Thanks, Alex! Though I thought I knew everything I needed about transitions, you've been able to show me something new. Speaking about "handles" for transitions, this is one of the features that frustrates me in DaVinci Resolve. Unlike Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve requires extra frames, or "handles," beyond the visible clip boundaries to create smooth transitions. This means that if your clips don't have enough extra footage, the software will shorten the clips to accommodate the transition.Imagine you set up your timeline full of clips, effects, and sounds/music, and then you apply a transition to some or all of your clips. In DaVinci Resolve, the clips might shift because the software uses the extra frames from the adjacent clips, potentially disrupting the alignment with your audio and other elements. In contrast, Premiere Pro handles transitions differently by allowing you to overlap clips without necessarily shortening them, which can help maintain the integrity of your timeline.
True drag and drop transitions would be fantastic especially if you need to transition on a sound effect or a motion gesture from your on screen talent. When I punch in a transition on the timeline at a specific point, it needs to happen there. I can't fiddle around with trimming and sliding to make it work, that's what the software is supposed to do. I am the director, it is up to the software to work within the constraints of my parameters on the timeline.
I think you can give your clip handles by capturing the first frame and then inserting it as a 'handle', then make a composite clip of the handle/s and the video, to give you some frames for the transition. But I find it much easier just to remember to start the camera early and turn it off late so handles are always available, and for camera you can read 'zoom recording' or 'screen capture', a few extra seconds and start and end always makes life easier.
Yep, found that out today. I carefully cut my clips to get the exact edit I wanted and then when I was done I tried adding transitions between the clips. DaVinci Resolve wouldn't let me add a single video transition between any of the clips. I spend hours editing just to have it all ruined at the end. Very frustrating.
@@cheetos585 - since Resolve isa nondestructive (and nonlinear)editor you don't have to cut any clips outside of resolve. You add the originals to the media pool (create proxies!), then select the portions of them that you want and insert into the timeline. no destructive cutting needed at all. when resolve renders your timeline it will only read and output the parts it needs.
@@DavidtheSwarfer Maybe that's where I'm getting tripped up. You said, "select the portions of them that you want and insert into the timeline", and I do that by cutting what I want from the clip. I don't understand how else I would do that other than cutting the clip to what I want to be on the timeline. Also, I'm not cutting outside of Resolve, I'm cutting the clips in Resolve. Sorry, but I'm just confused.
Wish this was up a year ago. Almost everything you showed us today, I learned by trial and error. Almost is the keyword, because I did not know about the short cuts. Thank you !
Thank you Alex, i appreciate you are doing this theme, i watched about photos, and that was great. It helps me systematise my skills. Looking forward for the next topic
Hi Alex. I purchased the Audiio lifetime. Thanks for letting us know about that. Your tutorials are great. I produce a series for PBS called "Painting and Travel with Roger and Sarah Bansemer" and we've been on PBS for about 15 years now. I've been using Sony Vegas but find Davinci so much better. Still use Vegas for our final PBS edits as I'm still learning Davinci thanks to tutorials like yours.
Thanks again and even though I‘m working since Resolve 16 there was something new (with solid color). Btw I have now lifetime Audiio and it‘s so extrem timesaving searching the wright Music, great
Thanks for all your work mate, it helps a tone for a nooby like me. Started to do some travel/camping videos again and wanted to use filmora again M but seems there is barely any community support on RUclips for it. Your channel is the main reason I started to learn/use davinci resolve! Keep up the good with!!
Always fun and informative watching your videos! I just realize when you double click on a transition it opens up a new timeline on the preview window where one can see the single frame counts.. not sure yet how to use it and if it would make sense for me to use it. Another thing, which is pretty logical but didn't thought about while being on my workflow, one gotta switch on the bypass color grade and fusion effects button on the upper right when using the fusion transition.. or at least when one wants a preview of it... depending on the the footage one edits it makes sense to switch it off and turn the timeline resolution to half or something.. but then one can't see these transitions.. how ever! Thank you! Gotta save my presets now! 🤣
OMG...I was half way through and my jaw was already dropping. Can you do a video/short on how to do the "logo" pop in like you mentioned? Eeek the audio transitions, yay! This made me realize how much I don't know about DR even after years of using it. Thanks Alex!
Awesome crash course, Alex! The only thing missing was how you'd access transition packs that were purchased - or installed from an outside source. Otherwise, very entertaining and helpful!
ah, using the crossfade on the audio is brilliant! I have spent far too much time messing with keyframes. I confess I keep transitions simple so they don't distract the audience from the content because I usually do educational stuff, usually just crossfades , but sometimes for tutorial videos I use the push so it looks like (tries to anyway) a page turning to cue the viewer that the subject is changing. Then I might use fades between points and pushes between topics.
Great video Alex. And as always, very entertaining. I have a question, not so much about transitions, but about applying effects. I’ve watched dozens (hundreds?) of videos demonstrating effects in Da Vinci Resolve. Sometimes, you have to drop the effect on the clip, sometimes you add the effect to a separate video track, and sometimes you have to add an adjustment clip, and drop the effect onto that. My question is: how do you know which of the three methods you’re supposed to use to apply a particular effect. None of the videos I’ve watched have ever explained this. Is this worth a separate video? Thanks for all your videos. You and Casey are my favourite Da Vinci RUclipsrs. And I look forward to new episodes of the podcast the two of you do. Cheers from Down Under.
