If anyone is wondering I am guessing we get get some news on an update during NAB this year. Let's hope!
If you are going to be at NAB - I'll buy you dinner for all of your great work.
@@JohnKuehne_SF unfortunately I won't be there this year but I appreciate the offer! Hopefully you have a great time!
Alignement tools are super important and it’s a shame that we don’t have them in the fusion tab or the edit tab
diamond instead of tiny vertical strip as keyframe symbol on fusion keyframe panel
About this, there is an actual way to change the way keyframes look in the keyframe tab 👀
Right click anywhere within the Keyframes Editor > Options > Display Point Values and keyframes will appear as dots instead of vertical lines.
Not exactly a keyframe symbol but it makes it easier to select them.
@@alice.bg8 Oh wow! I didn't even notice this!
@@TheOrsonLord I am glad you learnt something new ❤️ I plan on diving more into Fusion’s manual and make a series of videos about stuff that goes unnoticed 😎
I think a big workflow improvement would be to be able to just select any two nodes and connect them with a keyboard shortcut. The whole thing of having to mouse-drag the connections is quite time consuming and requires unnecessary precision. I know certain nodes have more than one input but perhaps you could press the same shortcut multiple times to cycle through the inputs. Still faster than drag and release.
"FUSION ISN'T PERFECT!"
*audience gasps*
All good points, Jake. Especially the improved vector usage.
Second this, all really great points Jake!
Fusion Studio is way faster and optimized that its Resolve's counterpart. With that being said…
1.- I wish they don't abandone the Studio version and bring the Color page's OFX into it.
2.- Grids and Rulers like AE!!!! I hate the grid node.
3.- A more intuitive grid warp node (i.e. I would like to make some elephats legs longer that those of Dali's, but without tracking a steady image)
And as a bonus
4.- And update for the Magic mask would be nice (with more controls)
5.- In the CC node, setting the Predivide/Post multiply option active by default. (that will save a lot of people's time)
6.- More customizable shortcuts (ie. setting the Show > Show Tile Picture to a personalized key)
7.- More visible splines for Roto work (if possible, customizable colors like AE)
8.- A cleaner UI, just like Fusion studio befor its integration with Resolve
9.- A more direct way of masking footage, instead of connecting your footage to a BG, adding a ply node and then merging again with other stuff. I would like a node you connect your footage to, and inside it tracing a polyline and then outputting that to other nodes.
10.- Cavalry is a vector only motion graphics app, it has many good examples of how a software can animate vectors, so maybe the BMD team should check it out and learn some of the posibilities for Fusion.
I could be here the whole day so there I stop. Lol
Have a nice day Jake.
"In the CC node, setting the Predivide/Post multiply option active by default" I think that's the point, to not have post multiply check by default so it doesn't mess with your alpha channel. This is why AE does those under the hood since it doesn't give the users more control which why it's not used in pro vfx studios as in contrast in Nuke you'd have to add a unpremult and postmult node manually as that gives the most control.
The reason why you'd need to connect your footage to BG to mask is because in Fusion, the mask tools are created on a unique matt channel that's actually a sperate from the regular RGBA channels. That's how Fusion works under the hood and I don't see that changing unless they rewrite the program.
They need a way to connect nodes to other nodes quickly with out dragging. I would love to highlight 2 images and a merge press a hotkey and the auto connect. I could then press the shift S to switch if need. Generally they need ways optimize creating flow. Im tired of dragging squares to triangles.
Since you've talked about all motion graphics tools I'd like to see more compositing tools in Fusion. Ik the price of Fusion is nowhere close to Nuke or After effects but we can still hope for it. Things like;
1. PBR renderer
2. Better exr workflow like Nuke.
3. Spline warp and better puppet warp.
4. AI based tools
5. Better hotkey manager
6. More space for the nodes (the standalone version lets you zoom a lot more than Fusion inside Resolve)
7. Fixing or redoing a lot of existing nodes that feels finicky to work with or just somewhat broken.
Built-in realtime motion to audio waveform syncing.
1- Alignement and snap.
2- Motion sync with audio (like audio spectrum in AE).
