Not to be too picky, but it’s 15 Beta 2, not 1.5 🙂
Oops! you’re right. We travelled back in time 10 years. Fixed!
I hope same love for Fusion…
With all the years as evidence, and seeing they integrated it into Resolve, do you expect love for Fusion stand alone?
Fusion 6 vs Fusion 9 for example, you can do pretty much the same thing minus the tracking. but since BMD acquired Fusion, they didn’t do anything but remove features, ruin the nice stability Fusion once had and pretty much stop developing it because they wanted to port it to Mac (their true love) and Linux.
It got cheaper yes, and then cheaper again. but it doesn’t really fix that for Windows users Fusion just got ruined. First porting to mac, then porting it to linux, then adding dumb VR features instead of highly requested ones for years, and now the integration into Resolve.
So all they have done is pretty much doing everything but developing Fusion for the artist, for the person who really use the software. stupid VR features not many use, instead of a PBR engine to get rid of that old OpenGL renderer, a proper EXR importer, etc etc. At least we finally got 3D tracking and Planar tracking, but those 2 features don’t justify the stability issues and how Windows users saw features removed and not really new features until Fusion 9.
Now they integrated it into Resolve, without any real survey or reason, they did it “just because they felt they wanted it” yeah it is good for Resolve users, and it gives Fusion life since more people will be using it. but that took resources from standalone, and will slowdown even more Fusion development for sure. The only way they will be able to fix it is by removing standalone and go full resolve, but then, that would be a bad move for the many people who uses Fusion and not resolve.
So I don’t think Fusion will get much love, Resolve is the one who will, and they will spend time integrating fuses and plugins and other features missing into Resolve version of Fusion and maybe standalone will get something in some months, but I am sure they are working hard on Resolve version, not standalone, just like they have never really have, or at least not for Windows users.
But why would you assume that Fusion will stop being developped because it’s getting integrated into Resolve ?? They’re just packaging two apps into one. Fusion is still Fusion, except it:s being delivered in one big app called Resolve .
