Fusion development Roadmap

Hi there,

i loved Fusion in University, but have been using Nuke for a long time now. But now with the Foundry being sold again and again, being under new leadership and seeming to be less and less stable and reliable, I am looking at Fusion as a backup again should the need arise.

I was really thrilled when BM picked Fusion up and see that Linux port as very promising for a planned professional studio-viability approach. But even though I read around in the forums and cg news sites, was not able to find a release schedule for 9, a road map or any indication where the development might be going towards.

Have I simply not looked properly? Can you guys point me to where I can get an idea where and when Fusion is headed?

Thanks a lot,
Jonathan

Not gonna happen. There's a variety of reasons, but the main one being that this is a public forum and without an NDA you won't get that information.

I've expected some information at NAB but experienced ppl in this forum pointed IBC to me.

Hi Guys,

I was not expecting secret internal documents to be posted here

I just, since I have been away from Fusion for so long, have no idea how BMs information policy is. Some companies dont give any roadmap/dates, others give very generic ideas 'We are relasing early next year and the focus will be on exr workflow and performance' and other again, like the Corona devs (search "corona trello" on google - apparently I am not allowed to post links... ) even make the individual tasks they are working on public.

So I was wondering, since I have not found anything official, if there was something in the rumor mill - a dev posting a screenshot, a teaser somewhere, a forum remark by someone etc. - or if there really is no indication when/what Fusion 9 will bring.

Thanks a lot and all the best,
Jonathan

Blackmagic doesn't share much other than soft launches. Like a product will get announced with a feature list that isn't in the shipping product, so you assume that's the roadmap. Doesn't always work though.

There are sources for leaked information, but they aren't here, as this is Blackmagic's own forum and anything that violated an NDA would be removed and people would get banned or worse.

Thanks a lot Chad. Appreciate your feedback.

Didnt realize that BM is so tight lipped about this - so I guess Fusion 9 is like christmas - big suprise when it comes .

Cheers,
Jonathan
