This document is divided into two sections: The Scripting Guide and the Scripting Reference. The first section, the Scripting Guide, explains the scripting application programming interface (API) of Fusion called FusionScript. It can be accessed via Lua or the Python programming language. FusionScript can be utilized to automate repetitive or complex tasks, customize the application behavior, extend Fusion’s functionality, or exchange data with third-party applications.
This guide contains information on how to get started, the differences of scripting languages, how the API is laid out to represent the application model, and how to deal with it in practice.
The second section, the Scripting Reference, assumes you have an understanding of the scripting concepts and the fundamentals of scripting from the first section. The Scripting Reference describes the common API, its objects, members, arguments and usage.
In order to write custom tools or extend Fusion’s core functionality, refer to the C++ SDK or Fuse documentation. For regular customization and Macros, read the corresponding chapter in the Fusion User Guide.
