Hi

Is there a way to color the duplicated items created by a duplicate node with a color range?

I apologize if this is a dumb/remedial issue. I'm sure it is.

I've been working on a couple small visual effects shots for my short. Nothing crazy - mainly masking out some times on cell phone clocks, screen replacements, etc.

All of a sudden, yesterday as I was working on an effect shot I ran into the problem that when I pull media from my media pool into fusion, when I hit 1 on the new Media In node of the piece of media I brought in the preview screen just shows it as transparent.

I tried attaching that media to a Media Out node to see if it shows up in the timeline, but it doesn't. It also doesn't seem to matter if the media is an image or video, both will appear as transparent.

And the media is still there in the pool. I can pull it into the timeline and see it fine on the Edit page.

As far as my system, I am working off an old Macbook Pro (late 2013 model) with a 2.6 GHz quad-core processor (intel i7) with 16 gigs of ram and an NVidia GeForce GT 750 graphics card. I'm editing everything off of a Samsung T5 external SSD.

Any help you all could offer would be greatly appreciated. In the meantime I'll keep noodling and searching to try and solve the problem.

Thanks

hello, I'm new to using fusion software recently, I'm using nuke before , but I'm facing a problem why multiply in nuke and fusion looks so different

​

in nuke everything looks ok , while in fusion the center become transparant

New fusion user here. I'm pulling my hair out at the moment hah. I tracked a shot and exported an FBX. All I'm seeing in maya is the camera and an image plane with my footage. Is is possible to export the point cloud to know where to place my 3d GEOs? Thanks!

So I have a Fusion clip that is composed of two video, one is the bg and the other is a resized video, with alpha channel (a 3d comp). When I initially created the clip, everything was fine, but almost everytime now when I open again my project, the overlay image (the one with the alpha channel transparency) appears black. If I reload this video again (as an input in fusion page), it works, until next time... any ideas ?

Hello everyone. I'm completley new to using BMFusion. I've downloaded the free version so I can create a VFX video for an upcoming group video collab. This video is due on Aug 4 around 3pm PST. Basically I want to make a video that includes the effects featured in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05PGGBKI8DA (from 00:00 to 00:15). My plan is to record myself doing the same thing and add the needed objects in front and behind me using BMFusion.

Any suggestions, comments, questions are welcome! Thank you!

Hi, I am getting painfully low frame rates when working with 3d inside of fusion. We are talking 8.3sec/frame. I am not saying my setup is the best - but it sure as shit isn't bad.Have i completly misjudged what fusion needs?

My specs are:Threadripper 3670x (32cores)128GB RamRTX 3090

I am truing to do this tut for a project:Realistic 3D Earth Tutorial | Davinci Resolve 17 - YouTube

Is there anything I can do to speed it up?And/or will it help to purchase the studio dongle?

Update 040621 - disconnected the speed-editor, now everything is running somewhat smooth again.

Hi, Im trying to steady a greensreen monitor then add a delta keyer then add a copied inverse steady planatransform. The issue I have that when I add the delta keyer into the mix, I lose the edge info. I have clipping mode set to domain. I think my flow isnt working well. any ideas?

I understand Fusion 9 is still available as a free standalone application for OSX, having a hard time finding a download link for the installation files. Can anyone point me toward a working link?

Hey everyone,

Bit techy but here we go..

I'm learning fusion and I'm coming from Nuke.I'm a digital matte painter and in Nuke I used a function in the 'reformat' node that was very helpful for me using camera projections. With this function, I was able to export a slightly bigger canvas than the project resolution. This way I had more room to paint a matte painting outside the camera frame, and then when setting up the camera projection back in Nuke, the matte painting would still cover everything regardless of camera shake and other wild movements. (Because I have painted extra matte painting bits outside of the frame)In the reformat node I could set the mode to 'scale', now by dragging the slider from 1 to 1.5 it would enlarge my project from 2048x858 to 3,072x1,287, but giving me an empty border around my image.

When importing the matte painting back into Nuke I would use the earlier generated 1.5 value and divide it with my projector focal length to correct the projector. (For instance: 24mm/1.5=16mm)

I've found that there is a resize node, but it doesn't have the option to reformat by a scale value. This scaling value is very important for me.. Is there another way to get this working in fusion?

Thanks for taking the time to read. I hope one can answer!