Another great video Alex 😎 Honestly I'd like a smoother Crossfade transition. Also I bought your glass transitions and they don't work as smoothly with 18 as they did with previous. Versions. Thanks in advanced
As always Alex, a great video mate. Me, I'd like great transitions between photos. I watched your video on photos, and I have bought various plugins for VFX, but holy moly, do they make it complicated for this old boy. :-)
Ideas for a new transition: A Transition that uses depth maps of two videos (5 seconds of each) and then use the depth maps to zoom them in/out/merged/slide, based on the brightness (depth) of the image. I've not seen a transition based on depth map, so there must be some scope there in creating something brand new
Great vid Alex! It would save so much time if you could try to recreate Sapphire's Swish 3D transition as a Fusion macro, but it's quite a challenge, I must warn you
Awesome, as always! 🔥❤️❤️ I wish there was a way to insert random or selected transitions between clips in one go? 🤔🤷🏽♂️ I know it can be done with one transition for multiple clips, as you've shown here. HELP!!😳🤣😂
Thanks for the Video! I knew most of these but still learned a few essential things like the curve actually being in the timeline curve editor. I haven't looked into it at all yet but I'm super curious if there's a way to combine transitions visually with audio in a fusion transition? for example, add a swoosh sound effect to a pan transition - but instead of having to add it manually for every transition on the timeline, it would be included in the transition? 👀 maybe your video on fusion transitions can addresses Things like that and if not im sure ill look into it whenever I need it next haha-
Hey Alex: any way you can make your captions a full 2 lines again? It would make your instructions read much better, especially to your 'read-only'/deaf viewers. The YT caption options don't fix this problem. Thanks for listening.
Transitions! Since you asked for "exactly what you want..." Any transition that the average viewer will just know could not possibly have been done with Filmora, ClimpChamp, or Powerpoint or Prezi, for that matter. How's that for being ridiculously vague? 😊 In other words, something that stands out, is eye candy, fun, edgy, impressive, and clearly out of reach for the "weekend RUclips warrior" who edits for about 1 hour a week. Definitely something far beyond the reach of say....Bee Cut. All of those products are perfectly fine for their intended users. But via Resolve, I strive for a whale of a lot more. So.... go for it. Make some cool transitions that you would be darn proud of ! I'm sure they will be awesome.
Can you include an "auto-ease" for a series of key frames? Like I move an arrow in my guide point "A -> B -> C -> D" and I have always to go there and add the easing either per keyframe or hop to the Fusion and then do it in the spline editor. Would be amazing if you could automate that for us fellow guidecreators!
The one thing I find frustrating with Resolve is how some transitions work on the V2 layer. If I stack something on top (for reasons) and then apply something more complicated than a Cross Dissolve transition (to the clip on V2) - it doesn't work the same way as if I had it down on V1 adjacent to the clip (I hope I've explained that right?). Added to this, if I've got a logo or image top right hand corner which I've resized to 50%, cropped, moved position (again, on V2) and add a transition - it doen'st work the way it should. Fix that in your new stuff, and I'll buy them all!!
Question. Is it possible to save some sound effect with transition? I hate that every time I make a transition I have to manually search for the sound effect again and the same actions over and over again. For example, I like to supplement the transition with burning with the sound of a flame. How can I save it?
I thought I was going to go nuts earlier today. Everything I thought I new about applying transitions and need for handles disappeared. Major frustration. Then I saw this video, but when I tried it out I found I had not yet got it. in my video, I saw the red marks at the edit point, could move the right hand clip but not the left hand clip and could not therefor centre the dissolve. What am I doing wrong?
Weirdly my Rotate effect didn't have any of those options. I'm in Inspector, Transition, Effect - Rotate, Controls, and the only option is Motion Blur. (On most recent official release of studio.)
Is there a way to mark somehow clips you've already added to your timeline from the media pool? I'm making holiday clips and I have like 30 clips of singing pumpkins in the media pool and it would be nice if there was a way to have some sort of indication that a clip has already been added to the timeline so I don't accidentally use the same clip twice or spend extra time having to go back and forth through the timeline to check. Thanks
It's absolutely ridiculous that there needs to be extra frames in order to be able to apply a transition. Now my carefully edited video is going to show unwanted footage (or cut off footage I want shown) just because it needs those extra frames for the transition. Do you have, or can you make a video showing an editing technique that takes in account the need for extra frames?
I've been having issues with my fusion transitions for some time now. Every time I drag and drop them on the clips, the clip goes black for the duration of the transition. Got any suggestions for?
I do like what Davinci offers out of the box. But imagine instead of 1 default preset you could have 5. And then every time you apply, it would chose 1 of them. Imagine now you could just select all clips and then do the same.
My biggest dislike about Resolve transitions is how absurdly hard it is to select them. You have to zoom in extremely close to avoid all the other things the cursor wants to select, it wastes a lot of time and is very frustrating. A shortcut to next transition (on the timeline) would be useful.
even in his most simple videos, i end up learning something new!! this guy is amazing ❤
For sure. Adding the same transition to multiple clips at once is a great tip for example.
Transitions on text, color and images is going to be a lifesaver for me
I love the way your showing this. Straight to the point. No fluff. Thank you!

I experience a second of joy every time you use a transition for the video itself that you just showed on screen within the project.
Wow! Too much to digest in one go. I'll have to watch this video several times to properly process everything. Many thanks for making this video.
An excellent refresh as well as a great introduction for newbies to Resolve.
In any of your videos other than very well exposed information there is always a gem! using transition for titles, how did I not think of that.
Thanks Alex. Didn't know transitions were available to use on titles, solids and images. Cheers!