3- The ability to transform text in shape (sText like you said)..
About point 3, there is temporary solution for it: a script in Reactor that allows you to convert a Text node into an SVG file. It is called VectorSnapshot that can be found in the Scripts > Comp category.
You basically view the Text node in the left viewer and then you select Workspace > Scripts > Andrew Hazelden > VectorSnapshot from the menu list.
You import is as an SVG file and then you can convert it to sShapes using the method shown by Jake Wipp in “The ultimate way to import SVGs” video.
1. Fluid AOV compositing like Nuke so we just render our render passes in our favourite render engine like vray, fstorm, corona, redshift and with one click it just import those and make node out of the exr file. Doing manually even with reactor is very time consuming.
2. Just like drivers in blender work where you can link any property with other so when you change one other automatically updated. It can be set to delay update if perform issue occur but it should be universal across the system. Even expression are somewhat similar but not that flexible and straightforward.
3. The spline editor in fusion take lot of space in nodegraph, it should be open below the properties panel, we can compromise on that.
4. Live-link container which can hold any type of file and when it updated by other program, it gets updated automatically to speed up team work.
My biggest wish: just a simple textbox that wraps/breaks text automatically.
Yes to everything you listed - especially the vector stuff.
MIDI implementation. I know MIDIextractor is in there but other than some basic visualizers, I haven't seen anyone put it to use. That you can't edit MIDI in Fairlight leaves me scratching my head. I'd even take Ableton Link as a work around.
1. Deep compositing
2. Cryptomattes (the Reactor plugin is REALLY slow)
3. DOF & Motion Blur - both are in the 2000s performance and quality wise
4. Better expressions editor. Right now, seeing only one line of text is awful
Automatic creation of the 3d renderer/ particle renderer/ shape renderer, when you try to connect them with normal 2d nodes( like merge nodes are automatically created). Would save time and make those systems more open for beginners, cause they won’t get confused on why they can’t connect 3d with 2d nodes for example.
That's a great idea!
Great Video! Really good points! 👍
Additionally i'd wish there was an option to somehow render animations with purely vector elements as an animated svg.
That and also better effects/nodes like the ones AE has and DVR fusion is missing.
For example it takes quite a node tree, to make an ellipse look like a ball in fusion, while its way easier in AE
For Fusion, I'd love to see:
1. A mini-timeline panel in the Fusion page with options to show the entire Edit or the Fusion Clip Timeline and an an option to lock the timeline so no edits can be done to only use it for viewing and navigation.
2. A setting to view the final output (through Edit and Color) from within the Fusion page.
3. A "publish to Edit page" option for individual controls, entire nodes, and groups of nodes. Creating and loading in macros is such a slow way to get controls to the Edit page. Since it's all one program, there should be a more convenient way to share these controls across pages.
4. Remember where I left off when going to another page and coming back into Fusion. While the project is open, Resolve should be able to remember where I was and restore those settings.
Great suggestions! I really like the idea of number 3! There have been many times I've wished for something like that!
One huge issue for me: they need to fix the proxy settings. You can't actually change them inside Fusion settings like you can in Fusion Studio. There's some hidden menu all the way to the left of the timeline that lets you change the quality. I feel like this is a bug. I just posted a video about this on my channel.
Not related to Fusion, but I really want to have a completely dark theme like Adobe Premiere. I do not like the greyish tone of the UI
Ditto❗ It is difficult to tell with some buttons whether they are engaged or not engaged, need more contrast for differentiation.
built in degrain and regrain node, distort remove/add node, smart vector node, better node for channel shuffling, something akin to the model builder in Nuke... So ya, basic tools for proper compositing.
I think the grain node already does that, the texture node already does StMap thing but there's a macro on Reactor that does a better job, surface tracker does the same as smart vector I think, Channel Booleans does channel shuffling but I'd definitely like to see a better shuffle node.
in my opinion black Magic should hire a UX specialist, that alone would improve the user experience by 80%!
I would like to see Fusion be built directly into the Edit page on a mini scale.
Allow character level styling directly from the text panel in the inspector just as it is for regular text in the edit page.
