Inserting an MP4

Hi,

This is the first time I have used Fusion. I have used Premier Pro briefly.

I'm looking forward to using it, but I can't even get the basics of inserting a file correct.

I have tried drag and drop and right-click> Add Tool > I/O > Loader, but the best I have come up with is a yellow bar with Loader written in it.

Would appreciate a bit of help.

Thanks.

I know this is a very basic question but I would really appreciate some help as I cannot even start to use this programme yet.

Thanks.

Hi Bo,

keep in mind that Premiere is an editing tool and Fusion is a compositing tool.

Fusion is more tailored to give you an huge ammount of control on joining several elements together in a relatively short scene. Premiere, on the other hand, is focused on fastly putting several scenes in sequence.

In other words they're not a substitute of each other.

That said, Fusion operation is very peculiar given its node based interface.

I strongly recomend vewing this tutorials that are focused on the very basics of Fusion:
