From the release notes, this was a major rewrite in the 3D engine and user interface, with a massive amount of bug fixes all around.įor the purpose of this review, I’m going to give you some broad strokes of what to expect, or not expect. Right before the acquisition, Eyeon released Fusion 7.0 that had been nearly two years in the making. Fusion Studio has all the bells and whistles, and now comes with Generation (shot tracking, versioning and reviewing software that interfaces with Fusion), Dimension (Optical Flow and stereo tools) and Avid Connect (connects Fusion to Avid Media Composer).įusion is in its seventh major release. Both versions are fairly similar in features, the main differences being that the free version doesn’t support third-party plug-ins or render nodes. We now have two versions of Fusion: a free version and Fusion Studio, which sells for $995. This is where Blackmagic shows us its genius - gave it away to the world for free. Now Blackmagic has put Fusion back in the forefront of the compositing scene, and they did it in three steps: one, gave it good marketing two, restored confidence that the package won’t disappear in the next year and three - and Fusion the software was still great, but there were marketing issues, and third-party developers were pulling away from it.

The acquisition happened in mid September, and by December 19, Fusion 7.6 Studio was shipping. ![]() This compositing pro gives us an overview of the newest version.īlackmagic made big news with its acquisition of Eyeon last year, and it didn’t take long for them to rebrand the software and make the tool its own. ![]()
