Are your Fusion nodes messier than your desk?
If you’re working quickly it can be easy to make a crazy noodle nightmare with connections. And when you open up the project again, you might not remember what you did last time.
So it’s a good idea to stay organized. It might take a little time to set up, but once you’ve found what works your comp work will feel faster and less stressful.
Check out the video and Casey Faris will give you some great tips:
- Arrange nodes to grid
- Giving nodes plenty of space
