Fusion 9 leak, VR and price drop
Posted by Andrew Kimery on August 1, 2017 at 3:46 pmPost Magazine apparently ran a story about Fusion 9 too soon. It gets a new, comprehensive VR toolset (I know how much everyone here loves VR) and a price drop to $299 to match Resolve.
Page is gone now, but here is a link to the cached version.

August 1, 2017 at 5:10 pmNot just that, but planar AND camera tracking, if that leak is to be believed.
AND a whole new keyer built on Ultimatte.
Now that will be some update if it’s all true.

Okay… now THAT should be the headline. If the camera tracker is built on the same technology as the point cloud tracker in Resolve 14, I want BMD to take my money now!

It’s pretty insane, if true. And as you say, if they can get the kind of “automagical” results you get from the Resolve tracker, then it’s going to be a game changer.
But let’s not underestimate how major the Ultimatte thing is likely to be – I think that has the potential to be massive as well.

Absolutely! I just completed an interview in which I used the tracker pretty extensively, so it’s top of mind. I’m equally excited about Ultimatte though, it would just be foolish to not have these tools in the toolset.

Who do you think they will buy? Pixelmator or Affinity?

“It’s clearly worth the price just for the tracking options alone, but with Ultimatte on top of that it’s a must-have.
There’s a lot of talk about what makes us excited about new software, and for me this is as good as it gets, without question.
BMD are on an unstoppable roll!

VR is dope and we have a bunch of VR projects going on. That said 360 videos aren’t VR and it drives me up the wall when people keep saying VR when they mean 360 videos.

I’ve very guilty of using the two interchangeably even though I know they are different.
