How do you find what's feeding a MediaIn node?

PostMon May 12, 2025 5:29 am

I selected a couple of events in my timeline and made a Fusion clip out of them.

The editor, as a placeholder, had shrunk a video clip down and positioned it over a computer screen, which I'm now going to replace with a proper Fusion effect.

But I can't find how to gain access to the original video source and the transformation applied to it. It doesn't matter what I select for Media Source in the Media In node. I tried Media Pool, and it made no difference.

Screen shot attached. How do I clear the transformation?

This is all you see in the timeline. I don't see any option in any context menus to reveal more.

It appears to be a compound clip. If you right click it in the Edit page, there should be an option to 'view it in timeline' or something like that. This will open a mini timeline containing all the clips that make up your temp composit.

That's great, Sander... we were posting at the same time. Thanks a lot! You would have solved it for me. I was typing:

For anyone else who's looking for this in the future: The solution was to right-click the Fusion composition that replaced the original events in the timeline, and select "open in timeline." This creates a new timeline containing only the original elements.

For some reason this was non-intuitive; I expected language similar to what appears for compound clips or collapsed timelines or whatever, which I think is different. Anyway, problem solved!
