When you have a MediaOut node on the Fusion page, it starts with MediaOut1. And by default, that feeds the Edit/Color processing path.
Additional MediaOut nodes are intended for use with mattes on the Color page. Each additional MediaOut number feeds the corresponding Source input on the Color page node tree.
If you right click in the Color page node tree area, and select "Add Source", you'll see additional node tree source's appear on the left. In your case, if you add 2 more sources, and hover the mouse over each source, you'll see the hover text tell you what's feeding that source. Source 1 and 2 will say "No Fusion Output". Source 3 will say MediaOut3. So to solve your issue, connect the node in the node tree to source 3, instead of 1.
Or, on the Fusion page, if you select the MediaOut3 node, you'll see it has an Index value of 2. If you change that Index value to 0, that will make your comp output appear on the first source on the Color Page node tree.
I'm not sure from a "proper Fusion practice" perspective which is the better approach, but either should solve your issue.
Edit: It appears the best practices way would be to rename the node to MediaOut1, and set the Index from 2 back to 0.
I assume you have a MediaOut3 node, because you were messing with MediaOut nodes earlier, and deleted MediaOut1 and 2.
I just want to say. THANK YOU!
I was pulling my hair out as to why I was getting no video into the color tab when the fusion clip was so clearly feedint stuff into media out...
Let's hope this becomes waaaaaay more intuitive in the future. Because guessing that MediaOut has to be named MediaOut1 and Index has to be set to zero in order for anything to show up at source 1 at the color tab... How in the heck was I supposed to find out that? Because that's some 1990's era Point and Click Adventure Moon-logic right there. Especially since I did not actively change the index myself... some other thing did that. And in my trials I tried replacing the Media Out node in desperation to see if it defaulted back to correct settings.
Anyway. I just had to give thanks in this one here thread. Because I could not find anything as I was googling around to find out what I was doing "wrong".
