ROOK Starter Transition Pack

v1.3 (free update): a one-click installer for Mac and Windows, plus a cleaner Inspector.

v1.2 (free update): runs way smoother.

• Smooth Playback checkbox on all 16 transitions. Tick it while you edit, untick it before you export.
• Works at 24, 30 or 60 fps. Every transition takes the same time at any frame rate.
• Easier install on Windows (steps below).

• COMPATIBLE WITH DAVINCI RESOLVE STUDIO ONLY
• 16 TRANSITIONS

16 Transitions to Level Up Your Mixtape Game. Hard-hitting transitions built for DaVinci Resolve Studio. No recycled presets. Just clean, cinematic motion that hits on beat. Drag, drop, customize, and mix & match to create your own style. Save hours, move faster, and level up your workflow instantly.

What you need

• DaVinci Resolve Studio 19.1 or newer (the paid version; built and tested on Studio 21). It doesn't run on free Resolve. On a Resolve older than 19.1, keep using v1.1.
• Mac: Apple Silicon (M1 or newer) with 16 GB of memory, or 32 GB if you edit 4K.
• Windows: Windows 10 or 11 with a dedicated graphics card.

Still laggy? In this order: tick Smooth Playback → Playback → Timeline Proxy Resolution → Half → Playback → Render Cache → Smart → for 4K/H.265 footage, right-click the clips → Generate Optimized Media → still heavy, select the effect + clips → New Compound Clip → Render in Place.

Installing on Windows

1. Close Resolve all the way.
2. Right-click the zip → Extract All. (Don't drag files straight out of the zip.)
3. Open File Explorer, paste %APPDATA%\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Support\Fusion\Templates into the address bar and press Enter. If Windows can't find it, use C:\ProgramData\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Fusion\Templates
4. Open the extracted "2 - Fusion Templates" folder and drag the Edit folder in (plus ROOK Assets if your pack has it). Choose "Replace the files in the destination" if asked.
5. Check the path reads Templates → Edit → Effects → ROOK…, then restart Resolve.
6. Black Power Bin clips? Delete the old bin and import the .drb again from "3 - Power Bins" → your frame rate.
