The choices made here are used to determine Fusion’s behavior when new tools are added to the Node Editor and when parameters are animated.
The Defaults preferences
Default Animate
The Default Animate section is used to change the type of modifier attached to a parameter when the Animate option is selected from its contextual menu. The default option is Nothing, which uses a Bézier spline to animate numeric parameters and a path modifier for positional controls.
— Number With and Point With: Drop-down lists are used to select a different modifier for the new default. For example, change the default type used to animate position by setting the Point with the drop-down menu to XY Path.
Choices shown in this menu come from installed modifiers that are valid for that type of parameter. These include third-party plug-in modifiers, as well as native modifiers installed with Fusion.
Auto Tools
The Auto Tools section determines which tools are added automatically for the most common operations of the Background tools and Merge operations.
— Background: When set to None, a standard Background tool is used; however, the drop-down menu allows you to choose from a variety of tools including 2D and 3D tools to customize the operation to your workflow.
