Status Bar
The Status bar in the lower-left corner of the Fusion window shows you a variety of up-to-date
information about things you’re selecting and what’s happening in Fusion. For example,
hovering the pointer over a node displays information about that node in the Status bar.
Additionally, 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 appear in this area as you work.
The Status bar under the Node Editor showing you information about a node under the pointer.
Occasionally the Status bar will display a badge to let you know there’s a message in the
console you might be interested in. The message could be a log, script message, or error.
A notification that there’s a message in the Console.
Effects Library
The Effects Library in Fusion shows all the nodes and effects available in Fusion, including
third-party OFX plug-ins, if installed. If you are using DaVinci Resolve, ResolveFX also appear in
the OFX category. While the toolbar shows many of the most common nodes you’ll use in any
composite, the Effects Library contains every single tool available in Fusion, organized by
category, with each node ready to be quickly added to the Node Editor. Suffice it to say that
there are many, many more nodes available in the Effects Library than on the toolbar, spanning
a wide range of uses.
