Awesome video Casey, huge props for not just showing us how certain things are done, but rather tell us why they were done like this, S-tier info right there.

As a former professional graphic designer for 25 years, all of what Casey is on about here is spot on. This is why companies spend millions of dollars on a ‘design language’ for their products. A design language isn’t the words or the spoken dialect but rather how something appears in the context that it’s being used and perceived. That ‘language’ is what Casey is talking about. It’s the very basics, rudimentary, of design language. This stuff is absolutely key in how you communicate your video message. Do it poorly and your msg is lost. Do it well and you’re onto something. But it’s only one piece of the pie. The rest of what he’s talking about applies to the motion element. Again this part of why companies spend millions on a design language. Imagine the apple logo for a moment. Notice that there’s a way it appears in most ads. it doesn’t just pop on the screen, it’s blended onto the screen. That’s intentional, and that’s the motion part of what Casey is on about. Oh and Casey, nicely done. I would have tackled this topic a little differently. As per usual your way of organizing the topic was stellar.

What a great demonstration of how polished a few simple effects can be. Very nicely done!

Amazing as always! Design Priniciples: - 1:30 Contrast - 2:50 White Space - 4:30 Alignment - 9:45 Typography - 16:10 Visual Hierarchy 19:22 animation, art and touches!

You're the best, Casey! These videos have been tremendously helpful, thank you!

Love your videos, super helpful and informative, each and every time. Really love showing my son the node land videos and mimicking the lesson with our own composition. I appreciate you man, thank you so much for what you do. ❤

Another super informative video, Casey. Thanks so much for all you do.

DaVinci Resolve is crazy good. I can scarcely believe it's free software. Also, thank you for all of the knowledge shared, Casey. I've been binging your Fusion content because there's just so much good stuff

Brilliantly done and exceptionally delivered content! Thank you. ❤

great stuff! Im looking forward to buying your zero to hero course soon, this is just so much value!

Awesome thank you! Your videos are seriously the best

Never seen a video touching this topic like this…Gold

Excellent video. Thanks Casey from London.

If I give all your videos 100 out of 100 marks then I will give this video 1000 out of 100 marks. This video is so much practical, amazing and easy to understand. Your explanation skills are getting better and better. Good work👍. I am waiting for more motion graphics tutorials. Specially I am curious about the trending motion graphics line animation reels which explains things very well. Please make a tutorial on that.

Thanks for the vid, I learned a lot! For example, I learned my mom lies. She said my vids were great, and now I learn they were Noobish. I will never again immortalize someone in Comic Sans. (but honestly the vid taught me a lot!)

Thank you Casey 👍👍👍

Super cool, again, thank you Casy !! I'll be using that water drop effect on the title of the next video i'm editing about my island swim. Love the teaching speed, flow and ease, thank you.

This was REALLY helpful

Brilliant! I'm learning so much!!! Thanks Casey :-)

Amazing video! So many tidbits that make sense but aren't immediately obvious. Thanks!

I suck at graphic design. Thanks for the tips on this!

Great stuff on design and visual hierarchy

G'day Casey - Really enjoyed this lesson, and its message - to just do the simple things well ! Thank you - Keep creating. Keep sharing 👍👊😎

This is so powerful! Thank you! 🥂

This might just be the most important video you've done that I've seen. (& I've seen quite a few ;) ) Very well done, we need more "guides" like this for DaVinci. That guide you illustrated I didn't know was in fusion. I just found the one(not quite the same) on the edit page. Is there that exact same one in the edit page? If so, where can I find it? Thanks!!

Fun and easy! I'm sure with enough time it'll become second nature as well, rather than being so intimidating

"You never see Hollywood...that's a great indication..." Yep - one of my guiding principles is "If you're the only one doing something, you're probably doing it wrong."

Motion graphics are my passion

A new course on VFX graphics, said in an email that they chose After Effects because Fusion is not as good at motion graphics. Would you agree with the following? "What about Resolve Fusion? It's free and I hear it's great." It is great! And it's amazing that it's free, there's a lot you can do with it. Some things even a bit better than with After Effects. That said, we've chosen to use After Effects for almost all of our work and decided to spend the last three years designing a course that teaches how to create graphics and VFX with it. We're pretty committed! Here's why we recommend editors use After Effects to create VFX and graphics: 1) AE is more intuitive for editors AE is a layer-based workflow, just like your editing software. Node-based workflows like Fusion take time to get used to and are a bit awkward to transition in and out of when you're spending most of your time editing in a layer-based NLE. 2) AE wins at motion graphics Fusion is excellent at compositing, arguably even better than After Effects. However it's very limited with motion graphics capabilities, which is a pretty widely-known issue in the post-production world. As editors, that's a big problem for us. After Effects is great at working with vectors, building and arranging visuals with fast and accurate grids and alignment tools. Since we all need to do VFX plus graphics, we need to use a program that excels at both. 3) AE is the "industry-standard" Why does that matter? Because being compatible with the majority of jobs, other people's workflows and software programs is extremely important. 4) AE has amazing 3rd-party tools & plugins There are 100's (1000's?) of plugins, scripts and other 3rd-party tools for After Effects whereas Fusion's support community is still growing. This is important. Some AE plugins let you make fancy and exciting stuff like simulated smoke, heatwaves, liquids, camera shake, transitions etc. But it's the simpler add-on's available for After Effects that have made the biggest difference in my life. For example, these 3 seemingly boring tools have made a MASSIVE difference in our work over here creating all of the visual and graphics you've seen in the videos leading up to this course launch: Reposition Anchor Point - I personally use this easily 20-50 times a day. Without this 3rd-party tool, it would take me a cumbersome 30 seconds each time vs 2 secs. Curves - An amazing plugin for quickly smoothing out keyframe animation (featured in Video 3 of the launch series). Turns 2 minutes of work into 5 seconds. Multiply that by 100 uses per day... Labels 4 - Quickly color code your layers and assets in your project. Not exciting, but super fast and helps you keep everything much more organized and more enjoyable to work with. Simple stuff but it adds up big time. And of course, if you want to make a flaming logo fly through a cloud, hit the camera and shatter into 1000 pieces...you can add plugins for that too 🙂 No hate on Fusion...it's great at a lot. But for the reasons above, we continue to choose After Effects for our VFX and motion graphics work.

Those are all valid. Doing a bunch of research into this actually and have found the big hang up for people is 1) more plugins and templates for AE 2) importing Vectors is nicer in AE 3) basically everything else is a honestly people repeating the adage that "fusion is good for VFX but not motion GFX". I have yet to hear a compelling argument for that. Many of the plugins and utilities people like in AE are available in Fusion too, but many people don't know about them. There are a lot of great reasons to use AE. I like Fusion for my workflow, and I do MOSTLY motion GFX these days.

Do you have tips for editing very small clips that you struggle to edit because clip so small for example when u have to make a lot of small cuts in a video

Make some videos on compositing in fusion make advance vedio on fusion compositing like explosion green screen human in environment placing lightining . Like this type of topic we want

Hey chap, just starting to pick up Fusion, so I know how to spell it. In photography, we have this guidance called 'rule of thirds', from what you say in here, it sounds like it applies to motion graphics too, is that a fair assumption? Thanks man.
