So for anyone still interested in this post.
I think I have found the best practive way that this is done.
When you first create your fusion composition, you start from the edit page, right click the clip that is to have the graphic/title over the top of it, and "create a fusion clip". Now when you go to the colour tab, if you are just in your full timeline, the colour grade will be over the whole comp (Fusion clip). So your Fusion titles are essentially baked in. BUT! if you right click on that fusion clip from within the edit tab and select "open in timeline" you can then access the underlying clip, head over to the colour tab and grade that clip individually.
PROBLEM (any one out there got a solution to this?)
The clip you now have in the colour panel is now devoid of any timeline wide nodes. So if you are rocking an over all adjustment like I sometimes do, you cannot see the effect of that grade in conjunction with what ever changes you'd like to make to this individual clip. Which is a pain in the ass, beacuse if you noticed, for instace, that the clips indiuvidual grade, plus the timeline wide grade meant that the clips highlights needed toning down, you have open that fusion clip's timeline, pop over to the clour panel, adjust the highlights, pop back to the edit tab, and then swap over to the over all timeline and then back to colour panel to see what effect that adjustment just made. It would be ideal if there was a way to see adjustments in real time. I feel like I've gone back in time to when I had a much slower computer running speedgrade and I had to wait about 5 seconds for changes to occur in the viewer!
