Socratica FX on Setting Files in DaVinci Resolve & Fusion

From Socratica FX on YouTube.

This deep dive into the Settings files that come out of Fusion (and Fusion in DaVinci Resolve) from Blackmagic Design. It is very cool that the settings files are just simple text files. Not only can you go into the files, but you can do things with the text files to create macros.

And don’t you wish all saved bins and files were like this, so that you could always just go in and see them as a plain text file and see if anything is wrong? This is how all save files should be saved!

Blackmagic Design announces Fusion 8 for Mac and Linux

Blackmagic Design has announced Fusion 8 for Windows, Mac and Linux. It is currently windows only on Version 7, but version 8 which will be released in quarter 3 of 2015 for Windows, OS X and Linux, and is being shown at NAB.

There will be a free and $995 full version as there are now.

Looking forward to learning a new compositor at a reasonable price. I love what Black Magic is doing!

Definition Magazine has an interesting comparison of Fusion, Nuke & Smoke

Adam Garstone at Definition Magazine gives a quick overview of these 3 powerful 3D Compositing Programs. Work a read.

After learning Shake years back I would love to get into one of these, but can’t afford either Nuke or Smoke, but once a free Mac version is released of Fusion by BlackMagic Designs I will probably spend the time to learn it, and hopefully they will have added a good 3D camera tracker by then.

BlackMagic Design releases Fusion for Windows for Free or $995 for Studio Version!

BlackMagic Design has done it again, and they have released their recently Purchased Fusion compositing program for free or $995 for the Studio Version with advanced 3D tools, OpenFX plug In support and unlimited distributed rendering.

Awesome news, and I would love to learn this. Going to give me a reason other than gaming to fire up BootCamp and boot into Windows 8 on my Mac, because since learning Shake back in the day I have loved Nodal compositing software. And the true 3D compositing and even 3D model rendering all in one will be pretty amazing.
