This is for those who need the Color Page grade to be BEFORE Fusion. There have been feature requests for this, but it already exists.

Stepping directly to Fusion page loads the unprocessed Media Pool clip into Fusion.

New Fusion Clip menu item preserves the current Color Page adjustments BEFORE creating the Fusion Clip. This allows for normalising log footage etc before doing Fusion compositing.
After creating a Fusion Clip and making your fusion effects, you can change the Color Page grade that feeds into Fusion by using the Open in Timeline menu item. The changes will then appear in the Fusion input.

It is not very well documented.

Nice tip.

Thanks for explaining this, I didn't grasp it the first time you mentioned!

I was discussing this briefly with youtuber [davinci resolved]

and he pointed out that one of the issues with this approach is that the Colour page doesn't preserve the Alpha channel when outputting which would make it difficult to make changes to the asset you are applying in Fusion.

If we want to be able to carry composites from things such as the new mesh tracker or the person tracker, the alpha would be needed so as to be useful in the fusion page

+1!!
