Fusion Studio 17.4.6 on Windows, prores 4444 and alpha ok

Yes... You may have noticed if you read that the thread title lacks "... in M1 Macs"...

Just wanted to add. In the current ver. 18 beta, Prores 4444 is still broken and will not display alpha properly.
The same files work correctly in After Effects and Final Cut Pro. So as previously mentioned, this appears to be an issue with Fusion Studio 17 and 18, and this sucks.

Can you check if the issue persists in the 18.0 beta 3 update?

Well, sad to tell you it still doesn't work :

1/ importing a PR4444 with alpha still bakes a black BG in the imported file, and therefore also if you export it, no matter what you try ;

2/ exporting a PR4444 from a PSD or PNG (whose alpha are checkable in the viewer) now exports a PR4444 with alpha respected. Cool. Checked in Resolve BTW...

Didn't have time enough to check more alpha featured file formats than these 2, but I'm pretty confident it will work (as long as you can see it in the viewer obviously)...

Sorry... :(

Didn't event DL the beta 4, as nothing referred to this main issue in the "What's New" description, which makes it totally unusable for me and my partners anyway...

Some of them try to get me on the same way they're beginning to choose (NukeX), which is exactly what I don't want to do so far. Normally only those who are to work in studios do, now the exodus starts to be wider for those on Silicon M1

I'm impressed how you dive on any new beta !!! :mrgreen: Just a few minutes after the release online, man...
What's new in Fusion Studio 18.0b5
Addressed incorrect mask output from wand tool with floating point sources.
Addressed an issue with changing tracker checkboxes.
Addressed the inspector not updating when downstream of viewed nodes.
Addressed an issue with viewer overlays on cached controls with expressions.
Addressed an issue with stacked 360º views in stereo 3D.

Ok... Maybe I'll DL it one of these days... :roll:
I'll probably as quick as you the time I'll read
Adressed an issue with alpha output was no more supported in ProRes 4444

or maybe
Adressed a regression with ProRes 4444 could not be used with alpha anymore on M1 Macs

or even
Adressed an issue with ProRes 4444 that prevent Mac M1 users to keep Fusion Studio as their main compositor platform

if not
Adressed an issue with the fact we couldn't have Fusion Studio work as we surprinsingly could inside Resolve's tab

Deep in my heart I am still a Fusion fanboy and I follow BM on Twitter. But unfortunately I had to do every job in the past 5 month on Nuke cause I cannot use Fusion Studio for client critical work anymore and this is so sad!

While crying all the tears I had just before starting a new project (with 37 Go PR4444 more I was given for it :evil: ), I checked "open with Rosetta" at cmd + i on Fusion 17 studio app file (in the applications folder)...

Guess what : ProRes 4444 imported ok with alpha, can you believe that ? Am I the only goofy dumb guy who had not given a try to this ? :o
Did someone mention that here around ?

Yeah... I know... performance, and this, and that...
But after trying so hard to start in ReFusion, just making "Fusion clips" and having to re-do it because of issues when just adding a clip by dragging and dropping it the legacy way, I also discovered other no go stuff which led me to the opinion I already had : Resolve is my edit and grading tool only, and it will definitely remain it, but for matte paintings, set extensions, CGI and VFX or 3d obj and fbx, come on, I'll stay on Fusion studio standalone...

So like a fool, I'll use Fusion Studio opened with Rosetta for my tons of ProRes 4444 to be imported the way it has to, and that's it so far... Down in the dumps...

BTW, maybe it had been written but how do you have Reactor available in Resolve to use it with fusion tab ? (if possible) THX in advance if you know the answer...
