User Manual

Status Bar
The status bar at the bottom of the Fusion page, immediately above the Resolve Page bar,
shows you a variety of up-to-date information about things you’re selecting and what’s
happening in the Fusion page. For example, hovering the pointer over any node displays
information about that node in the status bar (as well as in a floating tooltip), while the currently
achieved frame rate appears whenever you initiate playback, and the percentage of the RAM
cache that’s used appears at all times. Other information, updates, and warnings appears in this
area as you work.

The Console
The console, available by choosing Workspace > Console, is a window in which you can see
the error, log, script, and input messages that may explain something the Fusion page is trying
to do in greater detail. The console is also where you can read FusionScript outputs or input
FusionScripts directly. Occasionally, the status bar (described above) will display a badge to let
you know there’s a message in the console you might be interested in. The badge will indicate
if the message is an error, log, or script message.
