Transitions provide another way of bridging the change from one clip to another, and are often used to indicate a change in time or location when changing scenes. DaVinci Resolve supports a variety of transitions ranging from various forms of the traditional cross dissolve to different types of wipes, allowing for great flexibility when finishing creative edits. In addition, DaVinci Resolve supports
third-party OpenFX transitions that you install on your system. Transitions are applied at edit points, and appear as editable objects in the Timeline.

Previewing Transitions
To preview a transition before you place it into the Timeline, ensure that “Hover Scrub Preview” is checked in the Transitions option menu, then simply hover your pointer over any transition in the Transitions tab (Cut page) or Effects Library Toolbox (Edit page) and move it across the thumbnail. The transition will preview in the Viewer using the two clips nearest the smart indicator in the Cut page, or the two clips nearest the playhead in the Edit page.
Scrubbing over a Transition Thumbnail previews the transition in the Viewer.
