What is the general roadmap for the future of fusion?

Hi.

I'm migrating everything to Fusion, is an astonishing piece of software, and I'm planning to acquire the studio license, now my question is as follows.

I would like to know the future roadmap for Fusion, that is to be sure that Fusion won't be let to die and will be a forgotten piece of software in the next years as happened with Composite or Combustion for example, learning Fusion is an investment in money and time, so I woule like to be sure that the investment I'm doing, not just economically (wich is not too big and I'm eternally grateful to blackmagic for this) but in time is not going to be a mistake

Cheers!

No mistake!
We are seriously committed to Fusion.
Just see what we did with Davinci as an example.

Don't worry, have fun!

Also remember that BMD has approximately two commercial applications available as standalones. That's a lot of weight on each.

With Combustion or Composite, Autodesk had multiple applications that did the same thing, and that was a small potatoes part of the dozens of standalone applications they sold at the time. It's easy to kill Combustion when you have Flame seats to sell, and it's easy to kill Flame when you make your real money on the giant shoulders of AutoCAD, Inventor, Revit, etc..

a curious question, so can we dig a little big deeper and longer for answers?
we all know that Eyeon was "shy" on any news regarding future of Fusion.
Perhaps BMD will show us a little more luv?
sth along the line:
" We (BMD) are mainly focusing on re-writing Fu to be able to port it to Mac and Linux, meanwhile working on some new features A,B,C, which can be presented on NAB"...
more or less (rather more, if i may ask )
any news at all..

I too would like to know more. Hoping for some type of announcement or news prior to NAB, really wish it will be available for OS X soon. Along those lines, hoping to get realtime playback in the Resolve edit page.

In the last years I saw 2 companies buy my particular softwares I love.

Softimage was bought by Autodesk: And this gave me a bad feeling from the beginning and what happened? No serious development & no serious marketing for it and as high point they EOLed Softimage. What a xxxxxxx company!

AND

Fusion is now bought by BlackMagic: It is a little bit early but I think that is cool! They seem to listen to users, solve problems and do marketing for it. And there seems to be some development going on. As Fusion is a quite good piece of software I believe in a good future for fusion.

my opinion and just a feeling...

Fusion is one of the best compositing software out there. For some artists it is actually the best one. I don't think that it will be EOLed any time soon.

The only problem i see since BlackMagic took control of it is that there are no change logs anywhere anymore.

There are new versions coming out and nobody knows exactly what has changed, what is fixed or what needs to be fixed.

This is a serious issue and if Eric or Rony is reading this... we need some kind of feedback guys! This is important!

If you read Grant's post at the top of the Forum, Fusion for Mac OSX, this is the big job on hand. This is not a small task at all and the team has to keep very focused to complete.

Fusion Studio 7.7 was released today, so there are plenty of updates coming out for everyone.

Hi Steve,

This is good to hear. Is there some sort of 'change list' for the new 7.7 release?

A Announcement about what they intend to do with Fusion would be great!!! What are the goals in the next years!!!

Considering BMD hasn't tipped it's hand about any future hardware developement, I doubt there's going to do the same for software. Feel free to speculate, of course, but I doubt official word on anything will be forthcoming, certainly not for things more than a few weeks out.

Any info somewhere about new features in Fu8?
