What is your take with Free version of Fusion? Mac version is coming.

What is your take on the free version of Fusion?
It is defiantly a awesome announcement! A course for serious work you will need the studio version but for $995 what more do you need?
My coworker already has the mind set forget After Effects and Motion. :ohmy:
I will defiantly take look at Fusion especially since it has Nodes!!!

As far as I know, there is no mac version of Fusion.

When you say 'serious work' do you mean 4k output?

Right now I'm using Blender when I need a nodal compositor and Motion and FCP X for my more routine day-to-day routines. I'm interested to see what Fusion on OS X is going to look like. I'm really curious to see if it's XML workflow will work as well with Resolve as FCP X does (or, for that matter, if it will work well with FCP X.)

If you're interested in nodal compositors that work with FCP X, you might want to give Conduit a look as well. It's free and you can use it a a stand-alone application or a plugin that works within Motion 5 and FCP X.

Nope, but as I mentioned it is coming. :woohoo:

According to Petty, the Blackmagic is indeed working on a Mac OSX version for all you Apple fans out there. It seems the sticking point, thus far, has been some "Windows specific code in the buttons and menus in Fusion," which are in the process of being re-coded for OSX. In fact, Blackmagic has "doubled the size of the [Fusion] engineering team," which should speed up the process. But Petty was quick to point out that, even with more coders, its impossible to predict when Fusion for OSX will be available to demo, let alone for general download.

it never gave me that warm and fuzzy feeling like Shake did. For serious work I mean requiring: advanced optical flow image analysis tools for stereoscopic 3D work, retiming and stabilization. Also third-party OpenFX plugins support, unlimited distributed network rendering, and Generation for studio wide multi user collaboration to track, manage, review and approve shots when working with large creative teams on complex projects.

So what are you using now Scrubelicious?
