Fusion is a great compositing app. It just need to market itself more to regain some space. And improve the website design. 😡
yes indeed. We use it since more then 10 years, i can’t imagine gfx&vfx work without anymore…
Looks like a solid release.
I used to use fusion a lot, but I have since been clamped between the most seen two works of compositing, namely AE and Nuke and it seems a bit like Fusion is fighting a war no one has heard about? or am I flat out wrong? is there “common” studios that use fusion instead of the other 2?
There is many studios. Even Blur(?). Actually Fusion have everything that is needed for full CGI production and Imho, if there is no necessity for stereo/roto/tracking, Fusion is number One comp software for Windows OS.
Pixomondo (just the first one that comes in my mind) utilize Fusion – although it is less a “common” studio. It is more “elite” studio.
To check Fusion studios and productions, just go to their homepage and take a look at the movies line-up.
(anyway, i think this comparison which Hollywood studio uses what and then comparing it to own 3 man studio mini-clip production is silly. Look at your own, my or any other freelancer demo-reel – for that “simple” stuff even Composite is sometimes too much. Or you have EUR 6000,- for Nuke and don’t take have other problems in life 🙂
“if there is no necessity for stereo/roto/tracking”
I’d say it’s the other way around. Fusion has really great stereo and roto tools. There are some stereoscopic post conversion studios that chose Fusion mostly for roto.
