Fusion Connect AVX uses frame rate and resolution from the Media Composer Timeline.
Rendering with Fusion
When you perform a render of your comp inside Fusion Studio, the results are rendered to the output folder created by Fusion Connect during the initial application of the plug-in to the Timeline. Upon rendering, you immediately see the results of the rendered Fusion comp in the Avid Timeline. Even while Fusion is rendering, you can continue with the edit process on any clip except for the associated clip being rendered at the time.
Directory Structure of Fusion Connect Media
Fusion Connect creates a logical folder structure that is not affiliated with the Avid Media Files folder but rather the Fusion Connect AVX2 plug-in. Based on data gathered during the AVX application to the Timeline, a logical folder hierarchy is automatically created based on Avid projects, sequences, and clips. This structure allows for multiple instances of Fusion Studio to access the media and multiple instances of the AVX to relate to a single Fusion comp. In a re-edit situation, media is never duplicated but is overwritten to avoid multiple copies of identical media.

If you apply the effect to a transition, the naming behavior might be somewhat different.
By default, Media Composer refers to the two clips of a transition as “Clip_001” and “Clip_002”. Based on the naming convention, Fusion Connect will create folders with matching names. If such folders already exist, because another transition has already used up “Clip_001” and “Clip_002”, the numbers will be incremented automatically.
