What Does Each Node Do In Fusion? - Types Of Fusion Nodes & When To Use Merge 

I must say, you have teaching skils, thank you .... and yes I bought your ... DAVINCI RESOLVE MASTER TRAINING:

This is a video that needs to be shown to anyone who has worked with other video editing software, because this is probably the biggest hurdle to overcome in Davinci Resolve, where the hell the nodes go and in what order

at last found someone who explained all nodes functions.thanks for your time and support

Awesome, I was literally struggling with this today, so did a quick search and this came up and you've only just made it!

You deserve more views. These are hands down the most helpful davinci Resolve tutorials I've found

Super helpful. I just finished watching your excellent CreativeLive Fusion course and this video is an excellent supplement. Thanks for creating it.

You have solved every single one of my questions and I can't thank you enough.

Very nice! Quick, concise and quite helpful for newbies like me.

I've been looking for this kind of conceptual logic forever. Great help. Thanks. Now, please do this kind of conceptual outline for performance improvements, i.e. optimization, proxies, cache, etc., i.e. when to use one or the other and when to use them together. I've encountered other performance issues and solutions. For example, I've noticed that linking clips or creating a compound clip can improve performance.

Love it! I got a little into fusion about a year back to make some titles and I really want to know what else this program can do! Keep these coming 😊

What an amazing way to demo the underlay. A moment of genius right there. I was looking for this feature

Very good quick intro. Deeper dive into each node or node group would be great as well. I had no idea there was a underlay feature to group nodes. Good stuff!

Oooh can't wait to watch this one! Title is exatcly what I've been wondering! Love from me thank you Casey!

"Yeah, but just do it here. Merge this but just [to the parts] inside of this rectangle." Very useful frame. Thank you.

Great video. You're pretty clear, thank you!

Thank you Casey, what needs to be understand is explained with some great teaching skills !!!

Thanks for the upload 🙌🙌🙌

Great turorial!!, Helped me a lot to understand nodes

Great explanation! Thanks!

Another great tutorial... Thank you for the tutorial for nodes 🙌

First time someone explained it clearly! Thanks

I have looked everywhere for such explanation... thank you very much!

This is best explanation. It finally clicked!

Very well explained Thank you

Had someone in this Discord recently that got confused with the nodes. They were thinking the input at the bottom is background and top is foreground. And had trouble following a tutorial. Colors matter and are a great indication of what you are working with. Also important is to learn what multiply by mask means

Bro, thanks for this, It is what i was looking for, congrats.

Great explanation. How to use Fusion makes a lot more sense now. Thanks.

Excellent explanation!

Very clear! Thank you

Super useful, subbed!

Fantastic teaching skills. Considering to buy your course just because... :D

Thank you, Casey! I think you may have solved my confusion with merge nodes.

Love your fusion videos👍🏻

Thank you, you answered my questions I still have some, but good job man you made it so clear

That went by so quickly, I'm thinking "wait! wait! I'm just starting to enjoy this." FWIW, I was at a photo/video conference last year, sitting in on some video tutorials. A few of the presenters were using Resolve and nodes were just "there" because they are not some dark magic. Things didn't come to a screeching halt while he dragged a node. I have to take it on faith from how many attendees could follow without getting frozen in fear seeing a line of nodes that once you get the hang of them they're business as usual in Resolve.

This is a nice tutorial. :) Thanks :)

Ha! Very nice! And soo helpful. Thank you Casey!!

Really loved this video, clarified so many things. I like to think about merge nodes as layers like in photoshop, if need to put something over or under another, then I have to make a merge layer.

This video was so helpful!!!

That was a great overview. I'm new to Davinci so still learning. This puts things in perspective. I'm going to take a look at your master class. Thanks.

Liked and saved to my watch later 👏👏👏

Another excellent video. You should do more videos on Motion Graphics!

I never thought about using the underlay as a method of creating a custom "tool bar" until I watched this video. Definitely going to give it a try. Another great tutorial would be on settings which are kind of like presets.

