Viewers:
The viewers are always visible and let you see the different views of your
composition, for example an overall 3D perspective via the merge 3D node, a camera
output, or your final render output. These viewers also let you see how your changes
are affecting a specific element.
You can choose which nodes to view by clicking on a node and typing '1' for the left
viewer or '2' for the right viewer. White button icons appear beneath the node to let
you know which viewer it is assigned to. If you're using external video monitoring, there
will be a third button available to route your media to your external video monitor.
TIP
You can also assign a node to a viewer by dragging the node
into the viewer itself.
The transport controls underneath the viewers let you skip to the start or end of the
clip, play forward or reverse, or stop playback. The time ruler displays the entire range
of a clip, with yellow marks indicating the in and out points.
The yellow marks on the time ruler indicate your clip's in and out points on your
timeline. If you are using a Fusion clip or compound clip, the time ruler will only show
you the duration of the clip as it appears on the timeline, without handles.
Nodes:
The nodes window is the heart of the Fusion page where you build your node
tree by connecting tools together from one node's output to another node's input.
This area will change size depending on which editors are open, for example the spline
or keyframes editor. A toolbar at the top of the nodes area features the most commonly
used tools for fast access.
Spline:
When the spline editor is open, it will appear to the right of the nodes window.
This editor lets you make precise adjustments to each node, such as smoothing the
animation between two keyframes using bezier curves.
Keyframes:
Keyframes for each tool can be added, removed or modified using the
keyframes editor. This also appears to the right of the nodes viewer.
Metadata:
The metadata window will show you metadata available for the active clip,
including the codec, frame rate and timecode.
Inspector:
The inspector in the top right corner displays all settings and modifiers
available for one or more selected nodes. Additional tab options will appear to provide
quick access to other settings for nodes sorted by category.
