Fusion tutorial on tracking has problems

Well, I’m a noob trying to learn fusion and I’m currently using 5.3
I’m learning the basics and everything went fine until tracking tutorial 1. Close to the end of the video, it demonstrate a way of having painted point following the track path. It goes… connect tracker with painter > move to the frame around the middle of the whole video and paint a dot on the statue’s lip > play. It worked fine in the video, but on mine, the dot would not show up in any from but the frame I painted on. I do not understand what went wrong. And it seems that the tutorial was made with an older version of fusion… a lot of button layouts are different and even the subpixel selection on tracker was not there in Fusion 5.3
Can someone please give me some tips. Thanks a whole lot.

3D Sturio Max Training [simulation]

Hi there.

I started learning max. I was using c4d for some years, but the simulation capabilities of c4d is not even close to anything looking real.

Ok. Here is my main question:

I’m looking for some reactor training – from start to end (or any 3dstudio max training that covers this)
I’m also looking for rayfire and sitni sati plugins training. I mean, I want to create simulations that looks real.

As I know, I have to learn thinking particles too. So, get this as the part of the training, too..

…..Sow, where / how can .I start ? anything you can offer/advice ?

Thank you for taking time.
Stay with the light.

Video gets Darker after rendering

Hello, am I really the only one who experience difference in video when exported from AE, compared to original footage in FCP?

Example: I export a DV-PAL QT from FCP/ import it into AE and render it without adding effects, just for the test/ import it into FCP/ Result: video is darker than original.

I’ve tried the compressions: None, DV-PAL, Animation (horrible result) and Uncompressed 10 bit 4:2:2. Needless to say, I always use best quality settings.

This is puzzling me big time…

Thanks for advise //Erik
