Well, it is - but isn't.
My daughter and I have both been taking VFX-online course.
Today in the lesson about Chroma Key, we had to use a BSpline around the 'ozzy' character.
(with guitar)
1: Keyframe the beginning (sometimes it auto keyframes - sometimes you have to do it)
2: Go to the end and select all and drag the Bspline to 'ozzy's' new position - using the middle widget
2b: Check out the first frame, and... Doh! (Didnt keep!)
Solution:
Apparently you just cant select all and drag the main arrows/widget around...
... you have to select all - then click on the tiniest little node (any) and drag it in order for it to recognize that it needs to set the keyframe.
(Dont worry - if you click the keyframe after repositioning 'ozzy' using the main middle widget - you will still have NO luck... only moving the tiny nodes will do it for you.)
VERY confusing to noobs, and (old people alike)
*ease of use* with Fusion sometimes... well, doesn't feel that intuitive
Hoping Fusion gets some love in 18 (as it has listed the least amount of updates listed with 17)
There really isnt that much material for Fusion like AE online for learning- so here is hoping that somehow Fusion becomes a thing that people can easily transition to.
Thanks for listening!

Lets try to keep it that way.
