The Fusion page opens, displaying the node tree used to create the Fusion transition.
The Cross Dissolve node tree in Fusion.
The MediaIn 1 node represents the outgoing clip in the Edit page Timeline. The MediaIn 2 clip
represents the incoming clip. You can modify or completely change the Cross Dissolve effect to
create your own custom transition using any of Fusion’s nodes.
The Fusion Cross Dissolve node tree replaced with Transforms and a Merge node.
TIP: To modify the duration of the Fusion transition from the Edit page Timeline, you
must apply the Resolve Parameter Modifier to any animated parameter. In place of
keyframing the transition, you create the transition using the Scale and Offset
parameters of the Resolve parameter modifier.
Updating a Fusion Transition
After modifying the transition in Fusion, you can choose to update the transition in the Timeline
or create a new transition, which you save into the Edit page Effects Library. To update the
transition, just return to the Edit page. The transition in the Edit page Timeline reflects the
changes you make in the Fusion page.
Saving a New Fusion Transition
If after modifying the transition in Fusion, you need to save it to the Effects Library to reuse it on
other transitions or other projects, you must make a macro and save it to the Transitions folder.
Start by selecting every node in the Node Editor that you want to include in the transition
template, including the two MediaIn nodes and the MediaOut node.
TIP: Since the transition template must include the MediaIn and MediaOut nodes, the
final steps for saving a transition template must be performed in DaVinci Resolve’s
Fusion page and cannot be performed in Fusion Studio.