This is just what I needed. Your videos always help to make fusion more accessible. Maybe I missed it in the video, but did you talk about transform nodes?

In fusion it is the second tutorial that everybody must seen after the base of node entry in and out (foreground,background,mask and outpout) Thanks

I loved the last twenty seconds. So funny.

Well Casey, I realize the benefits of going through your older videos. This one here is interesting. I know it's all the same, but for some reason, hearing and seeing it explained in a slightly different way helps. With this video, after 5 or 6 minutes it starts to sound like jiberish to me but... If I watch it a few times and experiment with davinci resolve in between, It sticks better to the memory. Thanks for the videos Casey.

Very nice, Casey

Best simple breakdown of this I've found yet! Random question though. What are the white/grey dots under the nodes?

Thank you! God bless you!

Still learning nodes. I hope this tutorial will work fine. Thanks for sharing most basic insights about nodes. Another thing I am interested in is colour grading video clip shooted using mobile phone in FHD, 30 FPS to a commercial style one... Built in LUTS and some free LUTS haven't worked yet for me.

OMG THAT. IS. PERFECT.

That was straight 👍

ty

Brilliant 👏 👏

Thank you

Thank yooou helped me

Helpful vid explaining the order and use of nodes. I still don't see the option in fusion to show the background layer when keying objects in front. I have to switch from edit and fusion.

Thank you so much......from Mumbai

Question: What re the 2 small white and black dots on the bottom left of the nodes?

Please make more tutorials on motion graphics on images. Please!!

does your master class include updates/goodies etc from you going forwards...?

We want more.. we want more..! Pleaseeee.. 😬😁

Whoa man!!! You got the point.....

what if i wanted to add multiple texts? how do i connect them , to appear on different edit clips

How to make a good page curl or element curl in fusion?

Then how do you zoom in to a video halfway and add a circe to the kill feed

why do you have ONLY 5365 views on this video ..... You have amazing teaching skills and this was an interesting topic .... and no I couldn't buy your ... DAVINCHI RESOLVE MASTER TRAINING: because I can't afford it right now but I'll ... one day

grouping... grouping, grouping... yes... YES!!! 'brilliant'... now I'm getting it!!!

Genius! Are you a wizard?

hahaha that ending is so awkward :P love it

if i drop a rectangle node it atomatically gets connect with the mediaout, how to slove this problem

May I ask how to identify a node if it has been renamed?

Is a Transform node in the "Effect node" category?

Fusion is the most complicated thing to learn here, but I sorta understand is like layers, but more complex

What is a loader node? I have a png pic that I use for my logo. I add it to fusion then add my text and then animate. If I save as macro, to reuse like a templet it will not save the png image so I would have to bring that image into the media pool of every project. On a blackmagic forum they said use a loader node for the image. I can't find anything about this node. Maybe there is another way?

How do you turn on and off the little node window on the side of the node tree? Yours does not show up. I would like to turn mine off.

How does one show something happening in the Fusion as there is no timeline? I want to show an expanding circle and confused what nodes to pick. Thanks.

Thaaaanks

Do you have a video that show you how to make a film title template? I've been looking for the past few days on yt. Made 4 and followed his instructions to the tee! Guess what it didn't work and didn't show. At this point I'll just fight a bear and arm wrestling lion. Plz help

I’m getting a hang on creating animations with fusion nodes and masks, but it’s absolutely killing my render times. Does anyone have any advice on how to fix that? I’ve got a video I’m working on with several fusion compositions and the render time keeps indefinitely adding on time that it’ll take to complete the render. It renders normal video perfectly fine, but it seems to be having trouble with fusion nodes. It’s not an issue with my computer, everything’s up to date and I did a ton of hardware troubleshooting to make sure. Just trying to figure out how to speed up the render. Thanks!

Yay!

