Likewise, “_001” will be added incrementally to the group folder name, if a folder of that name already exists. The corresponding comp file will be named accordingly.
Fusion Connect AVX creates folder structures in the OS to save media and Fusion compositions. Those names are reflected in the Timeline.
You will notice that the Fusion Connect icon is a green dot (real-time) effect. If your hardware is fast enough, the results that populate the plug-in will play in real time. However, it’s recommended that you render the green dot effect, which will force an MXF precompute to be created to guarantee real- time playback.
Advanced Project Paths
The Fusion Connect AVX2 plug-in controls the pathing of Fusion Connect’s .raw media and Fusion’s
.comp files as well as showing and hiding project and sequence level directories. This is achieved through environment variables, which are set in the operating system. This gives you the most flexible control over pathing your media, and as the name depicts, you can change variables (controls) in various application environments. This is useful for network storage and when Fusion Studio is running on other systems.
Configuring Paths on macOS
When using Fusion Connect on macOS, the Configure Path Defaults dialog looks like this:
Environment variable path maps on macOS.
Default paths can be configured using variables similarly as on Windows, but for added convenience it is possible to enter any desired path defaults directly into fields in the dialog, without the need for using environment variables.
