User Manual

Using the Effects Library
All effects that you can add to your edit, including filters, transitions, titles, and generators, are
found in the Effects Library, which is split into two parts. To the left is a Bin list that shows a
hierarchical list of all of the different transitions, title effects, generators, and filters that are
available, sorted by category. To the right is a browsing area in which you can see the contents
of whichever bins are selected.
The Effects Library
Similar to the Media Pool, the Effects Library’s Bin list can be opened or closed using a button
at the top left, while a dropdown menu in the upper left of the Effects Library pane lets you sort
the list into different categories.
The Toolbox
All of the video and audio transitions, titles, and generators that ship along with
DaVinci Resolve:
 Toolbox: Exposes all transitions, titles, generators, and effects at once.
–
Video Transitions: Contains all of the built-in transitions that are available from
DaVinci, organized by category. At the bottom of the list, a User category shows
presets that you’ve saved. You can drag any video transition to any edit point in the
Timeline that has overlapping clip handles to add it to your edit; you have the option
to drag the transition so that it ends on, is centered on, or starts on the edit point.
For more information, see Chapter 35, “Using Transitions.”
–
Audio Transitions: Contains audio transitions for creating crossfades.
–
Titles: Titles can be edited into the Timeline like any other clip. Once edited into the
Timeline, you can edit the title text and position directly in the Timeline Viewer, or
you can access its controls in the Inspector for further customization.
