Casey, this is one of the best tutorials for a beginner because you explain why. You make it make sense. You stress the importance of mastering the basics first. This is so good in so many ways. Master class!
Okay. I think I've found my fusion teacher. How do I know? Because i didn't click off at the first mention of fusion and I watched the video all the way through without feeling overwhelmed once and without feeling the need to flee a fusion video. Breaking the confusion tab down to the fusion by explaining how fusion *actually* works was my little miracle take away. When I better understand the Edit and Fairlight tab and I'm ready for Fusion, I will start that journey with this cat, clouds and blue tutorial. Heartfelt thanks Casey from a curious 73 year old youngster.
Yes please, if you have the time, make a part 2 of this video to go over the rest of the animation. Also if you wanted to cover how you configured the different nodes that would also be great. I used the same node tree as you did, but I could not figured out how to animate the clouds background and I ended up with a static black and white image of the clouds with the ripple effect. It did not merge over the blue background, even though my node connections were exactly the same as yours.
Casey is that rare guy who can explain difficult concepts and make them seem easy. Thank you! Please make the next video to show the animated cat over the water ripple. 😍
Wonderful. I don't even bother with the Fusion page anymore because it never made sense to me. This video simplified everything, making it as easy as cutting a video. You've just eliminated a years of frustration for me. Play do a part two
I'm only 69 and have been messing with Resolve for a few years now but this video really brought it back to logical Fusion basics - very helpful and I will watch again and probably multiple times. Thank you. (And yes I've used Fusion a bit but never really totally "get" the order of nodes up to now).
Absolutely beautiful, Casey! You slowing it down and going really in-depth resulted in a longer video, but it's so easy to follow along. This is a great video !
Maaaaan do I like when a video has chapters...

Yes we definitely need more of these simple follow along fusion videos . I watched it once but going to download the media and watch it again as I try to copy the steps.
I like the repetition. Since I don't use fusion every day, it's easy to forget what I learned and then get confused when I get in the program. Thanks for the lesson reinforcement! :)
Great video! I've been watching you for a while now as I've been working to start my RUclips channel. Your videos are super-helpful. Keep up the great work!
I remember your toast video which inspired me to learn fusion and this will now be used as a new reference. Thanks for your great teaching knowledge and explanations.
Casey, thank you, for explaining the process and steps. Too often the vloggers just mouse click ding ding ding ding ding mouse here and there and the viewer has no ability to grasp anything. What I would like to see are ready made samples of different exercises, like a follow along workbook of sorts. Thereby teaching the user and not inundating them with mouse trails and click click clicks. Learning Fusion takes time, and quite frankly, even the BM tutorials for a beginner are hard to follow along. I for one have stayed away from Fusion for that simple fact - no one took the time to talk about and start at the beginning -like talk to me like I was a two year old golden retriever.
When i read the title, i jumped in thinking this was going to address the rasterisation issues when you scale something down, add an effect node such as blur (even if you turn the blend to 0) and scale it back up, you would have lost quality as anything other than merges or XF transforms rasterises the input Then i realised this is a channel for beginners halfway through the video lol Though it did seem like one of the better ones of that category
Casey - this was excellent. I for one would love to see how the rest of this came together. I’ve been getting use to Fusion and this video was great and helps make sense of using Fusion. So, do another episode showing the rest of the comp.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make part 2+ with the full walk thru for the whole animation ! And or at least show us the settings you used on each effects node (e.g. what you changed on the brightness/contrast node, etc)
Hi Casey, Really enjoyed the way you present your explanations. I guess I will have to put in a lot more time into getting it right. But sincerely thank you for this. 👍
Thank you!!, your videos have helped me a lot to understand this application, what I find hard to understand sometimes is, why people who watch videos on YT, do not help more with giving likes to the videos, thank you very much brother. Part 2 please.
This was fun, thanks! Watched all the way to the end. Downloaded the media. Ended up with a relatively similar floating cat. edit: Appreciated the tip about Workspace arrangement and holding shift while dragging on a node (so it inserts into the middle of a path). Very handy tips watching the process.
As always, great explainer video for beginners like me. Now i feel a bit more comfortable with the ndoes! Can you make a video about the 3d nodes, specially the imageplane3d and camera3d nodes? how these nodes work? what's the difference between the functions of the transform node and imageplane3d? Thanks!
@@CaseyFaris if you ever do, let me know! im into resolve but cant find any classes that suit me right :] because i already know a lot and all the classes are for beginners. do you have any moderate to advanced classes on youtube?
Even if takes my life.. please contact and help us to learn more on fusion. I dont wanna be an alien with fusion.. and let me know if all you teach is available in free version Da Vinci 18.6. Bless you. Thanks ❤ loved it n more
You are awesome and so is fusion. Recently read a comment saying fusion could not use vector graphics (ai files and svg). What? What's a workaround for this. What about layered psd files. Is there a hack or workaround?
You’re a hero Casey! Thank you. I have a question. Usually I tend not to download Beta versions and rather wait until the official release of the new version. Seems like there are no updates to version 18 after 18.6, so is version 19 stable? If installing it, is it ok to remove version 18.6?
please explain the 3 lines coming out of transform2 (going to corner position, TimeSpeed1, TimeSpeed2). I assume that flow eventually creates three different layers merged one on top of another in merge2, merge3, merge4, and that these merges are all affected by everything before the 3 lines?

