Meh. Much more refreshing is seeing how Blackmagic is now giving Fusion for free, and offering a $1000us pro version without any maintance cost on top.

Fusion was always a rocker. The free node doesnt support network rendering but i cant get my head around that... Deadline starts a new instance locally ...So it kind of circumvents their licensing ... Still im not a composting artist but my colleague seas that its all useless without the support

Have actually used it, this evening, it's actually really good, and definitely a paradigm shift, not having to worry about resolution, it's just really nice and very clean. On 13 November 2014 21:32, Cristobal Infante cgc...@gmail.com wrote: Meh. Much more refreshing is seeing how Blackmagic

Ognjen, surely a small studio or freelancer can afford a 1000us license for commercial work? A bargain mate ;) At least people can learn it without watermarks and restriction, and upgrade when you really need those lens flares!! Also Blackmagic offer Davinci Resolve a grading and editing

Sure, but Mischief competes with the likes of Sketchbook Pro and other drawing software. Fusion competes (or tries to) with Nuke, check the pricing and maintenance: http://www.thefoundry.co.uk/products/nuke/pricing/ On 13 November 2014 22:53, Alan Fregtman alan.fregt...@gmail.com wrote:

Hey Cristobal, I completely agree with any studio being able to afford it. Im just stating that they messed up a bit with the networking license , its a bit stupid relining on users to be chivalrous... . Its duped from a tech perspective. Never the less. Fusion is a masterpiece of software

I don't think it was for sale... Like this Foundry move, is to buy a technology, not just Mischief itself. As for how good is mischief now, I say there's quite a bit of stuff lacking. Free-hand straight lines, filleds shapes, Paste an image from the clipboard, common stuff nothing ground
