5 Opening the VFX Connect clip in Fusion can be done in one of two ways:
–
If you turned on “Open VFX Connect Clip,” then Fusion automatically opens and the
clips you selected appear as Loader nodes within Fusion.
–
If you didn’t, then you can right-click the VFX Connect clip in the Media Pool, and
choose VFX Connect > Open Fusion from the contextual menu.
At this point, new media is rendered (by default), Fusion opens, and the clips you sent
are converted into a Fusion node tree, explained in greater detail in the
following section.
6 In Fusion, use the available tools to create the required effect.
7 Optionally, before you render, if you want to change the Output Format, click the
Output node, and choose a new format from the Output Format pop-up in the Tools
tab. If you don’t do this, the Fusion composite will be rendered using the format you
selected when you sent the VFX Connect clip in the first place.

8 When you’re finished creating your effect in Fusion, click the Render button to open
the Render Settings, check to make sure that the settings are correct, and click Start
Render. This renders the Fusion composition to the disk location and using the name
that you chose in step 3.
