Rendering with Fusion
When you perform a render of your comp inside Fusion Studio, the results are rendered to the
output folder created by Fusion Connect during the initial application of the plug-in to the
Timeline. Upon rendering, you immediately see the results of the rendered Fusion comp in the
Avid Timeline. Even while Fusion is rendering, you can continue with the edit process on any
clip except for the associated clip being rendered at the time.
Directory Structure of
Fusion Connect Media
Fusion Connect creates a logical folder structure that is not affiliated with the Avid Media Files
folder, but rather the Fusion Connect AVX2 plug-in. Based on data gathered during the AVX
application to the Timeline, a logical folder hierarchy is automatically created based on Avid
projects, sequences, and clips. This structure allows for multiple instances of Fusion Studio to
access the media and multiple instances of the AVX to relate to a single Fusion comp. In a
re-edit situation, media is never duplicated but is overwritten to avoid multiple copies of
identical media.