I was watching a tutorial on Burn in Text but it Mentioned Some Node That i cant not find at all (Stains Node) i searched everywhere and nothing comes up has that... Or Maybe you can just make a tutorial on it ... for the 19 fusion ,,,

There's something about nodes that I've not heard many talking about, those small triangles in different color around the merge node. Green triangle says foreground and yellow triangle says background....if you find you do not produce the desired effect correctly, try to connect to the right triangle.....

Love, absolutely love your tutorials. You get to the point and your directions are awesome. Been a subscriber and bell notifier for a long time. keep up the great work. I wish I could afford your master training course but right now money is tight. I have a question hopefully you could help me with. So I’m looking to create an effect on a Stargate portal type thing that I created in blender. If your familiar with the Stargate TV and movie franchise will know what I’m talking about. What I wanna do is step through this portal and make it look like I am stepping through liquid or something to that effect. I know I have to mask myself out as I step through the portal but I want the portal to react to me stepping into it. I have googled and RU-vid searched it and can’t find anything. Is there something in Davinci that will create this type of effect?

This is great, Casey! It sure helps us noobs get a good handle on dealing with nodes. But here's a question for you: How can we add AUDIO media to a Fusion composition? There are many occasions when we would love to add sound effects to motion graphics done in Fusion, so if you could do (or point us to) a tutorial on adding audio, particularly sound effects like whooshes and pings etc., to a Fusion composition/title graphic, that would be great! Thanks for all you do.

How to rename the nodes?

😍😍

👏👏👏👏👏

Every time I see someone trying to explain fusion to beginners, they start doing a million things at once, going way fast, get sidetracked down some other rabbit hole like making boxes around things and then say "there you go! Wasn't that easy?" and I'm over here eating play doh comprehending just about none of it.

Hey Casey! This might be a strange request but I'm wondering if you would be willing to charge for a live zoom tutoring session using Davinci Resolve. I have a very specific idea of what I want to accomplish with Resolve and how I want my videos to look, however, it's been a frustrating experience trying to figure out the workflow on my own. I'd love some professional help specific to how I want to edit. Let me know if you'd be interested in doing a live session! Thanks man! Looking forward to hearing back from you!

shabam...

I think it is a bit confusing that the mask nodes goes into the image nodes and not the other way around. You could have an image node, pipe this through a mask node and the output from the mask node would be a part of the image.....I think. But I am relative new to this....

Can you make a 3d intro with davincri

Casey, you are suck a great Instructor, love all of your videos, save some $$$ to get you Master Class Course:-)

Hi Casey - This is Mr. (Gary) Giddens formally of Junction City High School Media Specialist fame. I'm retired now and live in Monmouth but now do landscape/fineart photography photoslesstraveled.com My second son Jayce (who teaches photography, video production, and graphic design at Corvallis High School) and I are getting set to launch our own RU-vid channel together teaching photography. I've been meaning to write you a comment for quite a while now to let you know how much I've been enjoying your tutorials, especially having to do with understanding Fusion. When I came across you originally, I thought...hey, I know him. I'm pretty sure you never took any of my media classes in high school, but definitely started somewhere down the path of expert. After many many years of using Adobe Premiere and After Effects, I made the decision to quit using the Adobe products and went to Affinity for photography and DaVinci for video. After some steep learning curves, I've come to love it much more so than Premiere and I have to very much thank you as you have been instrumental in my learning. I actually just used your advanced tracking video to add a title to a drone shot for my little opening sequence. And this particular video was extremely great in sort of putting all I've learned together. Of course it would be really fitting if you had taken a class from me so I could say the teacher has now become the student, but because you didn't, I'll just say the teacher has become A student. So know I'm out there watching, liking, and subscribed. Thank you again.

Casey Faris looks kinda like Andrew Kramer's older cousin. Hmmm....

😂😂😂

Another great video man! It is possible to do something like this on fusion? Like re-create the same work flow using nodes? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AwMfu_vh9f4.html It would be a good idea to compare with After Effects.

Particles are their own set of nodes. They are not part of 3d
