So many people asked why I don't "just use Fusion" in the comments on this video that I made a whole video talking all about it!

[AlfieVaughan]

I forgot to mention that all of the software in this video has free versions that are still totally capable of working this way. Blender is obviously open source and free... But Nuke has a Non-Commercial version that has almost all the features it's just limited to 1080p renders. And Resolve also has a very powerful free version. I'm using the paid versions of Resolve and Nuke because I work professionally using them too. But you don't have to!

It's been just over a year since I started working with VFX, still on the most basic tool of them all, which is After Effects. Now is the time to start stepping up the software, and begin researching Nuke, but I must confess that watching videos like this just scares me without knowing where to start and thinking that I won't be able to do it... That said, what an incredible video, I hope to one day reach this level of work, congratulations on the channel!

Holy fucking shit. that was incredible. so so many tips that only someone working in the professional field for a long time could have picked up! thanks so much for this video! :))

I have to say, while the technical aspect in how ACES works goes waaay over my head. It does make the workflow much easier. It's cool that we can have this all for just 300 bucks (since you can activate the studio version of Fusion too with a resolve key for those without Nuke.)

Do note, Resolve Studio, Blender, and Nuke are all available on Linux and make a wonderful workflow for those of us on Linux systems.

Very cool Alfie. Very well explained tut. Much appreciated. I'm an old school vfx comper from way back that's been out of the game for a while and everything you have explained brings it all back. Very well articulated and it all makes sense and takes me back to when I was comping in combustion / shake / after effects and the early versions of nuke. I work with GridMarkets and getting back into it all so appreciate the clear and well explained breakdowns. Keep up the awesome work.

Really amazing in-depth information in this one! Thank you very much, that cleared a lot of question marks in my head regarding the optimal VFX workflow 🙏

Despite of the title("Ultimate") as a beginner in VFX and video editting, this video is quite short but detailed compared to other videos which long. I've learned new things and I will apply it. Thanks!

12:40 would you be able to make a tutorial on how you made this setup??

[valdoltra]

Came here to see the workflow as the title says. But for 18 minutes I couldn't take my eyes of the Tele, 335 and Silver Sky :)

[phammo]

Love the usage of the bat file. Going to use that everytime now

[thedarkmatterplanet]

You could add a path to your scripts dir so you don't have to keep copying and pasting it and can just run it from whatever folder you're currently in. (type cmd into the folder path at the top of the window to open a command prompt within the folder.)

man. I've been using DR for years and didn't even know you could add tags on the Deliveries. damnn. I usually do them manually.. thanks man

[ozainpeaks]

I've been waiting for this tutorial update😊😊😊😊😊 Thank you so much sir!!

[tiedtkeio]

This was excellent! So many insightful tips! Thank you Alfie! 🙂

[edimarmz]

BROOO thankyou so much, this really helped and the tutorial was really easy to use as well :)

[itayozari]

Thank you very much for the video, it was enriching and educational.

I'm not sure that, according to what you showed, you rendered the files from Blender in a linear color space. If I'm not mistaken, under color management, you selected the "follow scene" option. Assuming you left it at Blender's default setting, then you are likely in sRGB. You need to explicitly request it to export the files in ACEScg.

God bless you! Thanks for making this tutorial.

[PrashanSubasinghe]

Excellent workflow! I always get something out of your videos :)
