Hi guys,
Solving the problem of using transitions in the free version of DaVinci Resolve.
There are two options. One is more difficult, and the second is simpler. Both of them are described below.
If you use transitions in the free version of DaVinci Resolve, then after copying the pack to your project, the program will issue a warning. About using unknown tools. These are the instruments from the Studio version. There will be several messages and you just need to close them by pressing the Enter key. In earlier versions this worked fine, but in 18.5, clicks don’t work on these windows. DaVinci Resolve will stop responding and freeze. Then start the task manager by pressing Ctrl + Alt + Delete and remove the task from Davinci Resolve. Then, when it closes, launch it again and open the same project of yours into which you inserted the transitions. It will open without problems. All transitions will already be in it. Further, if during work you put a transition on the timeline, which is supported only in the Studio version, you will receive a warning. Just close it by pressing the Enter key. Clicking the OK button doesn’t work for some reason. I hope that the developers will solve these problems in future versions of DaVinci Resolve.
It should be mentioned that before inserting transitions into your project or into a new project, you need to save it. Then, when inserting transitions, they will be saved in it.
If the DaVinci Resolve Studio purchase window pops up, it is also closed by pressing the Enter key.
Regarding the warning about the DaVinci Resolve limit. It occurs when you try to use the transitions made for the Studio version. This is a small part of the transitions. Just remove them from the project so they don’t get in the way.
The second use case in the free version of DaVinci Resolve avoids freezing. Open a clean project with transitions. Next, open your project and copy it through the clipboard to the project with transitions. Save this project under a new name and work. If you need a new project, then start it in a clean project with transitions, after saving it with a new name of any kind.
Best Regards,
Boris
