Hey everyone
As much as I love Fusion there are a few annoyances to which I could not find a helpful fix in the forum. Maybe some of you can help out but if those are unworkable, I hope BlackMagic sees them and improves those with a future update.
1. Editing separate words within a Text+ clip or node
If you have some text inside a Text+ node or clip and you want to make specific words bold / a different color or font etc, you can't do that. You would need a separate node for that. WHY? This is completely doable within the regular Text clips in the edit page so why can't we do the same in Fusion?
2. Fusion composition messed up after changing timeline aspect ratio.
Let's say you do a project in 16:9 with lots of Fusion compositions and you need a master of the same video in 1:1 aspect ratio. When you duplicate the original 16:9 timeline and change the aspect ratio, every node in every Fusion comp takes on that same aspect ratio, which results in a complete mess where the individual elements change their size and position inside the composition. The only fix I know of is to manually change the aspect ratio inside the image tab of EVERY. SINGLE. NODE to the original aspect ratio. Ain't nobody got time for that! Is there no way to have auto resolution inside the image tab disabled by default?
3. Clip lengths inside Fusion comp shorten arbitrarily
This has to be a bug. You know in the keyframe tab you see how long each of the nodes are displayed inside your composition? By default they all match the length of your composition. But many times certain nodes just shorten arbitrarily after you closing and reopening Resolve on another workday, so during the composition, those elements just suddenly disappear from the screen (An image, text or anything). Often times I only notice that after rendering and then I have to go back into Fusion and drag those nodes out until they line up with the end of the composition. Has anybody ever experienced that same issue?
I'd be really happy if there is or will be a way to fix these issues
