Favorite Transitions
While DaVinci Resolve provides a wide variety of transitions by default, most editors typically
only use a subset of these in their day-to-day work. Also, it’s typical to save customized versions
of a particular transition in order to reuse that specific set of transition settings over and
over again.
To set a transition or other effect as a favorite in the Effects Library:
Move the pointer over any transition, and click the star button when it appears to set that
transition as a favorite. Click any transition’s star to “un-favorite” it. Favorites are displayed in the
Favorites area of the Effects Library bin list.
Changing the Standard Transition
Different projects may require different transitions be used as the standard transition.
DaVinci Resolve gives you several tools for dealing with this.
To change the standard transition:
Right-click any transition or effect and choose “Set as Standard Transition.” The standard
transition appears with an orange indicator to the left of its name in the Effects Library.
The Effects Library open, showing starred transitions that have been favorited,
and the standard transition with an orange indicator to the left of its name
To change the standard transition duration:
Open the Editing panel of the User Preferences, and change the “Standard transition duration”
setting (there are controls for setting the duration in either Seconds or Frames). Click Save
when you’re finished.
