Hasta La Motion!

Not sure if anyone has had this happen. Currently working on a middle-sized comp (starting to get heavy) and can’t seem to get the Paint->CopyPolyLine to work anymore. When I try to use the tool, nothing happens. Clicking in the viewer doesn’t draw anything. It seems to only be in this particular comp though. If I create a new file and try it, it works as intended. I can draw the shape as normal. Any ideas on this one? Maybe the comp is getting too heavy?

Hi,

anyone who know how can i get a fuzzy edge blur. I would like to use it for 3d pillow or something to match it better in a real scene. i tried a edge blur in combination with grain, but that doesnt give a fuzzy edge.
Any ideas?

Continuing to lead VFX software development, eyeon recently released Fusion 6.1, in line with the company’s new OpenCL GPU supercomputing development roadmap. Fusion continues to be the necessary fit for Prime Focus and other multi-national companies due to its pipeline and highly-effective approach that utilizes the powerful, low-cost GPU to create assets in real time. The extensive tool set imports scenes from 3D animation packages and allows for a much tighter integrated workflow between departments and applications.

“The decision made by Prime Focus to expand their use of Fusion as their main compositing software confirms what the team here has strived for from the beginning, to offer the most innovative and efficient software possible.”

With a strong focus on the Stereo 3D sector of the production industry, it is evident that their choice in Fusion confirms what eyeon has successfully achieved, a VFX software of global appeal.

Hello friends!

I have been using Fusion 5 for quite some time now. Very recently I tried Fusion 6.1 and I did not need to set up DoF there until now. Today I tried the very frequently used technique of copying luminance (which they now seem to call lightness) of depth pass and copying it to Channel Boolean’s ZDepth channel. To my surprise, Fusion still kept saying it has no ZDepth. The original rendered depth pass is an EXR. So, under channel’s I set ZDepth to RED (later I also tried Green and Blue). When I try to see the ZDepth of that EXR, I see just pure white. But doing this on alpha works just fine. (I understand this would not be the correct representation, but I expected to see something definite, but there is nothing showing.)

Is there something I am doing wrong? Has something changed in Fusion 6?

Sorry, i have a second important question.

I want to render out my current fusion project in quicktime Foto-JPG or h264. The problem, if i view the finished mov in quicktime, then it looks like a gamma problem, the video looks much brighter and flat. What can i do to get the same result how i can see it in fusion?
If i render it out with quicktime tif, then all looks ok…..
