Amsterdam, The Netherlands - September 7, 2007 – eyeon releases the Fusion 5.2 Learning Edition this year at IBC in Amsterdam.

This freely-available learning version of eyeon’s award-winning film compositing software was produced to help artists experiment and master Fusion without the need to purchase any licenses. All of the features and power available with a commercial license of Fusion are also present in the Fusion 5.2 Learning Edition.

Built on the release of Fusion 5.2, users will have access to over one hundred updates and modifications, such as interface performance improvements in various areas that make the artist’s workflow more efficient.

New features included in the Fusion 5.2 LE are:

* 3D LUTs, fully GPU accelerated with plug-in file formats - support for 3D LUTs in both the FileLUT tool and as a view LUT
* Expanded metadata handling for DPX, Cineon and OpenEXR formats
* Fusion’s scriptable plug-ins allow for the design and running of image processing tools created in the Fusion Lua scripting engine
* Python scripting has been added to control Fusion from web hosts and interfaces to Python-based film pipeline management systems
* Tracker’s new infinite sub pixel precision method is faster and more accurate over changing footage
* A new Vector Motion Blur tool

Plus additional new tools, and hundreds of UI enhancements and workflow improvements

“By continuing to offer a free learning edition of Fusion with each major release, eyeon lowers the cost to freelancers and facilities for training and we re-affirm our commitment to our growing community of artists.”

Isaac Guenard, Senior Product Manager, eyeon Software Inc.

There are a few necessary limitations to the Fusion 5.2 Learning Edition. Any images written to disk will be stamped with watermarks to prevent their use commercially. In addition, the Fusion 5.2 Learning Edition does not load third-party plug-ins, and compositions saved with this edition cannot be opened with a commercial license of Fusion.

An important feature to the Fusion 5.2 Learning Edition is that eyeon provides the same high quality support to artists with the Fusion Learning Edition as is available to artists with commercial licenses.
