Awesome lessons!
I have a question :)

How to fix the shadows? I'm talking about 21:02 timing in the lesson about masks.
I understand, why is it happening, but is there any quick way to fix this?
I mean, I want the shadows not to disappear when I make them soft.

Nice work! I'm confused about something. For me I would want to color in Resolve. Then if I need to use Fusion go into it seeing my color correction. I've learned about exporting a LUT from the color page and then loading it into the monitor in Fusion. But I can't seem to figure out how to get this output to go to my external monitor showing the color. When I select the MediaOut and press (3) it goes to my monitor but pre LUT/color. 

There must be a way around this? A great update for BMD would be to have your color correction "move" to the clip in Fusion.

When I get out of Fusion doing a title the title take on color from a power window I have from the color page??? Would you not want it "on top" of all the color you did? I'd guess i would need to make it into a effect I can then add to another layer in edit mode so that it is on top? How?

Also the title when I make it large looks soft on my main monitor

Hi

Ok, so i'm following this to the letter.  However when, in lesson 4 (approx: 7.17) you drag a clip from the Media Pool and it immediately shows up in your viewer window (screen 2).

 

Ok, so this doesn't happen for me.  I've tried many combinations of this but nothing. The node that the clip represents is blank.  I've made sure that it is being displayed in the correct viewer, etc...but still nothing.  I've been over the lesson a number of times, and i'm sure that i haven't misheard, or mis-seen anything.  

Anyway, how can this clip possibly show up if it doesn't appear on the edit timeline?

Am i missing something? Can someone please advise?

 

Thanks in advance.

This is a great introduction to Fusion. In the 7th video you demonstrate manually setting kerning for individual characters. However, there does not seem to be a keyframe button for this. If I could control individual characters and make them change positions, sizes, and colors while they fly around the screen and rearrange I could make some fantastic effects. Does Fusion have a way of doing this?
