honestly say this is the best thing a total newbie can do to understand Fusion in a really short time! Great work Casey, thank you!
As soon as you brought out the toast I could not help but think of "Video Toaster" from way back in the day. In the 80s it was the go-to application + hardware to modify video footage and if you ever watch just about any sitcom from that time, or TV news, or general commercial, etc. you were seeing Video Toaster at work. It was used most for titles, logos, and some mild video effects. The fact that we can do 100 times that on free software at home today just shows how far we've come. Yes, I was a kid of the 1980s. ~ Also, jump to 1:06:30 to when he first tells us how to animate elements... hint, its the diamond (key frame) symbol next to each control of the inspector.
My WORD, man. Your ability to break down complex ideas into not only digestible instructions, but actively FUN and ENGAGING instructions is insane! This might be the greatest introduction to any piece of software I have ever seen. The toast visualisation with paper cutouts is literally perfection. Bravo! You have a new fan for life.
