You mean like how the audio fades have the point in the middle that you can manually move around to adjust the shape? If so, I personally don't like editing like that as it's hard to replicate the same fade shapes across multiple edits by hand. But as long as the manual curves correlate to numerical values in the Inspector that can be copied and pasted then I'm all for having multiple options.
I’d also like to be able to move a cross fade freely rather than just pick left/center/right for position.
Yes, I really do not understand the point of that. For crossfades the end points are what matter, not the original edit point. Yet, Resolve focuses more on the original edit point. Resolve doesn't even show a preview of the clip being adjusted in the viewer when adjusting an edge of a transition. Resolve feels completely backwards when it comes to editing transitions.
In an old feature request, I requested having the transitions look exactly the same after they are added (whether you add them left, right, or center on a cut). This would make adjusting the transitions so much nicer and more flexible as you could combine all of the editing features from left/right and center and have them all accessible while editing without having to change the location of the transition. For example, if you want to use symmetrical editing you have to change the transition to be centered, not left/right.
