Fusion 7 expands our ability to stay flexible for whatever the job demands.
The great thing about using Fusion for motion graphics is that you have an unlimited number of ways to create and design shots so you don't have to leave the package to get the job done, said Dunn Lewis, Motion Graphics and VFX artist. Fusion can handle it all. With its full true 3D compositing environment, motion graphic tools, Spline editor for precise animation curves, Timeline for timing effects and Node based system for compositing, you can overcome any challenge.
