However, do note, if you own a license to the Studio version of Resolve, you can also download and use the Studio version of Fusion at no extra cost. It’s no secret that After Effects and Fusion share many similarities. However, there’s perhaps no more significant difference than in how you compose in each software.Īfter Effects works on a layer-based system.

This means each image element is stacked on top of each other, and are displayed in descending order. This, in both a physical and literal space, makes the most sense to look at.
