A new Fusion composition opens with the base Cross Dissolve nodes and tools already set. You now
can use all of the powerful tools in the Fusion page to customize your transition.

Video Transitions
The following are transitions that are available within DaVinci Resolve by default, along with the
parameters that are available for each of them from the Inspector:
Dissolve
A dissolve in the visual language of film generally denotes a passage of time or place. It indicates to
your audience that one scene has ended and another is beginning.
– Additive Dissolve: Style lets you choose what type of cross dissolve you want; choices include:
Video, Film, Additive, Subtractive, Highlights, Shadows. Start Ratio lets you adjust how far along
the transition is when it first begins. End Ratio lets you adjust how far the transition gets at the very
end. The Reverse checkbox reverses the direction of the transition.
– Blur Dissolve: Horizontal/Vertical Strength sets how much blur is performed in the X and Y
dimensions during the course of this transition. Start Ratio lets you adjust how far along the
transition is when it first begins. End Ratio lets you adjust how far the transition gets at the very
end. The Reverse checkbox reverses the direction of the transition.
– Cross Dissolve: Style lets you choose what type of cross dissolve you want; choices include:
Video, Film, Additive, Subtractive, Highlights, Shadows. Start Ratio lets you adjust how far along
the transition is when it first begins. End Ratio lets you adjust how far the transition gets at the very
end. The Reverse checkbox reverses the direction of the transition.
– Dip to Color Dissolve: Start Ratio lets you adjust how far along the transition is when it first begins.
End Ratio lets you adjust how far the transition gets at the very end. The Reverse checkbox
reverses the direction of the transition. Color lets you choose what color the dissolve dips to
at the midpoint.
– Non-Additive Dissolve: Start Ratio lets you adjust how far along the transition is when it first
begins. End Ratio lets you adjust how far the transition gets at the very end. The Reverse
checkbox reverses the direction of the transition.
– Smooth Cut: A special-purpose transition designed to make short jump cuts in the middle of a
clip less noticeable. This is done by using optical flow processing to match the same features on
either side of a cut in order to automatically morph a subject from one position to another over the
duration of the transition.
A Mode drop-down menu provides two options: Faster and Better. The Better option is default,
with excellent quality and the capability of preserving the motion of subjects for the duration of the
transition. The Faster option is the original Smooth Cut method, which morphs between stills of the
outgoing and incoming frames. In most practical circumstances, the Better mode will give you a
superior result, but certain cuts or effects may be better addressed with the Faster option.
