Notes:
Take your superhero effects to the next level with some of these tips. I made sure to show it in fusion and in the edit/color page because I know some folks can find the fusion page intimidating. To those of you who are on the fence I highly recommend checking it out. If you have After effects experience your knowledge won't directly carry over, but once you get used to a node based compositing system you won't want to go back.
Also let me know what you think of these deep dive tutorials. It's like 2 or 3 of my regular videos all packed into one, in an attempt to try and provide some of the most comprehensive resolve tutorials not behind a paywall.
