Level2 Report
20 / 11 / 2024
I am happy to continue my level2 of this course.
I started my work from fusion page where i understood that it is like a magic table where we can connect toys with strings. Each toy is called a node. When you connect them, they work together to make super cool videos with magic effects.
So, if we want to put a rainbow in a video, we take rainbow toy and connect it to the video toy. If you want it to move, you add a moving toy to the line. The more toys you connect, the more fun things happen on the screen!
The Fusion page is a powerful tool designed for advanced visual effects (VFX), motion graphics, and compositing. This node-based environment offers professional-grade features that cater to the diverse needs of editors and VFX artists.
● Nodes Structure: The Fusion page operates on a node-based architecture, enabling users to create complex effects through connected elements rather than relying solely on layers.
Basic components:
Mediain, Mediaout, Mergenode, TransformNode, Keyframes, Spline Panel, Shapes to add visibility.
● Panels Overview:
Nodes Editor: Central to building the composite flow.
Inspector Panel: Adjusts properties for selected nodes.
Viewer Panels: Displays the results of the node tree, supporting interactive previews and split-screen comparisons.
Timeline: Integrates with DaVinci’s timeline for seamless movement between Fusion and the Edit page.
● Compositing: Fusion excels at combining multiple images and elements to create stunning, unified visuals. Masking and Keying: Advanced tools like Luma Key, Chroma Key, and Delta Keyer facilitate green screen and selective effects.
● 3D Workspace: Fusion supports 3D rendering, including the import of 3D models, camera tracking, and depth effects.
● Animation Tools: Users can create and fine-tune animations with keyframe editing and spline graphs.
One of the Fusion page's strengths is its integration within DaVinci Resolve, allowing for: ● Round-Trip Editing: The ability to switch between editing, color grading, and audio post-production without exporting. ● Shared Media Pool: Direct access to project assets from the media pool simplifies asset management.
On a whole, the Fusion page empowers users with a sophisticated VFX and motion graphics toolkit. Its node-based workflow enhances control and flexibility, making it ideal for projects that require intricate visual effects or high-end motion design.