Hello there,

I'm a beginner at fusion. I have a 3D render that contains RGB+A, I'd like to shuffle out just the alpha channel. (Basically removing the RGB and keeping only the alpha). How can I do this? Thank you

I’m running into some major issues with trying to render a small 2 minute clip. It’s of a man staring at a burning house, except the “house on fire” is really just his glasses roto’ed out and overlayed with a small model house and a couple of clips of fire from Production crate.

Looks decent but Resolve absolutely refuses to render it crashing at random points during the render. Doesn’t matter iff I render in 4K, 1080p, or even 720p, it’ll crash at different places unrelated to the resolution I pick.

If it doesn’t crash it will show a different kind of weird behavior in that it will be rendering on the eGPU and seem to be moving along fine when suddenly all activity on the eGPU stops and the CPU cores max out and resolve stops responding. Also weird at this point is that the fans do not kick in as they usually do when the CPU cores max out on a heavy task so while the activity monitor appears to show the cores maxed out, it also doesn’t appear like they’re doing anything. The system remains responsive and I can even fire up and run Lightroom no problem. Although the cores are all maxed resolve rendering appears to be frozen at whatever percentage it was at when this starts.

The fires, the middle house and the man are all 4K. The man and the model house were shot on a BMPCC4K in braw 3:1.

There are 4 clips with effects, the heaviest of which is MochaPro doing the root and tracking of his eyeglasses, while one clip has MochaPro stabilizing the dolly push in which had a few bumps. The other 3 clips are on a tripod with just his head moving a bit back and forth naturally.

The system is a 2017 iMac 5K w/4.2GHz Quad-Core i7. 64GB RAM, internal Radeon Pro 580 and external via thunderbolt Vega 64 house in an Akitio Node Pro. All software and plugins are the very latest versions.

One last bit of weirdness is that when tracking the eyeglass in a couple of clips, MochaPro would run along fine for a bit and then suddenly start to max out the system memory. I’d have to force quit everything and start again. I was able to get it to complete the tracking after a few times of doing this and memory was maxed out threatening to freeze everything as I did it.

Activity monitor images showing things not looking right

Slow but steady progress CPU/GPU looks like this

Any insight or help would be much appreciated thanks!

As a personal project for myself I wanna make a video clip very similar to the first 20 seconds of this clip

I can already see for the photos I'll be using Davinci's basic zoom features to rotate and zoom out and (Still unsure how to make the photos "spin" or slide up and down) but already I know I'll need to create scrolling text with shadow effects and those scrolling yellow lines. I've found some Fusion basic tutorials online but to avoid me asking too many questions are there any tutorials that focus on these elements that anyone here can point me too. I find these beginner tutorials touch on a lot of basics while I know the stuff I need is gonna be a bit more advanced.

I'm new to Fusion I'm trying to figure out how to replace ae with it for my mograph work is there away to work with sound or is it I have to do my mograph and use another software to combine my audio with it?

I need to buy Fusion Studio for a project that's about to start in the next couple days.

I need to get going on it right away and can't really afford to wait for a dongle to ship to my house, especially with how delayed shipping is right now.

Is there a way to buy Fusion Studio 16 and get an activation key instead of requiring a dongle?

As a less desirable alternative, is there at least a 30 day trial that would hold me over while I wait for the dongle to arrive?

Been trying to switch totally from After Effects, but the only thing keeping me in After Effects is being able to bring in Camera data and "In Place" 3d Planes for compositing needs. Is there a way to bring in a camera FBX or Alembic? I've been going through google and other forums, but most of the answers/questions are for the Resolve Fusion and doesn't seem to work with Fusion 16.

Some answers say to import using the File menu but I can't seem to get any camera data in even with different test FBX files from different packages and FBX versions.

Pretty sure I missed something.

TLDR; can't figure out how to get 3D camera data from C4D/Maya > Fusion 16

i've never been able to get ffmpeg and mp4 files to not crash fusion. my current work around is to just create png strips but that uses a lot of disk space, and is kind of anoying.

ive seen in fusion logs that it sees ffmpeg existing and it's version, but actually importing footage crashes.

is there any way to fix this or another video format that stock fusion actually works with.

Is there anyway to interactive render skip frames like in AE?

​

Thank you in advance.

Is there a way to import multiple sequences into Fusion at one time? Usually, my 3D passes have many passes/sequences and I'm finding it super annoying to recreate a loader node for each and every pass. I love how in nuke you can create a Loader node and select multiple sequences and it brings them all in. Any way of doing something like that in Fus?

Thanks in advance.

a Noob.
