How Hard Will This Be to Learn?
That depends on what you want to do, but honestly it’s not so bad with this PDF at your side,
helping guide the way. It’s worth repeating that this Fusion documentation was developed
specifically to help users who’ve never before worked with Fusion learn the core concepts
needed to perform the basics, in preparation for learning the rest of the application
on your own.
Fusion is a deep, production-driven product that’s had decades of development, so its feature
set is deep and comprehensive. You won’t learn it in an hour, but much of what you’ll find won’t
be so very different from other compositing applications you may have used. And if you’ve
familiarized yourself with the node-based grading workflow of the DaVinci Resolve Color page,
you’ve already got a leg up on understanding the central operational concept of compositing
in Fusion.
Go on, give it a try, and remember that you have the chapters of this PDF to refer to, which
includes “Fusion Techniques” (Chapter XX, in the DaVinci Resolve PDF or Chapter XX in the
Fusion Studio PDF), that walks you through a broad selection of common techniques that you
can experiment with using your own footage.
