With its GPU acceleration, you get instant feedback while you work so you can see exactly what you're doing. Whether you're working alone or with a client, Fusion gives you the real-time control you need so you can spend more time being creative and less time waiting.

Fusion uses nodes—small icons that represent effects, filters, and other processing—can be connected together to easily build up larger and more complex visual effects. Nodes are easy to see and connect together; you can combine tools, images, and objects in any order to create unlimited visual effects. Nodes make it easy to adjust any single part of your project simply by clicking on the node and making an adjustment.

Fusion 16 Studio includes Generation, which is a multiuser management software. Generation helps you manage and track versions of every shot in your studio. You can assign tasks to artists, make notes, and see each team member's workload to help balance the work and finish projects faster. Fusion 16 Studio also features a bin server to let everyone share and see common assets that are needed for the job. That means you don't have to copy and track multiple elements on different computers.
