What is the best workflow between the Affinity Suite and Davinci Resolve? Can you completely replace Adobe when there's no dynamic link?
Here is how you can import your Affinity creations to be animated in Resolve.

We're switching from Adobe to Affinity and Black Magic as they don't have subscription model, and this channel is a goldmine of knowledge for those who are doing the same transition. Keep it up!

Funny how things work out sometimes. I use Affinity for a long time now and just recently explored/stumbled around in Davinci and now I saw your post on reddit for this video. all hail the algorythm. :D Great video mate and greetings to Scotland.

I use the hole lot all the Adobe and Infinity packages, love illustrator so this is handy even though I have Infinity Designer. No destruction with vector graphics either.

Considering Affinity is not planning to create an alternative video editor, I think it would be really useful if both Serif and Resolve did a collaboration. At the end of the day, it would benefit both companies.

Tell me about it dude! Spent so many years paying Adobe for software that is buggy and slow. Not to mention stupidly expensive. For most content creators, I think Affinity + DR make a great replacement :) Thanks for the sub Quentin.

It's so amazing hearing another Glaswegian accent on KZfaq! There isn't many of us! Love your videos mate, the only thing keeping me from fully going over to Davinci is after effects, so I've been watching all of your videos and they've been amazing helpful. Keep up the videos, they're so good and will only get more popular the more popular resolve gets.

Simon my dude! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 thanks for commenting. Love connecting with other Scottish KZfaqrs 🙌 I hear ya on the after effects stuff, it’s the hardest one to say goodbye to for sure. I’m a few years into the switch and still find the occasional thing that is probably slightly easier on AE. But… it’s never impossible, there’s always a way! Best of luck mate

This video would have been amazing to have 6 months ago when I was struggling horribly to get SVG files to properly import into Fusion and ended up doing everything as individual "media in" nodes....hahahaha. Great to know for future projects. Thanks!

great video, thanks for sharing! this is a really minor thing but i was wondering if there's a quick way to remove the extra space around layers that aren't as big as the canvas, without messing with their position? i've tried to put a crop node between the mediain and the merge, and the auto crop button does a good job at removing the space, but then it also moves everything to the center

@RyanOsborneUK 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you! And thanks for watching. Right now, I don’t believe there is a way to do that unfortunately. I suspect you’d have to reposition them. You could probably export all your assets as slices in Affinity and bring them into Fusion but you’d have to reposition them. I’ve always just added a transform node and used the pivot function to adjust the anchor point and this has been sufficient for me. Hope that helps!

@slinnky Жыл бұрын

Have you found a way to import editable text from Affinity Designer? I'm assuming this is just going to be a limitation we'll have to work around.

@RyanOsborneUK Жыл бұрын

Not officially, no. Text will come in as text+ node when using the SVG import function (worth checking out) but it’s likely to change the font. Not a huge issue but annoyingly it’s also not got a good track record of being able to tell what text should be grouped together. So you can find sometimes that words are broken up between more than one text node, which makes no sense. Fusion’s SVG parsing function really needs an update.

@spiralmoment Жыл бұрын

I have tried this at least 20 times. I have tried exporting as whole document, selection area, selections only. And only once did it import layers into the fusion node area. Every other time it just imported into the media pool, and when I drag it into the node area I don't get any layers, and what is see is either blurry white, instead of a black circle, or nothing at all depending on the export method. I have no idea what magic combination I used when I goy the layers imported, but when I connected to the media out node nothing showed anyway. If I just import a single layer at a time I just get a blurry white circle on a black background instead of the opposite. But that would be pointless anyway. Im starting to question reality, and my ability to count and tie my own shoes.

I'm trying to import Affinity Designer SVGs into Fusion, but it doesn't transfer over the effects and transparencies I applied to the vectors. Is there something I'm missing? The SVGs look like they exported the attributes ok....but Fusion doesn't recognize them (they turn black or are missing). Help please? 🙏

@RyanOsborneUK Жыл бұрын

Probably not missing anything tbh. Unfortunately information like transparency and effects need to be reapplied at the fusion side 😢 there’s no way (currently) to bring these across

@olusha Жыл бұрын

@@RyanOsborneUK Thank you for your reply...and...that's disappointing. I tried the PSD import which did read some of the effects...but then didn't import all of the assets in the group! If it's not one thing, it's another-! This is why Adobe still rules for vector motion graphics I guess 😭

@RyanOsborneUK Жыл бұрын

Hey Nadine! 🙂 thanks for watching! Hopefully I can help. First thing to check, is to make sure to name all of your layers in Affinity first? They must have names. Did you do that?

I have been trying to get the PSD method to work all day and I am sad to say it is just a no go. It looks like it works fine. I can animate the groups and everything. Then when I close and reload the project, I come back to a black screen. I tried relinking to MediaOut and I can see the groups again. But they can't be moved anymore.

@ElGalloUltimo 3 ай бұрын

I went back and checked your video and see that you say it needs to be the same dimensions. That is also a no-go for me because I have a large item I need to rotate into and out of the scene. Guess I need to just import these items as JPGs or PNGs.

What an amazing pain in the ass… I have a much better idea. Just use after affects. When it comes to something like this, after effects is way better than fusion. Fusion has its place and it has its merits… But when it comes to real graphic design, nothing can touch after effects. I use resolve to edit and I use fusion for a few things but when it comes to real graphic design, I’m sticking with after affects.
