— Launches Fusion (if installed on the machine), if it is not already launched.
— Opens the Fusion comp associated with created effects.
Browse for Location
The Fusion Connect media folders are created on the drive where the associated Avid media resides, defaulting to the root level of that drive. However, you can choose a new location for the Fusion Connect media.
1 In the Media Composer Effects Editor, click the Browse for Location button.
2 In the File Browser, change the location and create additional folders if desired.
The path settings field in the Effects Editor updates to show the current location. If you apply Fusion Connect to another clip in the Timeline, the last location is remembered.
Auto Render in Fusion
The Auto Render button is a toggle that allows you to automatically render your Fusion comp from within Avid. Please note that this method of rendering has limitations and can be significantly slower than rendering directly in Fusion. It is mostly used for batch rendering on the Avid Timeline. Auto Render also exports the necessary media without having to manually execute the Export Clips function first.
Red on Missing Frames
The Red on Missing Frames button is a toggle used to display red images within the Avid Timeline viewer (Timeline monitor) if no rendered frames from Fusion Studio can be found, or if the rendered frames are not of a high enough resolution. When disabled, the original untouched frames will be shown instead of the red frame.
Compress Exported Frames
When enabled, this button creates Fusion RAW files with compression for, both exported and rendered frames. This creates smaller file sizes, saving disk space. As with any other compression algorithm, the compression adds time to the write process of the file sequence.
Edit Effect Also Launches Fusion
When enabled, this button opens Fusion Studio when the Edit Effect button is clicked, allowing for a more direct Avid/Fusion workflow. When disabled, this button will not launch Fusion Studio when the Edit Effect button is clicked, but a Fusion .comp file is created. This is useful when working with Fusion Studio on a separate computer than the one running the Media Composer software.