As always Great video. I'm 71 and these video lessons help keep the old gray matter lubricated. Thank again.
Haha. You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed it!
Same for this 73 year old. Love your stuff Casey!

you didnt animate the clouds with keyframes and didnt configurate the apply mode of merge node to ''screen''
Oooooohhhh!!
Now I get it!!
Thank You Casey.
This is like learning a foreign language and you speak it so well.
👍

Well done! I UNDERSTAND how the nodes work! This is such a powerful tool, I need to learn to harness it! More please!
You my friend, are amazing!
Fan-tas-tic tutorial! I am no longer lost and mesmerised by nodes! Thank you!
A really interesting video - Teach a wise man and he will become wiser - as an 80 year old I am still learning - thankyou.
😍😍Please continue to explain the animation from the rest of the video. Thanks 🙏
Beautifully explained. And yes please show us how you did the animation.
Yes, make a video that finishes this clip. These little projects are so fun to do.
Casey, you're a star. You make it look so easy. You are the reason I started using Resolve. Keep them coming dude.
i was excited when i saw the video, but when i heard it was your voice, i was so relieved to know i was actually going to learn something
Well done, thank you. & yes, I'd like to see the rest of your node tree explained. Just learning what nodes are available is a task.
I like the repetition. Since I don't use fusion every day, it's easy to forget what I learned and then get confused when I get in the program. Thanks for the lesson reinforcement! :)
Yes, please continue! My Fusion abilities are improving, but I enjoy beginner content as a refresher.
Thanks!
Great lesson, thanks for slowing it down a little, that helps! Look forward to a part 2 to finish this??
The description of running things through in effect is the perfect way to say this is so easy to understand and quite clear great job
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video! I've been watching you for a while now as I've been working to start my RUclips channel. Your videos are super-helpful. Keep up the great work!
You are the GOAT. I would definitely appreciate you walking through the rest of this comp!
This was a great walkthrough of the "whys" and "hows" of nodes. Thanks.
I remember your toast video which inspired me to learn fusion and this will now be used as a new reference. Thanks for your great teaching knowledge and explanations.
As always So clear and even though I have been using Fusion this makes me realise I ran before I could walk
Casey, thank you, for explaining the process and steps. Too often the vloggers just mouse click ding ding ding ding ding mouse here and there and the viewer has no ability to grasp anything.

