Part 2 builds on what we’re shown in the first video, by extending things with some slightly more advanced effects, but it’s also very easy to follow along.

Even if you don’t want to use this exact transition, the techniques shown in the video can be applied to a lot of different uses, so it’s well worth a watch, to learn how some of the different nodes work. Part 1 above keeps things pretty simple and straightforward and very easy to get to grips with for anybody who’s not delved into the Fusion side of DaVinci Resolve before. If you stick with it, nodes are extremely powerful, and in this case, the final result is very effective. Those coming from the 3D world, and particularly Blender, will have little trouble making the transition. The free DaVinci Resolve transitions pack features a simple distort and blur with a twist to the left and focus switch. But Resolve isn’t the only application to use nodes. Working with 1080P, 24 frame, ProRes footage (which works. Node-based workflows differ greatly to the layer-based workflows found in other editors like Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro and even photography applications like Photoshop and Affinity Photo (I do wish somebody would make a node-based photo editor). Best Way to Resolve the AVI and DaVinci Resolve Incompatibility To fix the problem, the easy workaround is to transcode AVI to a more editing-friendly format, such a DaVinci Resolves DNxHD codec. But what might make it seem a little more daunting for newer users is the node-based workflow Fusion employs. But when you break it down, it’s really no more complex than the stuff Andrew Kramer’s been doing for years with After Effects on Video Copilot. If you’re very new to Resolve or motion graphics and visual effects in general, then this tutorial is going to seem pretty in-depth.