This would allow you to apply it to any text graphic, specifically third party.
You actually can apply it to third party text graphics right now. Check out the end of my video on character Level Styling, I show how to do it there.
@@JakeWipp but you can't do it from the text window like you can with the regular text in the edit page. You have to highlight the text in the viewer in order to do it and that's a "MAJOR" PITA.
@@majorediting8164 oh I see what you mean, yeah something like that could be cool!
@@JakeWippTo be honest...my wish list is pretty short and basic: 1. Character level styling as mentioned; 2. "Brand Box" which would allow you to save MORE color as well as fonts for each project; 3. Music "remix" that allows for stretching or shortening music to the length of your clip(s); 4. Ability to search fonts by typing in the letters...right now, it stops at the first letter of the first font that starts with that letter. If they do that, I'm good!
😝👍😆
I would love to see support for OpenType Variable Fonts so that things like weight, width, and optical size can be animated. Imagine combing that with the follower, it'd be pretty powerful.
Fusion and the Edit page good integration especially in the audio part. Fusion dont have audio output. Updated Manuals for coding python Lua and expressions. Sometimes it don't accept mp4 and other video files I hope they fix this in the future. Error message specific like if they can't render the Fusion composition they can point or locare the file that have errors so we can delete it or redo the Fusion composition.
Text box would be nice
I think you make some great suggestions. Especially for SVG's. And DOF. That would be awesome to have.
Correct me if I am mistaken, but I though that fusion is resolution independent by design, so that any graphics generated in the fusion can be scaled up like vectors. Also I think we should take into account that Fusion, especially standalone is able to have network rendering which can take a lot of the heavy load for those who are in need of it. While this raises up the hardware cost and is not suitable for all users, I haven't seen After Effects or other apps do much better with complex motion graphics. Also there are DOD and ROI tools for speed up of render times that work great as do proxy workflows, which is how things really work. Try Nuke of After Effects with just native rendering and it will kill any computer on heavy scene, no matter the workstation. I actually switched to Fusion from After Effects because of performance that was killing me in AF.
That being said, personally I would like to see improvements across the board myself, but in terms of features I'm more into VFX, so Magic Mask spend, stability and masking can be improved. Voice isolation for leaving out the background noise. Improved tracers in Fusion and stuff like that would be welcomed. I think the motion graphics crowed, like yourself is more into that aspect, but fusion and resolve as whole is truly a big space now, for many type of users. I hope we get a bit of each for everyone. Fairlight page is also getting some love lately and more is always welcomed.
Regarding the resolution you are right and wrong haha. If you create a shape using a Ellipse or Rectangle it's vector while in that node or if you are using the shape system it's vector while in that system. As soon as it leaves the node it loses the vector quality.
Transform nodes are an exception to this. If you set the size to .2 in a transform and add another transform after it to scale the image back up, there will be no quality loss. But if you add a blur or a modifier node in between those transform nodes that will no longer be the case.
I just want more consistency and more resolution independence between all the tools.
@@JakeWippFair enough.
Not fusion related but I want more option and control over subtitle (word by word and char by char inside a sub for example)
хорошие идеи!
if they simply fix spline and keyframe editors especially when you have many nodes with animation, i'll be more then happy
commenting before watching video
bet he says alignment
EDIT: nevermind apparently
Haha
I need rulers, and I know I'm new to Fusion but I find the 3d camera way to hard to control compared to After
export mesh (fbx) surface tracking, new camera tracking enhance, nvidia dlss and frame generation more fps in viewer its opcional
You can export usd scene which is better than fbx.
@@rajendrameena150 usd, fbx, abc whatever but that allows you to export surface tracker
better importing for textured 3d models
removing the cut page
pinpoint/puppet animation like ae/pr
Removing the cut page, those are fighting words 😂
Waiting for your update on these wishes since blackmagic dropped resolve 19 if any wishes came through
Rulers in ae
Scatter similar to ae
Puppet tool need to improve in DaVinci
what is this follower thing? never seen it
I still don't get why sRender is needed. To convert vector to pixel, ok. But what about Text? It's also vector? And doesn't need a render node and works with normal nodes
I think the difference is that the sRender node converts mutliple nodes to pixels at once. The Text node does it all locally but since the shape nodes don't, they need another node to do it for them. That's the reason right now, as mentioned in the video I hope they improve upon this system.
just one: 😁GIF😁GIF😂GIF😂GIF😁GIF😁😁😁😂😂
🔥🔥even kids tools like FILMORA and CAMTASIA support GIF
after that, a map animation tool? other languages support for live transcripts and subtitles?
