VFX programs

[Pata Tela]

Hello! I would like to ask which program for VFX do you recommend? So far for my project I was using just Adobe After Effect. But I know there is also Nuke, or maybe u can recommend something more..? Can someone with experience make some comparison of this programs? Range of functionalities, difficulty of learning and use, advantages and disadvantages? Also the prices and system requirements are important for me.

Hello!

The most popular VFX compositing software is Nuke.
But if you want something more fast, much more stable, with a wider toolset and for a price 3 times less, Eyeon Fusion is for you.

Here are some artist demos:

Now, as Blackmagic Design has acquired Eyeon, we can expect faster development of Fusion and a great marketing support from the successful hardware and software developer

Thanks for all your answers.
I was thinking about Nuke, but i didn’t hear before about Fusion.
About Nuke I was just afraid about few things: if my computer will be strong enough for Nuke and how much cost licence for Nuke?
So in your opinion Fusion is less demanding on hardware? And lower price?
Fusion is also using nodes system?

Yes, Fusion is a node-based compositor, similar to NukeX.
It will work just fine on any machine with a decent gaming video adapter and it will effectively utilize all the cores of your processor and all available RAM.

Thanks!
Does Fusion has some free educational version?
As far as I know Nuke doesnt have..

Fusion now belongs to Blackmagic.
They have recently released a new version under the new brand, and it’s available for downloading completely free of charge:

So basically, you can use almost unlimited Fusion as the educational version.
Here is the list of features which are different in the free and commercial ($995) versions:

Fusion ^^ Did anyone try this? I am a newbe but I love this free version. Any cons of it compared to Nuke? Except of a lack of deep compositing

The list of Fusion features available for free comparing to its commercial version is quite impressing (even output limited to UltraHD isn’t a big deal when there is virtually no devices that can display resolutions bigger than UltraHD)