very useful. I sort of knew all this stuff but organising the information and defining and explaining methods set it all in the right direction.
When i read the title, i jumped in thinking this was going to address the rasterisation issues when you scale something down, add an effect node such as blur (even if you turn the blend to 0) and scale it back up, you would have lost quality as anything other than merges or XF transforms rasterises the input
Then i realised this is a channel for beginners halfway through the video lol
Though it did seem like one of the better ones of that category
Absolutely yes to learning more on the animation for this
Thanks heaps Casey. Another great tutorial. Please continue with part two as part one was super helpful.
Thank you for your amazingly explained videos for davinci resolve,
I'm a follower from Libya 🇱🇾
I want the rest of the tutorial! I love your vids!
finally understand nodes after many videos, great explanation
Awesome video! Yes, I’d love to see some more of the inner tube cat’s adventures!!
Really impressed with the way of explanation....Thank You...
Casey, if you can, please do an updated video of your scientific render settings! That was extremely helpful for the Resolve community
Another fab video, thanks so much. Did you do a part two?
That is so a great explaining..I like this video yes please do some more of this videos. 🙏 thank you
Super helpful 😮 Thanks ❤
DEFINITELY DIDNT KNOW THERE WERE PRESETS FOR FUSION LAYOUTS 😮
Great work as usual...
A special Thanks for "banging on" about the basic concepts and ordering of nodes ... Very helpful.. ❤
I think God sent me here ……. Either that, or the algorithm. This is something that I had to hear. I actually, now, at the end, finally, understand.
Wow, so clear and patient! Thank-you!
I must say. This is the first time I will open Fusion and actually do something.
👍
Fab as always Casey, yes please to the 2nd part for animation, as this is the next part of my Fusion journey!
Casey - this was excellent. I for one would love to see how the rest of this came together. I’ve been getting use to Fusion and this video was great and helps make sense of using Fusion. So, do another episode showing the rest of the comp.
Please make a part 2 to this. It is very helpful. I would also love to see you talk about key frames. Thanks
Yep. We have a short Keyframes course here: www.groundcontrol.film/tw-keyframe-animation-made-simple
Yes please make the animation video! Would be greatly appreciated
This was wonderful. The elementary teaching is so helpful!
yes please another video! Thanks for this great content.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make part 2+ with the full walk thru for the whole animation !
And or at least show us the settings you used on each effects node (e.g. what you changed on the brightness/contrast node, etc)
Hi Casey,
Really enjoyed the way you present your explanations. I guess I will have to put in a lot more time into getting it right. But sincerely thank you for this.
👍
Love your work and easy to understand. Thanks Mr. Miyagi
Thanks Casey, appreciate all of your efforts.
Having I was trouble this with but super it's now my mind clear in! Casey thanks!
“I was Having trouble with this, but now it’s super clear in my mind. Thanks Casey!”
Thanks Casey. You make things very clear
Thanks, Casey! The light bulb is turning on!
Thank you!!, your videos have helped me a lot to understand this application, what I find hard to understand sometimes is, why people who watch videos on YT, do not help more with giving likes to the videos, thank you very much brother. Part 2 please.
we love to watch the rest of it
Thanks bro, it's totally clear to me. Thanks again 👍
Great video but it skips at about 15:09 when you're explaining mattecontrol1
Super useful. Thank you Casey 👏
Thank you so much Casey 🖤 your lessons and the way you explain that helps me a lot to learn fuision pretty easily!!
May god bless you 🖤
This is an important video! Thank you!
This was fun, thanks! Watched all the way to the end. Downloaded the media. Ended up with a relatively similar floating cat. edit: Appreciated the tip about Workspace arrangement and holding shift while dragging on a node (so it inserts into the middle of a path).

would love the see the rest
Wow big thank you for doing this!!!!

Awesome. You're a light in the dark.
You are really good at what you do
To be continued. Yes please..
Definitely do a Part 2 please 🤞
Yes, do more! Thank you!
Always good stuff!
Great video! Great teacher!
Nice Explanation! Would love to see you illustrate this on an animated party flyer which encompasses a real world use.
Excellent explanation!
how do I change the color of an svg logo?
As always ansome video. keep it up.
do you do one on one classes?
Not at this time.
@@CaseyFaris if you ever do, let me know! im into resolve but cant find any classes that suit me right :] because i already know a lot and all the classes are for beginners. do you have any moderate to advanced classes on youtube?
Great man. Thanks for sharing 😎
Thank you, thank you , thank you 💯💯
YES, lease continue on with this
Even if takes my life.. please contact and help us to learn more on fusion. I dont wanna be an alien with fusion.. and let me know if all you teach is available in free version Da Vinci 18.6. Bless you. Thanks ❤ loved it n more

excellent , thank you so much
You’re a hero Casey! Thank you.
I have a question. Usually I tend not to download Beta versions and rather wait until the official release of the new version. Seems like there are no updates to version 18 after 18.6, so is version 19 stable? If installing it, is it ok to remove version 18.6?
Good job Casey
Thanks a lot.....still can"t understand difference between apply modes.....normal, screen etc...could you cover that ....have a nice day
please explain the 3 lines coming out of transform2 (going to corner position, TimeSpeed1, TimeSpeed2). I assume that flow eventually creates three different layers merged one on top of another in merge2, merge3, merge4, and that these merges are all affected by everything before the 3 lines?
do some more. I watched until the end
