It Ppears the stand alone version of Fusion will still exist, at least over the short term. For some reason you cannot have clips stacked on top of each other show up in the Fusion page. Granted, this is a beta version but it looks like a single clip instance scenario for now. I could be missing something or not have a firm understanding of how this works. Will any third part OFX such as Sapphire show up in the Fusion page? This still looks interesting and many questions remain.
As it stands now I really don’t see people quitting their CC subscription in mass numbers. Remember this new version is in beta and more work needs to be done. It is a step forward but is it in the right direction?
