What I would like to see in future versions of fusion

PostTue Jun 13, 2017 8:41 am

I migrated from After Effects to Fusion a year ago, because nodes are easy to understand, to organize and therefore boost creativity. However, there are two small features I feel like I miss:
1) A grid with snap option and,
2) A waveform in the timeline.

1) can you explain what you mean by that? You mean snapping of f.e. a transform tool?

2) you can already do that. But it's different than you'd expect.
Step 1: add a *saver*
Step 2: go to audio tab, load a WAV-file (not mp3 or something like that)
Step 3: go to timeline, expand your saver and tadaaah: there's your waveform.

Thank you so much Sander, I desperately needed this waveform, it was very difficult to do timing without it. I feel stupid! :D

As for the grid, i meant lines that can be displayed on top of my 2d viewport to serve as guides when I am aligning objects (shapes or texts). An option to snap my objects to these guide, would make it quick and precise.

Glad I could help with at least one part.
As far as I know there's no option to snap to guides at the moment.

The third point I forgot to mention, is a 3D motion path that would be easily modified much like the 2D path.

That's also already available. Just try it.

Better snapping for connection of pipes. I have about a 50% success rate when connecting pipes and its really annoying when trying to work fast.

My vote goes again to Stack node or 2D Merge node that acts like 3D Merge node. Connect as many 2D elements as you want, arrange the order and choose blends between each on the right side tool panel.

That should be easy to do as a Fuse.

Which would be part of my wish... All the tools should be Fuses. If the Fuse API doesn't support something that a tool needs, add it to the API first. Any "secret sauce" that you want to hide would be behind functions in the API.

HDR lighting on 3D scenes with GPU render. Fusion has some really good 3D tools, so it could definitely benefit from it. Plus with the advanced GFX cards today, I believe it's quite doable.

Fusion's lighting is already unclamped float.

Hi Chad.

I'm pretty sure Vassilis means using an HDRI panoramic image to provide image based lighting in the scene.
