Blackmagic Fusion (formerly eyeon Fusion and briefly Maya Fusion, a version produced for Alias-Wavefront) is post-production image compositing developed by Blackmagic Design and originally authored by eyeon Software. It is typically used to create visual effects and digital compositing for movies, TV-series and commercials and employs a node-based interface in which complex processes are built up by connecting a flowchart or schematic of many nodes, each of which represents a simpler process, such as a blur or color correction. This type of compositing interface allows great flexibility, including the ability to modify the parameters of an earlier image processing step "in context" (while viewing the final composite). Upon its acquisition by Blackmagic Design, Fusion was released in two versions: the freeware Fusion, and the commercially sold Fusion Studio.
Fusion was originally developed in 1987 as in-house software developed for use by New York Production & Design (NYPD), a post production and visual effects boutique based out of Sydney, Australia. The very first version of the software was written in DOS and consisted of little more than a UI framework for quickly chaining together the output of pre-existing batch files and utilities. eyeon Software Inc. was formed specifically to commercialize Fusion, and all operations relating to the software were moved to Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Hey Bernd, in Fusion 5.2 back in 2010 to 2014 there was a shortcut to maximize/fullscreen the viewer. I guess it was either F5 or F7 however I have not found it yet in fusion 16 or 18. Is there any shortcuts. And I also have not found it in hotkey manager to customize.
In this video we are going to take a series of footage clips shot for a film in HD THEN edit it together inside fusion using the timeline system. We will then create unique visual FX styles for various events on each sub clip, unifying the entire look across multiple clips while we then grade the whole lot into one believable sequence.
