Dear BMD,
It has been a long time since we heard any news on what is going on with Fusion standalone (AKA Fusion for Grown Ups).
We have not had a maintenance release of nearly a year now, there are plenty of bugs that really need to be looked at, I myself have sent dozens of logs in and raised many issues. Personally, I don’t accept the excuse of integration into Resolve is reason enough to have neglected Fusion standalone so badly and it is not good for the existing user base or additional sales.
Fusion is a great product and I felt it was on the cusp of breaking through with Nukes prohibitive pricing and heavy-handed business tactics but it has lost momentum and the I have seen a number of people balk away from Fusion it because they’re unsure about its future.
Serious compositors are not going to use Fusion inside Resolve. It just does not make sense, we don’t need all the additional functionality and overheads, sure Fusion in Resolve maybe be useful occasionally but not to Fusions core user group.
I have spent over 25K on Blackmagic gear in the last 6 years so I feel it’s not unreasonable to ask what the heck is going on. I cannot see how radio silence benefits anyone including BMD.
So BMD, do the decent thing and let us know what is happening, we don’t need it sugar coated, if you’re looking to discontinue then so be it, a couple of sentences and we can all move on.
If others feel the same please raise your voice, maybe we can get a response.
