When a company says you can buy a one time license which might be expensive, but I promise you a worth it...then that wins.

Consider showing the Fusion standalone when compraing to other software instead of using the Resolev Fusion which is limited in many ways, especially with customization. (Fusion was highly customizable up until V9).

I tried doing multipass comp in AE and that was the last time I touched AE. Once you go nodes, there's no coming back.

The learning curve of Fusion is little easier than After Effects

[nsevv]

The one with perpetual license is better.

For anyone wondering, there is very little the free version of davinci resolve cant do compared to the paid version. There are no watermarks, free trials, or really any limitations besides the tiny number of missing features that most people will never need

[artgreenisland]

Thank you for the great comparison! Both take times to master and we can create amazing things with both. In terms of the price, I love the DaVinci Resolve because once the purchase is made, you are the valuable customer for ever. AE on the other hand, once you start to use it, you will always be in debt.

Fusion learning curve steps goes like 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 then Ll of a sudden 8, 9, 10 and once u master it its tough to go bek. I ve after effects and the free version of Davinci and even though its free the capabilities are amazing

[mauriciolee]

Thank InspirationTuts for such an INFORMATIVE & easy to understand review. It helps me to an informed decision to choose the best app for my need.

[chrisjpndala]

Great video been waiting for this comparison for so long 🎉🎉

[ReidVV]

Best overview breakdown I have seen. Would love to see a comparison of the same motion graphics project and the same vfx project done in both softwares to get a real side by side comparison of the tools and workflows.

I recently needed to export a transparent image sequence of keyed footage to use in Unreal Engine. I keyed it using keylight (4k resolution, BRAW) and AE took 8 HOURS to do it. I worked a lot in AE so I never took the time to learn Fusion, but this inspired me to try it, at least for keying. It took 20 minutes to render the keyed 4-minute shot instead of 8 hours. Never keying in AE again.

[MikeCore]

fun fact, if you already own resolve you get the standalone fusion free, it auto detects your license and just works if u download it.

[snesmocha]

ae is something like 70 dollars a month

fusion is mostly free and only 200 dollars for life time updates

it also includes the full davinci resolve suite

[moranjackson]

Contrary to my initial feeling, this video is quite differentiated. Good Job!
I personally prefere the Node-System of Fusion. The layer system of AF was just too confusing for me.

[caynofficial]

One more thing which interests me, is if DaVinci also needs the background process bloatware (Adobe) After Effects needs...

[pixelatl]

I started out compositing in AE once I finally used Fusion, I ditched AE and never looked back. No more AE precomp BS ever again!

[AyushBakshi]

Bro... limited plugins for fusions? Heard of reactor?

[abhijith]

what is the actual name of that lock and load effect?

[nsevv]

Should compare different layer editors. Like Vegas Effect vs AE.

[gulkostudio]

If it was not for such a tool as "the greed", which developers of AE included into their program, I would never have switched to Fusion.