Well gifs aren't used too much in the professional film industry where DaVinci is targeted haha. But I think they added this recently, I have used and rendered gifs from the program
Better roto tools.
is 16 gb enough for da vinchi cause its lagging i recently upgraded my ssd but it stills lag in edit page too
I'm a really big fan of DaVinci Resolve - especially Fusion. However, I recently had the opportunity to work with the latest version of After Effects again...and man - the program really leaves Fusion behind in terms of performance. Don't get me wrong, but I think the development team should really concentrate on making the program stable and performant again first
Paint and modify shapes and lines in editing page without using fusion. So using less fusion. 😬
Haha
You are being a little too demanding Jake.. baby steps bro.. baby steps
For me?
1. Revamped Text Tool

1. I agree
2. I agree
3. I agree
I asked for a layer based mograph tab years ago because Fusion is a much better compositor than mograph application. If you can have a cut page….why can’t you have a layer based mograph page?
Everything is evolving towards faster and easier but Fusion is the opposite. Want to add a drop shadow? You’ll need a node for that. Want to crop something? You need a node for that. Drop shadow, crop, and resize should all be built in to whatever you drop into Fusion. Too many nodes to do simple things that are built in to programs like Apple Motion.
I love black magic design turnaround times and speed trump all. Time for a layer based mograph tab guys.
Yeah Fusion's strength is compositing. I don't think they should go layer based as nodes are more powerful and easier to use imo.
The thing I don't like about layers is it's hard to see what effects are applied where. Programs like AE have pre comps inside of pre comps when that is totally unnecessary with nodes. Yeah you have to add in a node for every effect but it's the same about of work as dropping an effect on a layer. With nodes you can easily see that it's there, when it's being applied, and can view the composition at any point without turning effects off.
Plus masks are SO much easier with node 😁
Going to layers would be against the philosophy of Fusion and considering other than adobe products nothing is really layer based, it makes more sense. Adding one node each effect is the point of using nodes so you can see from a birds eye view everything you've done and then easily go back and change anything or copy paste them easily. If all you are doing are simple things then you should stick to basic programs for easy fast simple stuff like capcut or filmora. Adding more motion graphics tools is def more welcome but def not layers. Blackmagic says very nicely on their website that why they prefer nodes over layers and there are many many solid reasons for it.
@@rano12321 💯
Layers are training wheels. Might feel less intimidating than nodes at first but ultimately layer-based anything will hold you back creatively. Even for simple mographs, I think nodes are far more intuitive. But I think a lot of this convo comes down to what you're used to. The beautiful thing about Fusion is it's very easy to build your own tools on the fly without any coding experience, so you can have a single node that applies shadow, crop, resize, whatever you need.
@@MattMcCool0 Exactly, when I was a full time AE user I resented the idea of nodes and didn't wanna use Resolve for it but after learning nodes I switch to Resolve just to use Fusion primarily lol. Now I can't even use anything layer based like photoshop because I'm so used to the logical nature of nodes since no matter how simple or complex stuff you are doing, you can build everything based on the simple foundational logic system in Fusion which makes it very very powerful and since how nodes work is very universal, once you learn nodes you can transfer that knowledge to any node based software.
Yup, exactly, one of the biggest perk of nodes that you can create new nodes/macros to do effects that already doesn't exist in a menu/layer based program and then expose certain parameters to control the stuff you'd usually change to do the repetitive task. It's the same for Fusion, Nuke, Blender, Maya, Mari etc. etc. Makes sense why professional programs are all node based, at least 99% of them lol.
@@MattMcCool0 Great reply and thoughts, thank you.
