Fusion Connect is an AVX2 plug-in for Avid Media Composer. It allows editors to create a conduit between the Timeline in Avid editing products and Fusion Studio. Fusion Connect exports clips from the Avid Timeline as image sequences and assembles Fusion compositions that allow you to work your magic on the content.
Fusion can be started automatically by the plug-in if Fusion is installed on the same system, or it can be used on remote computers to modify the composition.
System Requirements
Fusion Connect has the following requirements:
— Supported Avid products: Media Composer 8.x
— Supported product: Fusion Studio 8.1 or later
— Installation: Two files will be installed in your Media Composer:
— Fusion Connect.avx
— BlackmagicFusionConnect.lua
— Avid’s default directory: \Avid\AVX2_Plug-ins
The Effects Palette
After launching Media Composer, Fusion Connect is located in the Blackmagic Effects Palette category. As with any segment or transition effect in the Effects Palette, you can apply the Fusion Connect AVX2 plug-in to any clip. This includes filler*, edit transition point, or video track layers on the Avid Timeline.
