User Manual

–
Region: Provides all the settings for the Region of Interest in the viewer.
–
Smooth Resize: This option uses a smoother bilinear interpolated resizing method
when zooming into an image in the viewer; otherwise, scaling uses the nearest
neighbor method and shows noticeable aliasing artifacts. However, this is more
useful when you zoom in at a pixel level since there is no interpolation.
–
Show Square Pixels: Overrides the auto aspect correction when using formats with
non-square pixels.
–
Normalized Color Range: Allows for the visualization of brightness values outside
of the normal viewing range, particularly when working with floating-point images or
auxiliary channels.
–
Checker Underlay: Toggles a checkerboard underlay that makes it easy to see
areas of transparency.
–
Gain/Gamma: Exposes a simple pair of Gain and Gamma sliders that let you adjust
the viewer’s brightness.
–
360 View: Used to properly display spherical imagery in a variety of formats,
selectable from this submenu.
–
Stereo: Used to properly display stereoscopic imagery in a variety of formats,
selectable from this submenu.
Time Ruler and Transport Controls
The Time Ruler, located beneath the viewer area, is based on the total duration of the
composition. What it represents depends on which version of Fusion you’re using:
 For DaVinci Resolve users, the duration displayed in the Time Ruler range depends on
what’s currently selected in the Edit or Cut page timeline.
 In Fusion Studio, the Time Ruler depends on the Global Start and End values set in the
Fusion Studio Preferences > Defaults.
The transport controls under the Time Ruler include playback controls as well as number fields
for the composition duration and playback range. Additional controls enable motion blur and
proxy settings.
Time Ruler Controls in the Fusion Page
If you’ve selected a single clip in the Edit or Cut page Timeline, then the global range shown in
the Time Ruler is based on the total source duration for that clip. You cannot move the playhead
outside the global range. The yellow lines, called the render range, identify the current In and
Out points for the clip and are the only frames visible in the Fusion page. All frames outside of
this range constitute the unused head and tail handles of that source clip.
The Time Ruler displaying ranges for a clip in the Timeline via yellow marks (the playhead is red).
