Welcome to my first blog! Today, I’m excited to share insights from my latest video, where I show you how to set up DaVinci Fusion to mimic the powerful workflow of Nuke. Whether you're transitioning from Nuke or simply looking to enhance your compositing efficiency, these tips will help you leverage the best of both worlds.
Vertical Compositing
One of the key aspects of this setup is organizing your workflow vertically instead of the traditional horizontal layout in Fusion. This approach allows for a clearer hierarchy of nodes, making it easier to visualize and manage your composite. In the video, I walk you through the steps to rearrange your workspace and optimize your node connections for a more intuitive compositing experience.
Installing Addons: Expanding Your Toolkit
Just like Nuke’s Nukipedia, DaVinci Fusion has a vibrant community of developers creating addons that can enhance your workflow. I discuss how to install these addons, allowing you to access additional tools and features that can streamline your process. Leveraging these addons can significantly boost your productivity.
Nuke-like Keyboard Shortcuts
To further align your Fusion experience with Nuke, I also cover how to get some of the keyboard shortcuts working similarly to Nuke’s. Familiar shortcuts can dramatically speed up your workflow and reduce the learning curve. I guide you through the customization process.
Conclusion
Transitioning to DaVinci Fusion doesn't mean leaving behind the familiarity of Nuke. With the right setup, you can enjoy a seamless compositing experience that combines the strengths of both applications. I invite you to check out my video for a step-by-step guide on these techniques, and don’t hesitate to share your thoughts or any additional tips you might have!
Happy compositing, and see you in the next post!
