Blackmagic Fusion Workshop

Join us for a 2-day Blackmagic Fusion Workshop with BMD Master Trainer and BBC-Trained Post Specialist Jamie Dickinson. Date - July 7th & 8th, 3 PM-9PM BST on both days.

Here’s some detail and a description of the Fusion workshop -

The topics on this course have been selected to provide a solid understanding  of the main concepts in Blackmagic Design Fusion. Using commonly occurring tasks, like keying and tracking, you’ll learn and understand many important fundamental concepts in Fusion and compositing.  

If you’re an editor, a colourist or a complete beginner new to Fusion, this will help demystify the Fusion Page and it will get you working with nodes with all the benefits that can bring to your workflow. This is a great selection of topics to get people started on using Fusion. Some of it is a variation on the certified Blackmagic Design three-day course, some is new material. You’ll be able to follow along and ask questions as we go, it should be fun!
