Fusion 8.2.1 & 9 have a new Lua and Python based GUI building system called the fu.UIManager library. This library is used whenever you need to create your own custom graphical user interface in a Fusion based Lua or Python script.

The fu.UIManager allows you to add object oriented windows, buttons, text fields, sliders, tree list views, and controls that are accessible inside your script code. The new fu.UIManager library is QT window manger based and it is used to replace Fusion 7's older...

I added the ability to view Fusion registry attributes in Class Browser v1.1.

The attributes have tooltips with descriptions from the Fusion 8 Scripting Guide.

Hi All!

I'm starting to explore writing fuses for fusion 16 (and I guess resolve) using the new dctl(?) kernel support, and I'm told this might be a good place for it?

I was wondering if anyone else is doing this already?

I've made a bit of progress based on the example fuses, and thought maybe we could start documenting our findings.

Please let me know if I'm re-inventing the wheel here before I spend too much time!

Thankyou,
Aleksander

aaahhh! :banghead: :banghead: :bmd:
That was the whole issue?
Well at least now I know that's it.
Thanks Midgardsormr , Thanks Aleksander !

I'll just take another look at the fuse, there is one thing I need to sort out.

Thanks again

This forum will be about all the nice things you can do with Fusion's scripting and Fuse API, whether it's questions, expressions, snippets or finished scripts.

To get you started with scripting, it's highly recommended to take a look at vfxpedia:

Hi. This thread will be the starting point for a new WSL tutorial series of posts that will hopefully get you started creating, editing, and releasing your own custom Fusion Macros. :cheer:

A macro is a plain text document that has the .setting file extension. It is built with the same general syntax as a Fusion .comp document but is cut down to just the elements of a few nodes and avoids the typical header data used in a full Fusion composite for things like the Fusion timeline and viewer...

That sounds really interesting!

Macro (or Group) Oddities

Last post by Kristof « 10 hours 57 minutes ago

by Kristof » 5 days 18 hours ago

First post

Been busy building and rebuilding Macros intensively and I noticed some strange behavior. One of the things has been mentioned in this interesting topic : how using a Piperouter as the last tool before a Macro's output will stop you from being able to edit the macro when RMB'ing.

Most of the time I prefer to use a Group and a text editor to add UserControls, looping the input parameter through to a node inside the Group with an expression. Apparently this will often fail. If you go through the...

Last post

When you're using PipeRouters to establish placeholders for your in- and outputs, you won't be able to export their INputs when using the builtin Macro Editor. (see screenshot). If you just group that same selection they will be exposed on the newly created Group instance. Odd! But perhaps related to all the other weird behavior?

PipeRouters are needed to make sure that ins and outs of a group that use anything other than Image , 3D , Mask or Particles as a DataType survive a comp reload or a...

Hey there folks,
.. after reading a post that Fusion has no text wrapping functions on the other forum, which is true, its missing in the TextPlus node.
So I thought why not give it a try by hijacking the Annotation Fuse and add some text wrapping funtions found here at rosettacode: ;)
Yay, it works. the only thing thats missing ( sure theres more..... ) is to wrap when the text font is been scaled.. but thats something for some other time. :oops:

Anyway, here it is ..try it out ..or add...

cet77 , I'm not sure...haven't tried it out.

Hi.
I want to automatically configure viewer to OCIO ColorSpace ViewLUT pointed to my config file with correct IDT and ODT selected for this project. I know about MacroLUTs and about saving default settings for viewer, but I am creating comp files via simple LUA pipeline script anyway. Adding few lines to set proper viewing will be the most effective way.

I sometimes use things like and commands like or I don't know commands for setting up LUTs. I found and other related commands in the...

Invoke command line after render completion

First post

Hi all, well I'm stuck at home of course and trying to replicate some of my studio's render farm functionality with Fusion's built-in Render Manager.

I am confused about how End Render Scripts works. Can this be used to invoke a command line (like run FFMPEG), and does it run after a network render (after all slaves are done)?

Alternatively is it possible to setup a comp in Fusion that assembles your final render into a movie, using this built-in system? I'd honestly prefer that over FFMPEG.

Last post

My problem with FFMPEG is doing gamma correction

I've found the best solution (at least for my needs) is to just sort out the gamma in Fusion first, spit out EXRs or PNGs, then a dumb compilation with ffmpeg. I set up a couple of simple bash scripts (fired off by Automator on my Mac, though Windows / Linux has similar capabilities) so once a network render's done, it's just two-clicks to turn it into a ProRes file. Handy for any other situation where a quick compile-the-frames thing'd be...

KeyStretcher

First post

Suppose we have a zoom transition with the following key frames (node Transform):
0 frame - Size = 1.0
8 frame - Size = 2.5
9 frame - Size = 0.7
20 frame - Size = 1.0
Tell me pls how to make sure that when using KeyStretcher, between key frames (8 and 9) there is always a distance of 1 frame?

Last post

Thank you, its ok only if i use Transform node, but in Dissolve node i have problem. On the 6th frame I set 0, on the 7th frame I set 1, but for some reason the value 0.6 is for the 7th frame and picture in picture. How to fix it?

Added in 9 minutes 50 seconds:
Strange, now the transform node is not displayed correctly.

Added in 10 minutes 58 seconds:
Maybe there be a better way to use stretching for fusion transitions?
