Dear all;
I'm absolutely amazed by the progress shown with the Beta release of Resolve 15 - with yet another large and important expansion of functionality made possible by the Fusion integration, only several months after incorporating FairLight in Release 14; good job, BMD! Add to it the fact that - after I complained in this forum about the strange performance drop in the Color tab when Scopes were displayed - Rohid Gupta of BMD contacted me privately, and this cooperation has been a total success: with the 15 Beta release, the reason for that strange but serious flaw has been eliminated by the wonderful team of BMD's Resolve developers, and I can again enjoy the absolutely perfect performance I got used to back in the times of Release 12.5 (or actually even better) - again, a fantastic job and a great example of cooperating with the end-user base
As many of you guys might remember, grading and editing has never been my main professional activity; one of the areas I actually never actually used enough to master has been compositing. Now - with Fusion accessible inside the Resolve suite - I'd very much to start learning and fill that hole. To make it possible, I downloaded the Fusion 9 User Manual pdf, and use my spare time (don't have much of it, unfortunately)...Having already grasped the general idea of how Fusion works, and the compositing application(s) in particular - I'd really appreciate it if somebody here helped me get the idea of the actual Resolve (i.e. color grading and program editing) interaction with compositing as implemented in the Fusion tab (page) of the system...
Like for example:
- what the most typical scenarios of said integration are?
- what the most typical workflow looks like (e.g.: is the core Resole/Fusion "round-tripping" done between the Fusion and Edit tabs, or Color and Fusion tabs? etc...)
- I assume that with such a tight integration with the rest of the system, there is no need to set up Fusion "Projects" and/or rendering them out separately before returning to the Edit or Color pages; is this a right assumption or the notion of Fusion projects and (rendered) compositions still valid, if so -when?
- if the above assumption is valid though, is the recommended workflow assuming edit/grading with in-line results of compositing in the Fusion tab? If so - in order to achieve the most fluent playback of the timeline being edited or graded - is it enough to use caching the Fusion's Flow Node Editor just like we're caching all the computationally "heavy" stuff in the Edit and/or Color pages?
Of course, there's a plethora of relevant questions like the above ones which I have omitted simply because my lack of experience (which shows in the way I worded those questions I managed to ask at all) - so please be easy on me, and try to help in my kick-starting to use Fusion TIA,
