Nodes on second display

PostMon Oct 07, 2019 5:57 pm

Hi,

I am working more and more with fusion. But something could really speed up the process :
Is it possible to put the Nodes page on a second display ? I think we really need it.

Thanks

I would love to see this as an option. Making bigger Fusion comps in Resolve starts to take up large chunks of real estate quickly.

Fusion has a ton of amazing features.

Fusion also lacks a bunch of really common features from other programs.

I get it. I can live with it.

But then there are some head scratchers like this one. WHY hasnt BMD thought of this yet? Seems like such an obvious thing to expect, but no. BMD, c'mon man. You gave us a $10,000 software for free and we love you for it. Why cant you let us undock our toolbars?

Maybe I just need to constantly zoom in and out of my node trees and pay my dues.

You can actually undock your flow in Fusion 16.
Try this in your console:
Lua:
Code: Select all
flow = comp.CurrentFrame.FlowView
flow:Undock()

or Python:
Code: Select all
flow = comp.CurrentFrame.FlowView
flow.Undock()

Unfortunately, you won't be able to re-Dock your flow back until Fusion is restarted. Looks like this feature is not tested at all. For instance, you should not click Spline or Keyframes button, because UI may become very unpredictable.
Probably, new floating window, as suggested by aomay77, would be better, because you can have multiple tabs there, or even multiple layouts on single frame.

Or without Console scripts..

You can go to the Menu "Window" select "New floating frame" then Right click over the new window -> Add View -> Flow and then you can move the window on the monitor you want.

You can continue to add other views on the same floating view by pressing right click -> View layout -> Add view -> whatever you want and wherever you want

Hope the attached image helps
