User Manual

When using Fusion on the same computer as Media Composer, there is no need to export the
clips explicitly by checking the Export Clips checkbox. Without this option enabled, Fusion
Connect saves the source frames each time images are displayed, scrubbed, or played back
from the Timeline. Depending on your Media Composer Timeline settings, these interactively
exported images might be half-resolution based on Avid proxy settings. When scrubbing
around the Timeline, only a few frames—namely, those that are fully displayed during
scrubbing—might be written to disk.
TIP: Set your Timeline Video Quality button to Full Quality (green) and 10-bit color bit
depth. If the Timeline resolution is set to Draft Quality (green/yellow) or Best
Performance (yellow), Fusion receives subsampled, lower-resolution images.
Fusion Connect AVX plug-in controls in the Effects Editor.
Edit Effect
After exporting the clips, the Edit Effect button performs three subsequent functions:
 Creates a Fusion composition, with Loaders, Savers, and Merges (for layers), or a
Dissolve (for transitions). This function is only performed the first time a comp is created
when the Fusion Connect AVX2 plug-in is applied.
 Launches Fusion (if installed on the machine), if it is not already launched.
 Opens the Fusion comp associated with created effects.
