Fusion for Production - VFX Compositing with Fusion - 02a Fusion Studio vs DaVinci Resolve Workflow

In this tutorial series, we will talk about Blackmagic Fusion Studio and Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve (Fusion page) as a professional VFX Compositing package. We will dive into basic workflows and techniques to make your daily compositing work more effective and fun. We start this tutorial by discussing the differences between using Fusion inside of the free version of DaVinci Resolve to the paid version of Fusion Studio and DaVinci Resolve Studio. I give you a list of features, what you get in the paid versions and why they are so useful in production. Also we talk about the differences in working in Fusion Studio vs the Fusion Page in DaVinci Resolve and when which of these workflows are more useful. After that we will dive into Fusion Studio to learn about basic Fusion concepts, beginning with the User Interface, Node Trees, Tools and a first composite from Loader to the Saver for the final output. This should help you to understand Fusion as a node-based compositor and helps you in understanding the more advanced workflows in the second part of this lesson, which will then dive into Fusion Compositing inside of the DaVinci Resolve Environment.
