Blackmagic Fusion Training

Blackmagic Fusion Training

This Blackmagic Fusion training will provide a broad understanding of compositing in Fusion’s node based environment. Training will look at working with the interface to compositing in multi-planed 3D environments, working with particle effects, and Fusion’s integration with Resolve.

Fusion is an advanced compositing software used extensively by visual effects artists, broadcast and motion graphic designers and 3D animators. With over 25 years of development, Fusion has been used on over 1000 major Hollywood blockbuster feature films! Fusion features an easy and powerful node based interface so you can construct complex effects simply by connecting various types of processing together. That’s super easy and extremely fast!

About the Trainer

Fusion trainer Graham Davidson has many years experience working in animation and motion graphics design. In his early days he worked extensively with computer controlled rostrums and motion control rigs and was among the first animators in Australia to become involved in computer animation. Over the years, he’s seen many technologies come and go, and has developed expertise in an extensive range of animation and editing software. He began working with Fusion in the late nineties. Since then, it has become his primary composting software, being used in some way on every commercial he produces.
