Fusion Studio 19 expands USD workflow compatibility in the compositing software. The video was recorded in DaVinci Resolve 19, which includes a version of the Fusion toolset.
IntelliTrack: The Neural Engine-powered Point Tracker
The new features in Fusion Studio 19 include IntelliTrack, a new point tracker powered by Neural Engine, the machine learning system of Fusion Studio, designed to track objects or stabilize images with great precision. This advancement leverages the power of artificial intelligence to improve the workflow of visual effects artists.
Compatibility with DaVinci Resolve Tools
Additionally, Fusion Studio 19 is now compatible with advanced Resolve FX features such as Surface Tracker and Object Removal, essential tools for enhancing visual effects editing and compositing.
Improvements in Rotoscoping and New Tools
In the field of rotoscoping, the new Multi Poly tool allows creating multiple rotoscoping masks in a single node. This optimizes working time and increases efficiency. Additionally, all Shape tools now support motion paths, expanding creative possibilities. Fusion Studio has also introduced two new nodes:
- sText: for adding text to shape-based node trees.
- sBSpline: for creating custom spline shapes.
Performance Improvements and New USD-based Features
In terms of performance, the Magic Mask has seen a speed improvement of up to three times faster, making it easier to create masks more quickly and accurately. Fusion Studio 19 also introduces new USD-based workflows, expanding texture manipulation and volumetric effects capabilities in three-dimensional environments. The new nodes for manipulating textures are:
- uTexture
- uTexture Transform
- uShader
- uNormal Map
Additionally, the new uVolume tool allows importing, shading, and rendering volumetric effects such as fire and smoke in OpenVDB format, opening new possibilities for atmospheric effects.
“The Fusion Studio 19 update takes compositing to the next level, combining the power of Neural Engine with advanced tools for visual effects”.
