This new Linux version of Fusion and Fusion Studio means visual effects artists can select their preferred computing platform, as Fusion is now available on Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux. Linux is extremely popular in the world’s leading visual effects production companies and this new Linux release is a major announcement for the visual effects industry. We’re not sure how much work has been done to Blackmagic-ize Fusion since it was purchased in September, but we suspect that at the moment this must be a fairly light “skinning” operation: there just hasn’t been time to change it completely.The world’s most advanced visual effects and motion graphics software is now available on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux!Ģ6 July 2016 - Blackmagic Design today announced that Fusion visual effects software is now available on the Linux platform. With their cameras as well, you could quite conceivably shoot, edit and post a complex feature including CGI elements and complex 3D compositing. They can quite reasonably claim this, because Resolve is still being developed at a furious pace, with ever-increasing editing capabilities. This type of software has been, and mostly still is, expensive, especially for individual users.Īnd then there’s the “macro” effect: as we said when the original announcement was made, it looks like Blackmagic is aiming to “own” the post production space. Make no mistake: at this price, this is disruptive: massively so. The free version appears to be packed with features, while the paid-for Studio version seems to be geared towards facilities, with more enterprise-type features for collaboration. Just two months after their announcement at IBC that they’d bought Eyeon, the company that makes Fusion, it’s on their website, available for download.Īnd just like everyone hoped (dared to hope!) it’s free, with a “Studio” version for $995. We knew it was coming but we didn’t expect it this quickly.
That was quick! Just two months after Blackmagic announced that it had bought Fusion, it's available now for download.
