Cross Dissolve causing image to jump/blip

PostMon Jun 02, 2025 4:42 pm

I'm doing simple 4k edits on the free version of Davinci Resolve.
On some cuts, when I apply the 'Cross Dissolve' it causes the transition to do a vertical jump/blip. Even though the before and after clips as the same clip so there is no disparity in the positioning of the images in the video animation.
The reason for the cut is that I made them in Canva and applied a winter/rainy filter to the first and a summer/bright filter to the other so wanted to use a dissolve rather than straight cut to transition from one to the other.
In other cuts there is no jump but there is some in other ones.

My PC is a bit old so it chugs a bit in the editor when playing, but exports smoothly enough.
In the video example I first play the transition as a cut with no dissolve effect and in the second clip I show the jump/blip when the dissolve is applied.
Then I run them side by side three times for comparison.

Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm running the free version of Resolve with a rolled back version of 18.6.6
When I upgraded it causes issues and when I upgraded again to V.20 it just crashed every time. 18.6.6 runs very smoothly.
