Which approach can speed up applying a Fusion effect without manually building nodes?

• A. Use Fusion templates to apply a simple Fusion effect quickly.
• B. Use the Media Pool to swap clips.
• C. Use the Color page to add a Fusion template.
• D. Fusion templates cannot be used.

Answer: (A)

Using ready-made Fusion templates speeds up applying a Fusion effect because they provide prebuilt node graphs that can be applied to a clip in one step, avoiding manual node creation. Fusion templates live in the Effects Library, and you can drag a template onto a clip or into the Fusion composition to instantly instantiate the entire setup. You can then tweak the parameters to taste without rebuilding the network, which is much quicker for simple effects and handy for rapid workflows. The other ideas don’t apply the node graph: swapping clips in the Media Pool changes the media, not the Fusion effect; adding a Fusion template from the Color page isn’t how Fusion templates are applied; and it’s not true that Fusion templates cannot be used.
