Fade In and Out to Playhead Commands
A pair of commands in the Trim menu let you use the playhead position over a clip to “Fade In to Playhead” or “Fade Out to Playhead.” This can be done for a single clip or for multiple superimposed clips.
These commands work for both audio and video items, in both the Edit and Fairlight pages.
Alpha Channel Support
If a superimposed video or still image clip in the Timeline has an embedded alpha channel, that alpha channel automatically creates transparency within that clip, compositing it against whatever is in the track underneath. There’s no need for you to do anything for this to work.
Superimposing a clip with an alpha channel above automatically composites that clip against the clip beneath it
NOTE: If you’ve imported clips with alpha channels, those alpha channels can be rendered back out for Round Trip workflows. Choose a Format and Codec combination that supports alpha channel output, and turn on the Export Alpha checkbox in the Video panel of the Render Settings list.

However, if you need to disable or alter the interpretation of an alpha channel for any clip, for example if a clip is being interpreted as having an alpha channel of the wrong type, you can right-click that clip, choose Clip Attributes from the contextual menu, and use the Alpha Mode pop-up menu of the Clip Attributes Video panel to correct the problem.
Keying in the Timeline Using Resolve FX
You can pull keys directly in the Timeline using the Resolve FX Key filters. These are found in the Resolve FX section of the Open FX category, of the Effects Library. The filter options are 3D Keyer, HSL Keyer, and Luma Keyer. For more information about using Resolve FX Key filters, see Chapter 156, “Resolve FX Key.” Below is an example of using the Resolve FX 3D Keyer filter in the Timeline.
