All language subtitles for 7. Fusion Nodes part 2 Fusion Kolder Creative

So I have a few more tips and tricks

I want to share with you guys
regarding nodes within fusion.

Before we jump into the next lesson.

So let's dive right into it.

So I'm just going to build out
a little composition here.

Let's take this dirt bike clip,
put it over top of this.

Let's blur it just so
we have a few more things going on here.

So the first thing I want to show
you guys is a shortcut

that you'll be using a lot,
and that is the bypass shortcut.

So if we hit command P on our keyboard,
it allows us

to basically disable a certain node
and it allows us to bypass.

So this is a great shortcut to know
when you're working with a lot of nodes

and you want to see exactly how one
specific node affects your final output.

So we could just load up our media
out into our right preview window here

and then we can select any node
hit command P and then quickly disable

and enable that specific node
so we can get an isolated look

as to
how it's affecting our overall image.

We could do this with any node.

We can even bypass the media in nodes here
just like that as well.

Command P Really good shortcut to know.

Now, like I've shown you guys before,
we can hold shift to bring nodes

into the chain of commands very quickly,
but we can also use shift to

take them out as well.

So let's say
I want to remove this blur node over here.

I can hold shift on my keyboard
and take it out just like that

and I can add it in somewhere else
if I wanted to.

Just like that.

So holding shift

and moving nodes around within your node
shift is going to be your best friend.

It allows you to do it very quickly.

The alternative would be to break
this connection connected through the Blur

and then connected
again, which is a lot more steps.

It's much faster to just hold, shift
and move things around in that way.

And of course we can quickly copy
and paste nodes.

All we got to do is select the node,
hit command C and then hit Command V.

If the node is selected originally, it's

going to make a connection
between both of those nodes.

But if no node is selected
and we pasted in there,

it's going to paste it in by itself.

So I'm just going to delete these here.
We don't need them.

Now. You can see that
everything is snapping to the grid here

and that's great for my workflow.
I like you like that.

If you don't want it to snap like this,
you can simply just right

click over here, arrange tools
and then uncheck to grid.

And that way we are able to move.

Really, nothing's snapping to the grid.

Personally,
I do like it snapping to the grid.

I feel like it keeps things organized
without me having to tediously

move things
to get them to line up with the grid.

I just make sure that's on
and I'm good to go.

And lastly, I want to show you guys
how we can group nodes together.

This is something that you will do
a lot of once you start working on bigger

node trees.

It can definitely be overwhelming
when you're looking at tons of nodes,

especially if you have a

branch of your node tree that's completed,
you don't need to look at it anymore.

So for example,
let's put this blurb back over here.

Let's add in another transform here.

Let's add a color change here

and let's say that
we've made our modifications to this clip

in the way that we want, and we're kind of
we're done with this section

and we're not going to be touching it
again.

What we can do is select
all of those nodes and hit command

G on our keyboard,
and it's going to create a group.

And with that group selected,
we can have two and rename it

so we can call this dirt bike

blue Blur
because it's blue and it's blurry.

And now we have that group of nodes

all in this one node here and it makes it
a little bit less distracting.

But we know that we can just
double click on these

and then we can access
all of those same nodes

there in like this little box,
this little container over here.

So by double clicking
the group, we're able to see everything

that's going on
within that little group area.

And if we ever want to undo group
something,

we can simply right
click on the group, select on group,

and it will basically decompose it

back into our original node tree.

So command P to bypass a node and command
G to group any group of nodes.

Those are two shortcuts
that we're going to be using all the time.

So make sure that you remember those.

You can also access these shortcuts
in the Raven Club Keyboard Shortcut

layout PDF
that we've created for DaVinci Resolve.

So that's it for this video.
Just a couple quick tips.

I'll see you guys in the next one.
