• Media Pool: The media pool functions the same way as it appears in the edit page. Simply
drag additional media from your bins directly to your composition.
• Effects Library: The effects library is where you will find your Fusion tools and templates
sorted into categories including particle, tracking, filters and generators. You can either
click on the tool or drag it to the nodes area to add it to your composition. The media pool
and effects library take up the same screen area, so you can swap between the two to
keep your viewers as large as possible.
• Clips: Clicking the clips tab will reveal or hide thumbnails representing clips on your
timeline. The thumbnails are located underneath the nodes editor, letting you instantly
navigate to other clips.
Create a new version of your composition by right clicking on a thumbnail
and selecting ‘create new composition’.
• Viewers: The viewers are always visible and let you see the different views of your
composition, for example an overall 3D perspective via the merge 3D node, a camera
output, oryour final render output. These viewers also let you see how your changes are
affecting aspecific element.
You can choose which nodes to view by clicking on a node and typing ‘1’ for the left viewer
or ‘2’ for the right viewer. White button icons appear beneath the node to let you know which
viewer itis assigned to. If you’re using external video monitoring, there will be a third button
available to route your media to your external video monitor.
TIP You can also assign a node to a viewer by dragging the node into the viewer itself.
The transport controls underneath the viewers let you skip to the start or end of the clip, play
forward or reverse, or stop playback. The time ruler displays the entire range of a clip, with
yellow marks indicating the in and out points.
The yellow marks on the time ruler indicate your clip’s in and out points on your timeline. If you are using
a Fusion clip or compound clip, the time ruler will only show you the duration of the clip as it appears on
the timeline, without handles.
