Eyeon Fusion now Black Magic Fusion 7.5 is out, light version free, No OSX

Excellent news in there. Look forward to when it does become available for Mac, hoping for a release at the end of this year but will just have to wait.

While my work does not require a powerful program such as Fusion, going to look at it to process still images. A node based approach might be a bit much but look forward to a more powerful, flexible way of doing things. I am certainly excited by the news.

David, I had the same epiphany when I dropped a psd file in and saw how it split the layers into nodes. It made me think that the may be unique ways to further manipulate some work started in photoshop and so for my next part of the learning curve I might play with stills.

Pretty much how I am going to learn the software as well. Another aspect I am considering is processing a photo in Fusion because of the node based approach which will make some tasks either more efficient or easier. That photo would be part of a title sequence but will handle the remainder of the work in Motion. The photo would be used a background and brought in as a single layer.

Also, considering doing stop motion animation and plan to use Fusion to remove any unwanted objects (should they show up) as well as cleaning up as necessary.

Will not completely replace Motion with Fusion but will use it for more complex workflows (as necessary) along with enhancing photos (as described above) for a title sequence. Just waiting for the Mac OS X version.
