Yashaswini's VFX-001 Level 2 report

The Fusion Page:

The fusion page is the fourth page according to the panel in DaVinci Resolve. This page creates mind-blowing animations and visuals that can be seen daily. The animations that we see in advertisements are done using the fusion page of DaVinci Resolve. Fusion Page is a Node based workflow with hundreds of 2D and 3D tools. I believe the Fusion page is the coolest page I have had the chance to work on. A few things that I learned while working around with the Fusion Page are:

• Nodes :

The fusion page has a flow chart workflow called Node Tree that helps visually map out how effects are connected and work together. Nodes act as a blueprint for the animation. They are also called Building Blocks of the Fusion Page.

• Masks:

Masks are components of the Fusion Page that allows you to define a visible area for an effect on an image. It is used to make the animation appear neat while allowing the applied effect to be shown in the visible area specified.

• Merge:

As the name indicates, Merge Node helps in merging all the effects to give out a smooth animation. Using Merge node is really helpful as it gives a clear view of the efects used for a particular animation that is applied.

Make sure to keep note of the number of nodes that you are using.
